Rian Johnson directing all new Star Wars Trilogy

*Autbot_Benz* · 11-09-2017, 03:00 PM

For director Rian Johnson, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was just the beginning of his journey in a galaxy far, far away.

Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Johnson will create a brand-new Star Wars trilogy, the first of which he is also set to write and direct, with longtime collaborator Ram Bergman onboard to produce.

As writer-director of The Last Jedi, Johnson conceived and realized a powerful film of which Lucasfilm and Disney are immensely proud. In shepherding this new trilogy, which is separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored.

“We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.”

“We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on The Last Jedi,” Johnson and Bergman said in a joint statement. “Star Wars is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.”

Johnson’s upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in U.S. theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.

No release dates have been set for the new films, and no porgs were available for comment.

What. Looks like the Star Wars movies will never end.

By the time even the first movie of this new trilogy comes out, which obviously won't be till after 2020, most people will be burned out.

Episode Nine is still a few years away and it already seems like Lucasfilm are bored of their current model

2021: Johnson Saga 1
2022: New Stand-alone
2023: Johnson Saga 2
2024: New Stand-alone
2025: Johnson Saga 3
2026: New Stand-alone

This is sad because it's exactly what's happening.
