Oof. I'm surprised there's not a lot of talk about this point yet.Quoting Peng (view post)
I can't believe they aren't even considering this now.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)

The one Star Wars movie Feige does, when it makes a billion dollars, Kennedy is out on the street.
Let Scorsese do it.
Could Johnson be taking over the GoT trilogy too?

Johnson added he is still in talks with Lucasfilm to make more Star Wars films, though had no news about them. “We’re still engaged with Lucasfilm and we’ll wait and see,” Johnson said. “No updates on it at this moment, but yeah.”Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
The way I see this, it's in developmental hell.
I thought they lost a ton of faith in Johnson when TLJ was so divisive.
For sure. There's been no announcement that his trilogy was dead in the water, but fairly sure it is.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Nah theyll listen to box office. So if JJs 2nd round is a rehash and doesn't blow the doors off the vault, Rian will be okay. If it isnt a rehash and succeeds, Rian will be okay. If its an obvious rehash and makes huge bank, Rian is out of the SW business.
These people don't give a shit about criticism.
The opposite. That Lucasfilm was so impressed by Johnson they gave him his own trilogy. They announced his trilogy before TLJ was released.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
But to your point, reception is everything. And the question is, is the divisiveness giving Lucasfilm second thoughts?
Benioff/Weiss' trilogy was apparently going to be about the beginning of the Jedi.
I'm thinking Kevin Feige's approach will be the new trilogy, and Disney+ keeps it to that and their TV shows for Mandalorian and Obi-Wan while they figure out if anything else is even needed.
That’s...exactly what I said.Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
That's... why I said "to your point".Quoting megladon8 (view post)
Rumor has it the Johnson Trilogy is canceled and Lucasfilm is waiting until after Rise of Skywalker is released to announce it. They don't want the negative press to hurt the film's performance.
Iger said publicly the films were "on hiatus" and that their focus is now on the TV shows: https://twitter.com/BrentALang/statu...61942436761603
Not sure what that exactly means for other trilogies, but yeah, a little more than just a rumor. They can keep Johnson in development hell for the next year or 2 and spin it any way they like once Dis+ is established.
ETA: Also I think it's hilarious they screened "Mandalorian" for fansites but not for critics.

The cycle of "new star wars movie test screenings are a DISASTER!!" clickbait is so tired. Do people have no memory? It's been this way since forever.
Can't wait for the spinoff series:

The Disney+ Android app doesn't appear to be compatible with my device. WTF?
They don't have a Roku app at all, as far as I can tell.
Like, wtf? Seriously? I wanted to stream "Mandalorian" as soon as this went live, binge it, and then quit the service.
I'm kinda surprised that Disney's usual level of product & quality control is literally non-existent.
If they dont have a Roku app, that will completely kill my chances of getting it. They HAVE to have a Roku app.
I just checked, it's on my Roku.
