>Rian Johnson's Star Wars Trilogy Officially Dead
Star Wars sisters, not like this. He was supposed to save this franchise

>>212702676 (OP)
I can't believe it's taken almost 8 years for him and Disney to finally admit what everyone already knew.

>>212702744
They always knew, they just didn't want to admit another defeat

>>212702744
it was probably more like 4 or 6 years of Maybes of possible projects either downsizing it to be a tv series or 1 movie before they abandoned it and all the other star wars projects. It really depends on how that mandalor movie does now.

>>212703168
What is the poitn to any of this? All these series don't change the status quo and it's just spinning wheels. It's not like it's a longform TV show with like 5 seasons you can get invested in. It's just endless mini-series. And it's all tripe.

>>212703168
>KOTOR
Guarantee you when that inevitably makes gangbusters, Disney is gonna stop ignoring that era and do a hard shift to constantly promoting it. Expect KOTOR 3 with the main writers coming back. No way are they gonna screw up that goldmine.

>>212703353
>No way are they gonna screw up that goldmine.
They had Leia, Luke and Han primed for a reunion and they screwed *that* up. So yeah they can screw up anything at this point. Shan't be watching.

>>212703246
they really went all in with the tv series stuff Netflix series? streaming series
with the marvel stuff and then that was not as profitable as they would have liked I still don't know if it really made them any money.

>trash the prequels with your friends in college
>go on to make the most universally hated Star Wars movie ever while the prequels are adored
karma

>>212703515
No, D+ has been a huge multi-billion dollar money sink. They're not beating Netflix.

Disney and the other studios should have just bogught 20% of netflix each and used it and Hulu as their platforms to distribute their material.

>>212703246
they have to be extracting value from the license but everyone is terrified to seriously fail with it again, so they do expensive showpieces with it that are protected from real judgement like outright kid's shows or stuff with generic prestige TV writing.

>>212703168
For me, it's Droid Story

>>212702676 (OP)
HAHA
>Next is Superman continuations

>>212702676 (OP)
so rian let fans worry in despair when he could have told us all this time???

>>212703718
The Sequels and Prequels are both shit.

>>212702676 (OP)
>Officially
Wasn't that already Official after Rise of Skywalker?

>No way are they gonna screw up that goldmine.
Just like there was no way Disney would screw up one of the biggest media franchises of all time?

>>212703168
How much of this shit has been canceled?

>>212702676 (OP)
>no outline or treatment or anything

so the same as the last jedi, no plan for anything with nowhere to go.

>>212702676 (OP)
Good, this fucker ruined Star Wars.

>>212704205
I could see it being like Wall-E

>>212702676 (OP)
>zero ideas or outline
>3 movies announced anyway

Lucasfilm is a bunch of stupid women who don't like movies or money larping

>>212705796
The new "prequels" like andor and mandolorian do.

>>212703353
The KOTOR remake is dead, my friend.

>>212702676 (OP)
Yeah no shit, they only announced it to promote TLJ, which everyone fucking hated

>>212702676 (OP)
That's a real shame, TLJ was the only good film of the sequels. But the Star Wars fanbase is overrun by 12 year old Indians who feel threatened by good storytelling. I hope you all fucking die.

>>212702676 (OP)
>I'm not gonna start work on a story, until I'm being paid, not even an outline
Well Disney, this is why your company is going to hell in a handbasket. You lost the plot. And the sad thing is, it was your choice.

>>212702676 (OP)
Star Wars fans deserve death.

>>212703353
Ten years ago everyone would have called you crazy if you said a Star Wars movie would bomb at the box office then Solo happened. Disney killed the golden goose.

To be honest with you guys, part of the reason I had this mentality of “they can’t afford to fuck it up” has to do with exactly the way they handled the franchise. Like I thought that maybe after enough humiliations and failures they’d come to the conclusion they should handle the franchise with more care than just
>oh shit I spent 4 billion on Star Wars and NEED an immediate ROI to appease shareholders no time to plan
KOTOR to me, represents a “proven” blank slate they can milk.
>ST is hated
>OT content is tainted partially by the ST
>PT content hasn’t seen any major losses, but no major victories either. Too much of it has been filled anyway.
>High republic is a meme that died on arrival
And KOTOR is the one era that
>Has proven success
>Is already mostly completed
>Has tons of fan desire
>Critical acclaim
>Tons of mileage for content
It’s not so much optimism as it is they literally don’t have any other choice but to get it right. I guess that’s also why they’re hesitant to touch it to begin with.

Meh, boring results. At the end of the day, disney won since money is irrelevant as long as white men has nothing to enjoy, the rest is anecdotal and easily taxed off.

>>212709539
the last good starwars movie was in 1983
everything since is like being held underwater with the odd good moment like being allowed up for a moment to breathe
starwars fans are already in hell

>>212702676 (OP)
what do you expect
his Snoke theory sucked

>>212702676 (OP)
so he just spoke about it while getting rammed on the casting couch and he thoughts it was in the bag? didn't even outline a basic skeleton?

oh no

>>212709228
>TLJ was the only good film of the sequels
Kill yourself

>>212705900
Pretty sure they were still pretending it was happening as recently as last year.

>>212702676 (OP)
great but everybody kind of already knew it. however Rian may have saved Star Wars in the long term. he opened causals and some dick riders eyes to what Disney was taking the franchise.

thanks Rian your movie was so shit it really opened eyes, and may eventually save the franchise.

>spend 6 years saying "it's coming" to "own" the star wars fans

there's even more than this but that's enough now

>>212706770
The main Droid would be an R2D2 model with some distinguishing mark to make it not THE R2D2, and there would be tons of new cutesy droids trying their damnedest to be the next Grogu.
>Z33-N aka Zeenie mst be protected at all costs! Buy your Zeenie Funko Pop today, all you diehard Zeeniebeanies!

>>212702744
I find it especially ironic that they probably would have admitted they scrapped it long before had they not been so thoroughly in denial about TLJ being hated.
it being used as a confidence ploy that they couldn't walk back was a wonderful display of hubris

>>212702676 (OP)
the movies not happening was clear for all involved by 2019 at the latest:
>The short version is ‘Knives Out’ happened. I went off and made ‘Knives Out,’ and was off to the races, busy making murder mysteries.
amazing

>>212703515
>I still don't know if it really made them any money.
Streaming isn't profitable so nah.
