It's no secret TLJ was a failure with a large portion of the fan base who Disney needs to support these films enthusiastically.

(and I don't even like the film all that much) No one denies it was a financial success. I said it was a failure with a large portion of the fan base...which it was. Those are the people Disney is going to need to support this franchise when it's no longer super hot. Disney is going to need those people show up and support these films with positive buzz, especially for the non-Saga films without the general public's beloved characters. 14 minutes ago, Jay said: What a kick in the balls that would be. If its true, its Disney's own fault for announcing Rian's trilogy before TLJ was in theaters. Who knows right? I also wonder what this says about Kathleen Kennedy's position. She's not a story person the way Kevin Feige is, and has pretty much left the directors to their own devices...which has led to some expensive mistakes and the basic reboot of the new films with TLJ. I see that Benioff and Weiss will be writing and producing the new series...that sounds a lot like the role of show runner to me, with generic directors just getting the producer's vision on film. If so, that was presumably what Kennedy was supposed to be doing. So while I wouldn't call it a shake up, we are seeing a perhaps adjusting of the course in the Disney Star Wars universe. And I agree Disney (i.e. Kennedy) WAY jumped the gun on announcing the new Rian trilogy before anyone saw his work. I dunno. I'm just trying to read between the lines, mostly just guessing. But it's hard to imagine having two new trilogies, plus the Kenobi film and whatever other anthology films they have planned. A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,073 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 That's a great point. The MCU works as well as it does because Fiege shapes all the stories to go together, and when they do hire a writer/director (IE Gunn for GOTG), the films were purposely set far apart from everything else going on and only tangentially related (for now)... many of the films are directed by "no name" directors who get the job done without bringing much personal flair. The SW, Kennedy seemed to keep hiring prolific directors who want to make their mark, so the films don't gel as well with each other, and you have Rian John coming in and wiping out half of what JJ set up in 7, and leaving almost nothing on the table for 9.

I'm sure JJ approved of the storyline of TLJ. He's after all an executive producer and like a showrunner of the trilogy.

I'm not so sure about all this. Yeah, he's an EP on TLJ, but based on everything I've read that's the extent of it. TLJ was pretty much exclusively RJ's to do with what he liked. He's said as much.

Balahkay 627 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 If Episode IX was really supposed to be Fisher's film then they probably had to do some major rewrites since there isn't another character to fill her role. Maz perhaps? I can see her character getting more prominence. Also, I think Johnson is given too much credit for "ruining" Star Wars. Sure, he was given writing and directing credits, but it's not likely he had complete creative freedom and control as some imply (just look at the productions of RO and Solo). I see TLJ more as a product of Disney rather than Johnson. I imagine whatever Johnson wanted to do, Disney had to approve first.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Can't say I'm surprised by yet more new Star Warses in the making (why the hell else would Disney purchase the rights), but I do have to wonder about franchise fatigue and the very real threat it poses... to a franchise's longterm health. I've seen it happen in the game's industry, people get sick to death of once beloved series and they eventually need a break from it. Disney should know when to take timeout for a few years after Solo and then Epi 9, but there's no way they'll take any notice of such warnings.

I really disagree with this. I see no evidence that there was ever a basic storyline, because if there was the film would have at least marginally built on what came before. And RJ has made pretty clear on his Twitter feed and interviews that all the major decisions were his...Luke as the anti-hero, killing Snoke, deemphasing Rey's parentage, splitting up Finn and Poe, the casino planet, the tension between Leia and Finn, the Laura Dern character...all of these things RJ has mentioned as being his ideas. He wrote the thing. Do we really think "Disney" mandated all that? To say nothing of the fact that Kennedy and Abrams have both said RJ was given a clean slate. I don't see what basic story they had other than "Rey is on the Island with Luke." He pretty much had to start the film that way. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
