    Welp, Colin Trevorrow is officially directing Episode IX.

    At least we get a Lord & Miller-helmed Star Wars movie the year before.

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)

    Not sure we have a thread yet for Post Episode IX Star Wars discussion, but there's a rumor going around on why we haven't had any Obi-Wan Spin-Off movies. Apparently Disney has plans for Obi-Wan in the cannon movies (Episode X, XI and XII).

    Wait, that isn't how I interpreted this at all:

    Quote Quoting Anthony Breznican of EW
    Um, I have heard rumors that the one reason they haven’t moved sooner on Obi-Wan is that they’re not done with Obi-Wan quite yet… in the Saga films. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see an Obi-Wan thing happen beyond Episode IX.
    I took this to mean that Obi-Wan could very easily be involved in Episodes 8 and 9 in some capacity, and as a result this possible solo film with him wouldn't happen until the current saga trilogy (their only officially planned Episodes) had wrapped up.

    The more overt potential meaning to this would be the theory that he [

    You're right Henry. I misread the rumor. The "beyond" part is where I got confused.

    Interesting.

    Quote Quoting Lucasfilm
    We don’t normally respond to fan or press speculation, but there is a rumor circulating that we would like to address. We want to assure our fans that Lucasfilm has no plans to digitally recreate Carrie Fisher’s performance as Princess or General Leia Organa.

    Carrie Fisher was, is, and always will be a part of the Lucasfilm family. She was our princess, our general, and more importantly, our friend. We are still hurting from her loss. We cherish her memory and legacy as Princess Leia, and will always strive to honor everything she gave to Star Wars.

    We don't plan to recreate her, because she dies.

    Is the only way to do it. Just have her character die suddenly, unexpectedly, and move on. They have plenty of time to rewrite the third installment. Recasting or CGI will be a huge distraction and demonstrate a lack of creative inventiveness.

    Yep. Fold her loss into the emotion and story. Star Trek Beyond handled this tastefully with the death of Leonard Nimoy.

    Sorry, those who have started a new family Christmas tradition. Episode 9 release date is 5/24/19.

    This is weird. Does this mean the 3rd anthology will come out in Christmas 19? Are they planning two Star Wars movies a year soon??

    Lots of others have pointed it out, but they originally dated The Last Jedi for May 26th of this year and then bumped it to Christmas so I won't be shocked when the same happens here.

    They're probably waiting to see if their research shows enthusiasm, ticket sales, and merchandise purchasing can be sustained through a second anthology film, but this seems inevitable.

    Someone in California right now is getting ready to submit a treatment for what Disney is going to put forward as the first cinematic subseries in the Star Wars EU franchise.

    Thought this was pretty neat. A fan-cut video that tells the story of the prequel trilogy better than the three films:

    Almost 9 hours of terrible cinema condensed into a few, better minutes.

    Good. He wasn't a good director.

    Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have mutually chosen to part ways on Star Wars: Episode IX. Colin has been a wonderful collaborator throughout the development process but we have all come to the conclusion that our visions for the project differ. We wish Colin the best and will be sharing more information about the film soon.

    Three of five new directors minimized, let go, or fired.
