World The Next Star Wars Movie After Rise Of Skywalker Will Be By Game Of Thrones Showrunners

[Closerframe]

Disney is really at a crossroads here and need to stop banking strictly on commercial success when picking creative minds to lead their SW films. Colin and now these two wack jobs, were picked only because of how lucky they got leading other franchises. Pick more people like JJ and Favreau, and get a creative mind who really understands the world and is excited to bring something new while also retaining the feel.

Also, you think Disney will leave a five year gap between TRoS and whatever they release next? They want to capitalize on film and television so you better believe they'll rush their backup plan.

I mentioned in the GOT forums it would be ironic if by rushing GOT to get to the star wars job they jeopardized that job by how badly they butchered the 8th season

called it lol

"Kevin Feige to produce a Star Wars movie."

*weeks later*

"B&B exit Star Wars trilogy."

simple as that hmmm Feige is coming of the best 2 years of the MCU and Red and Stimpy came from the worst 2 seasons of GOT and a horrific final 3 episodes
Yeah once Feige got announced them and Rian Johnson should have got the hints maybe were not on this team anymore

 

[X Knight]

if whatever new trilogy they come up with, I want them to wait awhile before pumping out a new movie (at least 5 years), and I want it set in a totally different time period. either go way back in time to the Old Republic (or before) or go way, way into the future.

I don't want it to be set around the Clone Wars or ANH or even right after the new films. I want a clean break from the saga of the Skywalkers, the Empire/First Order, the Rebels/Resistance, etc.

iow.......I want something new in a SW movie. I still want Jedi vs Sith or whatever you choose to call them, Light vs Dark, I just want an entirely new cast of characters in a new setting and timeline.

I can't even be happy about this because they still ruined Game of Thrones by rushing to their next bigger paycheck.

 

[NotNickFury]

Saw this coming right after GOT ended. No way was Bob Iger going to allow another divisive Star Wars movie, and that's what these guys would have brought to the project just by being attached to it, same with Rian Johnson.

Disney needs a sure thing to get the Star Wars brand out of perpetual divisiveness, that's why they brought in Fiege.

Well, they've got The Mandalorian.

they would never admit it but I bet they wish they taken HBO at there offer to do the 10 episodes for the last season now

I hope they started regretting that the minute the season 7 leaks happened.

Not sure why this means anything for Johnson. He strikes me as someone who could work with Feige. The other two have self inflated egos.

 

[Marvolo]

Oh God, thank God.

I bet Gemini Man being garbage was the straw that broke the camel's back.

and Johnson doesn't? He still won't admit that his Movie the TLJ divided the fans and the ones that truly despised the movie won't even consider watching another SW movie where he is involved

I'll bet that Feige trilogy or movie is the next after EP9
I may be wrong but I don't think Johnson gets to touch SW again

Its a PR nightmare bringing Johnson back. Get the Russos on Star Wars & promise them any MCU movie they wanna do problem solved

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Guess it’s time to close this thread lol

And no way in hell Lucasfilm will give that hack Rian Johnson his own trilogy unless they like to lose money. That guy did so much damage to Star Wars with that terrible TLJ movie

 

[MadVillainy]

Johnson's film won't happen. It'll very stupid for them to continue with them

I expect Johnson's trilogy to quietly disappear. Last Jedi was heavily divisive, not an attractive trait for a studio betting on a franchise, and was the starting point for a rough two years Star Wars has been having. Feige's movie feels to me like an attempt to regain brand confidence with a crowd-pleaser that will establish the series as having more mileage in it than the saga after the shake in confidence from Solo. I doubt they're willing to throw away potentially regaining confidence in their brand with a trilogy from a guy whose film has split the fandom so much.

Thank the Maker we might actually get a First Jedi story worth actually reading.

It's a scary thought that those two dip****s almost got to write the canon origin story of the Jedi.

 

[Boom]

On one hand, I do think people took things a bit too far with how Game of Thrones ended.

On the other hand, I was also incredibly disappointed by it, so I haven't lost a minute of sleep over this news.

they forgot about the sith just waiting there around the corner WHILE HAVING complete control of the skies

Yep, a hack whose new film is currently sitting at 99% on RT.

It's absolutely fine to not like TLJ, but calling him a hack is straight hyperbole. I swear, it's that kind of thing that divides SW fandom more than the content itself. And that can swing both ways to be fair.

Truthfully though, I like TLJ and would be curious what he could do with something brand new and not tied to the saga, but even I don't want to have to deal with the headaches that would result in him touching Star Wars again in the near future. Regardless though, whoever steps up to the plate had better have a very thick skin. Don't think some director you currently love and think would be a-mazing for Star Wars can't easily have people turn on them and get fandom menace'd for commiting some form of sacrilege in this environment. It's why people like Chris Mcquarrie have said that Star Wars used to be a dream project for them, but not anymore thanks to the "fans". You can bet there are others who feel the same.

Fiege's makes the most sense as the next project, and I'm all for it-- but that still doesn't answer the question of who is actually writing and directing.

Have you read some of the reviews? They’re pretty much praising the film because of its anti-Trump message and current political state we are in

I hate Trump. I think the man is a gigantic POS and should be out of office but this anti-Trump stance is already getting played up in Hollywood

Plus, Knives Out looks to be a ripoff of clue

So yes, I still think Rian Johnson is a hack

 

[BatLobster]

So calling a director you don't like a "hack" is what's dividing SW, but basically telling someone to shut up because the RT score is high, isn't?

Haha. So calling out a statement as hyperbolic is the same as telling them to shut up? I challenged the statement. Like his work or not, Johnson has more critical hits than misses. Him being a talentless hack is not a consensus opinion by any stretch, so to go there just feels like a reach. I'm not really a fan of Zack Snyder, but that doesn't mean I'd call him a hack. That's a cheap move. You can recognize that someone has talent and not enjoy their work at the same time. Is that too nuanced of a take for 2019? Oh well.

I don't know...to be honest I have yet to see a film that really captures the bitter divisiveness of the Trump era. I don't like being preached at when I'm at the movies, but Knives Out doesn't like look like that type of movie. It looks fun and satirical. And it's also roasting rich liberals according to Johnson himself, not just MAGAhats. In any event, I'm curious how the movie performs at the box office.

Again, you can not like his films. You can find his movies to be bad (I happen to have some issues with all of them...and yet I still like them, besides Brothers Bloom which I haven't seen). But generally speaking, "hacks" don't attract one of the best ensemble casts of a given year for their quirky little murder mystery film. Which btw, a murder mystery =/= Clue ripoff. It's just in the same niche genre.

Anyhow...again, I'm fine if Rian never touches SW again. For his sake, I think he'd be better off just leaving well enough alone. But LFL still has a bigger issue to address, and that is who is going to have the vision for and want to take on the responsibility for leading the future of Star Wars storytelling? Simply cowering to angry fans and trying not to upset anyone ultimately doesn't really get you where you need to go. We've seen what happened when DC tried to be reactionary and address fan complaints. They need to move forward with confidence and a willingness to take chances.

 

[Travesty]

Haha. So calling out a statement as hyperbolic is the same as telling them to shut up? I challenged the statement.

Oh jesus, seriously? You know you were getting all uppity and holier than thou about it. Yes, telling him he's wrong, with your so-called proof of RT, and then getting all melodramatic about how he's what's wrong with SW fandom, is a way of trying to shut someone up. You're trying to make an objective claim, to something that is clearly subjective in nature, while emphasizing how much better you are about it. That is a cheap move!

Is this too blunt for someone in 2019? Oh well....
