Kathleen Kennedy confirms whilst Rian Johnson’s STAR WARS trilogy is still in the works, it is on the back-burner.

“Rian has been unbelievably busy with Knives Out and the deal that he made at Netflix for multiple movies.”

I think it was canned after Solo and rise of skywalker bombed. ok with me, it would have been terrible anyways.

Being on the "back-burner" does NOT, NOT mean it is "officially scrapped". Unless Ruin Johnson dies, this awful idea of a Star Wars trilogy helmed by him WILL come back to bite us all in the ass, be it a few years or a few decades.

Why Johnson? The Last Jedi was terrible and made zero sense even if you only watched The Force Awakens

I remember Dave & Dan over at Game of Thrones rushed Seasons 7 & 8 just so they could get to work on Star Wars. History may never forgive them for that travesty.
