Popular Post crocodile 8,012 Posted November 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2017 http://www.superherohype.com/news/407589-breaking-rian-johnson-developing-new-star-wars-trilogy#/slide/1 Quote As writer-director of The Last Jedi, Johnson conceived and realized a powerful film of which Lucasfilm and Disney are immensely proud. In shepherding this new trilogy, which is separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored. “We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.” “We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on The Last Jedi,” Johnson and Bergman said in a joint statement. “Star Wars is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.” Karol John, Cerebral Cortex, Pieter Boelen and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they really do explore new characters and locations. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Balahkay 627 Posted November 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2017 Is this why he isn't doing Episode IX? Too busy with the new trilogy?

Will 2,215 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Another good thing I just realized - this might mean that Lucasfilm will end, or at least pause, the main saga after IX! Which would be best. James and Holko 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toothless 963 Posted November 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2017 I hope we won't get 3 different composers. I'm all for diversity in standalone films. But as directors changes from one film to another on the episodes, we need continuity. I'd really like desplat. But I'd be more than happy with giacchino. cameron.osborn, Once and James 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothless 963 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Depending on the shape the new trilogy will have, maybe disney will allow for a musical shift in terms of style ?

Popular Post John 2,032 Posted November 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2017 Exciting news! This makes me even more excited for what Rian has in store with The Last Jedi... Many are speculating that it might be an "Old Republic" trilogy, with the three films taking place thousands of years before the prequels, during the Jedi/Sith wars. It'd certainly be a fascinating period of Star Wars mythology to explore, especially with Johnson at the helm, and I know many fans have been hoping for a series like this since Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm. It's a great time to be a Star Wars fan! James, crumbs, Will and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, except that medium is what started it all and what made it special. Sure, you had tons of books, comic books, games, whatever, but you had only 3 films. These were rare, special. Then there were 6. Soon, there'll be 12. And with this new trilogy, 15 (in what, less than 10 years time?). Feeling less and less special by the minute... 9 minutes ago, Quintus said: Another trilogy being in development should come as no surprise to anybody. Sure, the trilogy itself is no surprise.
