What occurred to Rian Johnson’s Star Wars films? It was introduced shortly after his The Final Jedi got here out that Johnson would create his personal trilogy of Star Wars movies other than the principle Skywalker Saga. However then Johnson went off to do different issues — notably Knives Out, which then turned an entire sequence of Benoit Blanc thriller films — and Star Wars started to focus increasingly more on TV reveals for Disney+ and fewer on big-screen spectacles.
Johnson has not given up hope that these different Star Wars films will come out, although. In a brand new interview with Empire he says they’re nonetheless on the desk, and he discusses them typically with Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy:
I’ve stayed near Kathleen [Kennedy] and we get collectively typically and speak about it … It’s simply at this level a matter of schedule and when it may occur. It will break my coronary heart if I had been completed, if I couldn’t get again in that sandbox in some unspecified time in the future.
Within the years since its launch, The Final Jedi has been the topic of a (principally baffling) fan backlash, which might have one thing to do with the truth that these films by no means occurred. However Johnson and Lucasfilm are each very busy with different initiatives as effectively. I do marvel if some day Johnson’s trilogy of flicks will simply change into an epic TV sequence for Disney+. That appears to be the best way nearly every part within the Star Wars galaxy goes lately; at present, we nonetheless don’t know definitively when the subsequent Star Wars film will come out, or what its topic will likely be.
Within the meantime, Johnson’s new movie, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Thriller, premieres on Netflix on December 23.
