So what does this mean for the Future??


So after 3 very financially successful star wars movies Disney probably felt they achieved the marvel set up. Hence why they started announcing trilogy after trilogy and stand alone after stand alone.

Now after the Solo bomb what are they thinking over at both Disney and Lucas film? A different direction? Thoughts?

no solo sequel that's for damn certain

also maybe dial back on these standalones unless its something everyone seems to want (Obi Wan Movie? Darth Vader movie?) and best ditch the Rian trilogy too. so just finish Ep 9 and maybe Obi Wan then I dunno give it frickin rest for a few years

Yeah I bet they are scratching their heads right now. Episode 9 happens for sure. The game of thrones guys are doing their thing for sure. I bet Johnson still keeps at least his first movie going... he had a financially successful and critically acclaimed film and they loved working with him. Even if he maybe the reason for all the issues. The TV show is still happening no doubts there.

I suppose they could still pull the plug on the Fett stand alone.


I guess for me they have made 4 movies and only 1 has had a true star wars feel to it TFA. Rogue one had it's great moments for sure but as a whole it's not what was needed it was like a fan film in the star wars universe. Solo is good not great but good and it wasn't a star wars movie.

Star Wars needs space battles, Jedi, light sabers, the force, and powerful interesting antagonists. It seems like they are trying their best not to put those things in the movies which I can't understand... that's the meat and potatoes of star wars.

It's like making a Harry Potter movie but trying to limit magic and mythical creates and not having any wizards... So why are you making a Harry Potter movie?

I think all those grand plans will go on hold, not officially scrapped, but parked until IX. At that point whatever happens I think Kennedy is gone. Whatever way you look at it the production of nearly every single Disney Star Wars film has been troubled and half the fan base seems to be in open revolt and Star Wars should be a slam dunk, not a cluster fuck. If IX is successful she'll move on 'triumphant' (possibly promoted out of the way) and if it flops she'll be fired. Either way I think every project in the works will then be reassessed by whoever comes in. Hope Rian hasn't spent too long on his new scripts as there is no way he's getting a trilogy. Looking at TLJ drop off and Solo's disastrous opening it looks like his 'subversion' of Star Wars has cost Disney around $500M Dollars, give or take. If he's lucky he might get to write the forward for one of those wanky spin off novels but he's not going to be let anywhere near a Star Wars Movie again.

I guess we have part of the answer. Boba Fett and Obi are on hold. How long before Rian Johnson's trilogy get axed? Thoughts?
