What occurred to Rian Johnson’s Star Wars motion pictures? It was introduced shortly after his The Final Jedi got here out that Johnson would create his personal trilogy of Star Wars movies other than the primary Skywalker Saga. However then Johnson went off to do different issues — notably Knives Out, which then turned a complete sequence of Benoit Blanc thriller motion pictures — and Star Wars started to focus increasingly more on TV exhibits for Disney+ and fewer on big-screen spectacles.
Johnson has not given up hope that these different Star Wars motion pictures will come out, although. In a brand new interview with Empire he says they’re nonetheless on the desk, and he discusses them typically with Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy:
I’ve stayed near Kathleen [Kennedy] and we get collectively typically and speak about it … It’s simply at this level a matter of schedule and when it will possibly occur. It might break my coronary heart if I have been completed, if I couldn’t get again in that sandbox in some unspecified time in the future.
Within the years since its launch, The Final Jedi has been the topic of a (largely baffling) fan backlash, which might have one thing to do with the truth that these motion pictures by no means occurred. However Johnson and Lucasfilm are each very busy with different tasks as properly. I do marvel if some day Johnson’s trilogy of flicks will simply turn into an epic TV sequence for Disney+. That appears to be the way in which virtually every part within the Star Wars galaxy goes today; at the moment, we nonetheless don’t know definitively when the following Star Wars film will come out, or what its topic will likely be.
Within the meantime, Johnson’s new movie, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Thriller, premieres on Netflix on December 23.
