Noooooo, not Snitchberg.

Do I have any at all reason to think this will be good?

Wouldn't this just be the new Rey trilogy?

ya **** Simon Kinberg aka the guy who failed to do Dark Phoenix justice twice

Probably. It might be "the Rey movie" quietly just morphs into the first one of this, minus that horrible, horrible director.

I haven‘t watched anything Star Wars related since Rogue One and I plan to keep it that way. I might watch the original trilogy with my kids later this year for the first time. But anything post 80s? No, thanks.

I’m sure you know this, but you’ve saved your self from a world of hurt. At least as far as theatrical releases go. I’ve heard mixed stuff about the D+ shows.

I don't know why they are rushing these so soon. They should wait till Daisy Ridley is like 35-40 until they do something with her again.

Like the last movie came out as recently as 2019...

Technically theres 10 movies in development, this ain't counting the trilogies as separate movies or else it's like 16. It's worse than the old DCEU announced movies at this point
I think the fate of all of them depend on the Mandalorian and Groggu movie.
I think the Mandalorian finale movie will still happen regardless as will one Rey movie at least. The rest it really depends on how everything else goes. So let's make sure not to watch any of them. I haven't watched any Star Wars content since Episode IX. And I only saw IX because kid me would've wanted to finish the trilogy.
The Rey movie is independent from Episode X.

Yeah I'd say they slightly re-purpose whatever assets they had going towards the original intent for that Rey trilogy (even if it's only a script plot outline or something - whatever they had). They will evolve from that.

Whatever form these films will take, it won't be with Kathleen Kennedy it seems. Fans get their long-desired wish at the close of '25.

Too late the damage has already been done. Hopefully it's true since the Hollywood Reporter is covering this.

If it's true, the hope will of course be that it'll happen in time to kill the Rey movie and trilogy. I'm not at all against them doing a proper Episode X-XII with Rey in some manner, but you just can't do it with a Pakistani activist director who's only ever directed activism documentaries. And you can't do it with Snitchberg either.

Episode X officially greenlit

Jon Watts (MCU's Spider-Man "Home" Trilogy, Skeleton Crew) will direct from the script by Kinberg. It will launch the new Skywalker trilogy. Daisy Ridley will appear in some capacity as Rey

How can you have a new "Skywalker Trilogy" when all the Skywalkers are dead?

Haven’t they done enough damage to the skywalker legacy.

If we get an episode X I would likely see it just because of how much I loved Episodes 1-6 as a kid. But I can't see how these movies won't just do worse with each entry Ep X would likely not even break a billion, and each one would just do worse. Disney really did kill the brand.

For a wishlist would be to somehow have a logical retcon that Rey is somehow indeed a real skywalker and not a palpatine, and for it to adapt some of the ideas Lucas had for episodes 7-9. I've mentioned before that I think the actual episodes 7-9 could likely be edited by fans to be one movie that works more of an epilogue of episode 6. since everything that happens in those movies is just a rehash of 4-6, if episode X starts how episode 7 should've been with a new cast of characters which is the new jedi academy or whatever and go on adventures from there. Sucks we lost the legacy characters but a movie with a fresh cast where Rey and Finn are Jedi of a new more interesting cast doing something new could be interesting.

Watts was a very good director, but some off Simon Kinberg's scripts have been very bad over the years.

I don't think there's an audience for a new trilogy. After what they did with the last one everyone is long gone.

So are they doing this because they actually think it's a good idea or because they have to in some sense?

They have to eventually make new and good stories that move things forward, particulalry BECAUSE the last trilogy was so sh**. When you're watching any random new Star Wars project you know that no matter what, everything ends up with the ST, then that's not workable.

Of course, I don't think Snitchberg is the guy to write any of this stuff. But the general idea is sound. And inevitable.

They can't even appropriately retcon the sequel trilogy given that they killed off Han & Luke and then of course Fisher is gone in real life, sooo....

Talk about the absolute ruining of a franchise without any way back.

By the way, what are we gonna call this? The Second Sequel Trilogy? Sequel Trilogy 2.0? The Sequel Trilogy to the Sequel Trilogy? The Squared Sequel Trilogy?

So just use A.I

:P

Yeah I haven’t watched a single minute of anything Star Wars since Last Jedi. Sad!

They're doing this way too soon, the last movie came out as recently as 2019. I did expect Episode X eventually but I thought they would wait till Rey's actress was like middle age or something (or at least 40) to do it.

Why they doing it so soon when its only been 6 years later? Makes no sense. Wait till Rey is 35-40+ at least.

2019? If we're arbitrarily following what's considered the "main series" of Star Wars movies, then that is true. Although, we got a new Star Wars movie less than half a year ago, doesn't really matter that it was cobbled together from TV scripts and didn't... What do we even use to classify a movie as part of the main series? A title crawl with a roman numeral at the top?

That's actually a sad way to go out too.... because The Mandalorian stuff, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan were all pretty good. Not without flaws, but pretty good.

I don't doubt you, but it just literally sucked all the joy out of it for me. I haven't gone back to anything. No movies, games, comics, books, cartoons, nothing.

The only way I see me ever going back is if my kid gets into it one day, but I sure as hell ain't introducing him to it. It's hard enough being a TMNT fan :lol:

Nothing says they can't have her play older than she is.

Same here. They killed my interest for eveything Star Wars related.

For me it's somewhat different, I guess.

Now, there is still nothing magical about a new Star Wars movie now for me, of course. That said, after the ST kind of killed Star Wars for me, at that point is when I actually started watching all of the Clone Wars and Rebels animated shows. As I was getting into the middle of marathoning it all... I dunno, that sort of "brought Star Wars back" for me in some way, as there is good stuff in there. And then Ahsoka dropped right as I finished Rebels, so it was like all the cartoons I'd just finished were paying off in big ways in live action, so that was cool and satisfying.

So yeah. Depending on how great Ahsoka season 2 is there might be further damage control done with me.

I realise your post is 2 years old, but she turns 35 this coming April. Just as Palpetine, you have foreseen it!

I don't understand how Simon Kinberg keeps work in Hollywood post Dark Pheonix. He must have Kompromat on someone at Disney/Lucasfilm.
