So with how the reception and box office went down a lot with TLJ and TROSW i am wondering what do you think Disney will do next when it comes to star wars movies? Do you think they will do episode 10 next? A knights of the old republic, a sith origin movie? Some thing completely different?
I think they're gonna slow down ,re-organize, and plan. They'll do what lots of studios do after their most recent franchise film or films polarize the audience and fans, or perform below the studios's expectations.
They're going to listen to the criticisms( at this point , they're really shouldn't be anymore doubts that
they are listening ) and regroup.
Regardless of the SW fans who think "nothing is wrong" and those who think that " everything is wrong", its clear Iger and Kennedy feel "something" is wrong , otherwise they wouldn't be making the statements they are. They're basically telegraphing that they plan to change things.
I'm skeptical that they'll end up with a new film for 2022. I suspect when Iger talked about "taking a break" he didn't mean 3 years. That's not really taking a break since that's the about average between most franchise sequels anyway.
I frankly wouldn't be surprised some of the planned films end up as Disney plus+ while they'll likely be much more cautious and conservative when it comes to approving filmmakers and scripts.
I think they'll be less likely to go to the "Hip director/writer" of the moment, but instead, go with people who truly share whatever vision Lucasfilm has.
In other words, they'll stay away from the director/writer driven model ,which they've tried, and instead go to filmmakers who are on the same page, and who know how to operate within the parameters set by Lucasfilm and Disney.
