MajorZuma Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 A brand new trilogy has just been announced by Disney. In the announcement they stated Rian Johnson will head the new trilogy and it will star brand new characters in a relatively untouched section of the galaxy lore-wise. It also seemed liked they were so impressed with how he did on the Last Jedi that that was the reason why he was chosen to direct. I'm excited lol, it came out of nowhere and it was totally unexpected but hey, I'm all for Brand New Characters and Rian Johnson. He is a good director imo and he is also a Star Wars Nerd. Thoughts?

DarthDymond Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) For the most part, I'm withholding judgment for now until more details start coming out, but I will say I'm more intrigued by this news than I am by the upcoming Han Solo movie or Obi-Wan move. If Disney has this much faith in him, then I think it is also a promising indication for Last Jedi. Edited November 9, 2017 by DarthDymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phalczen Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 I guess that explains why he wasn't offered the Episode 9 job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorZuma Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Also a live-action series has been announced for 2019. I hope Dave Filoni is some sort of creative influence on the new series as I think Clone Wars and Rebels are fantastic. I think he has a perfect sense of balance in terms of having brand new stories as well as references to the Movies and EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shatterdjedi Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Well, I certainly did not expect this. I find this kind of exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabethchase Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Given what's been removed from cannon, we could be looking at a Mandalorian or Bounty Hunter themed trilogy. People keep throwing this idea out there and it never actually happens. Personally, I'd much rather have a Jedi Academy type trilogy, but that seems very unlike this premise.

Good job there with the links:) Guys as a service to each other can we post links to the sources of our findings in the future. Being able to review a news from a genuine source, and being source critical, not only gives the individual a chance to investigate the news further, but it is critical skill for viewing any news, to distinguish it from real, some what real or just "Fake News". "Never before touched Star Wars Lore"!!!? We need a definition of that. Is it from a Disney Star Wars Lore point of view, OR is it from a EU Star Wars Lore point of view!? EDIT; Wait, did those guys say that a live action Star Wars TV-series was confirmed by Disney? This is what I mean guys, we can't just Blur out stuff like that without Sources Edited November 10, 2017 by t-darko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NagaShadowT Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Between Brick and Looper, Rian Johnson's storytelling abilities are phenomenal. If anyone's going to start a new trilogy dealing with material that has never been seen before, I'm glad it's him. That's long-term potential. The short-term is this: If they're already happy to just hand him the reigns to a new trilogy, imagine about confident the must be in The Last Jedi?

DarthDymond Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 There's a nice little piece over on Nerdist.com making the case for setting the new trilogy in the Old Republic era (or, alternatively, hundreds of years after Ep. IX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also use this forum from my phone so its not as easy for me to post links. Apparently it was all announced during the companies quarterly earnings report a long with other announcements like a Disney streaming service that'll Have all Disney entertainment by 2019.

Leklor Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Heh, I hope it's not a KOTOR movie trilogy. I just don't see it working well. Remember the outrage at Canon Revan? And beyond that, how do you tell the story? Do you start with the game's beginning, knowing full well that seconds after you've confirmed the movie is based on KOTOR it will get spoiled to hell and back? Or do you start with the story of Revan's fall, therefore removing the twist entirely? Do you adapt every planet's story and if yes, how? And that's just a minuscule amount of the questions one must answers before making a KOTOR movie trilogy. I'd much rather see a full remake of KOTOR with today's tech (It'll most likely be an action-RPG but if that's the price). And if the movie has to be set in the Old Republic era, make it about the stories before that (Golden Age, Exar Kun, Ulic's Redemption. Or similar arcs with new characters) or concurrent (Zayne Carrick's story would be excellent on-screen) But no Revan Trilogy, pretty please. Just make a new game.

I pray im wrong... Ashur As long as it's not "Doctor Who Series 10" level of "Current Year Political Commentary", it's should be alright. Every Star Wars movie has had political commentary in it in some form. Seriously, as long as you don't have a British woman complaining about an "orange" president she didn't vote for when England has no president and the POTUS in Doctor Who appeared in the previous episode and definitely isn't said orange politician....

It's just frustrating, I have a few days work stretched to max and that's when the great news arrives . . . when it comes to SW news I only consider starwars.com as a reliable source of information. But I do appreciate any heads up tho . . . I still read paper news imagine the rest:cool: Edited November 13, 2017 by t-darko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenitsubasaChiyo Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I hope Mark Griskey will be the one who writes music for the new trilogy. He's by far the best John Williams imitator out there. It would only be fair if he took up the torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
