There are main franchies after which there’s Star Wars. With generations rising up on the galaxy far far-off (and streaming it with a Disney+ subscription), eyes are at all times on the upcoming Star Wars films and TV reveals which might be on their approach. Followers have been questioning for years about Rian Johnson’s trilogy of flicks, and the filmmaker just lately obtained sincere about whether or not or not we’ll ever really see them.
Johnson’s The Final Jedi was a subversive masterpiece in my view, which is why I have been hyped to see the Knives Out filmmaker return to the franchise. He is been busy with these whodunnits and Poker Face (which is streaming with a Peacock subscription), so there hasn’t been a lot information about his Star Wars enterprise. The director spoke to Rolling Stone and obtained sincere in regards to the chance of us really seeing that introduced trilogy. In his phrases:
Nothing actually occurred with it. We had a good time working collectively, they usually stated, ‘Let’s preserve doing it.’ I stated, ‘Nice!’ I might kick concepts round with Kathy. The brief model is Knives Out occurred. I went off and made Knives Out, and was off to the races, busy making homicide mysteries. It’s the form of factor if, down the road, there’s a possibility to do it, or do one thing else in Star Wars, I might be thrilled. However proper now I’m simply doing my very own stuff, and fairly comfortable.
Effectively, now I am bummed. Whereas Johnson nonetheless has curiosity in additional tasks inside George Lucas’ colourful galaxy, there are not any actual plans for that. As an alternative, the filmmaker is holding busy with unique IPs, together with the continuing Knives Out franchise (which is streaming with a Netflix subscription).
When Knives Out was an enormous success and the primary sequel Glass Onion was rapidly greenlighted and produced, followers like me puzzled how this would possibly affect Rian Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy. And it seems that my fears might need been warranted, as he is seemingly not transferring ahead with these films anytime quickly… if in any respect. Excuse me whereas I am going re-watch The Final Jedi for the millionth time.
The Star Wars franchise has been noticeably lacking from theaters since The Rise of Skywalker was launched again in 2019. Whereas the franchise has continued rising because of new reveals on Disney+, it needs to be fascinating to see if/when the beloved property returns to the massive display. We simply should not count on Rian Johnson to be the primary director to begin manufacturing.
Lucasfilm introduced a brand new trilogy of Star Wars films, together with Daisy Ridley’s return as Rey. None of these are coming from Rian Johnson, though their improvement continues to be early. As such, we should not count on any large display adventures on the 2025 film launch record. However that will not cease followers from holding out hope there is a Star Wars flick sooner quite than later.
