Rian Johnsonin oma Star Wars -trilogia on jäissä

Mihin Star Wars oikein aikoo jatkossa suunnata? Kantaa on ottanut Lucasfilmin iso pomo Kathleen Kennedy Vanity Fairin haastattelussa.

Pelätty ja kauhisteltu Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedin ohjaaja Rian Johnsonin Star Wars -trilogia on toistaiseksi jäissä, sillä ohjaajalla on muita kiireitä. Sen sijaan etusijalla on Taika Waititin Star Wars -elokuva, ja myöhemmin sitten Patty Jenkinsin Rogue Squadron.

"We have a road map," Kennedy says, although Lucasfilm's big-screen return is unlikely to follow the same relentless cadence as before. A movie from Jojo Rabbit's Taika Waititi and 1917 screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns will likely arrive first, with Rogue Squadron from Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins further off. Is it true that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige will produce a Star Wars film? "I would love to see what movie he might come up with," Kennedy says. "But right now, no, there isn't anything specifically." And the trilogy from The Last Jedi's Rian Johnson that was announced five years ago? Back-burnered. "Rian has been unbelievably busy with Knives Out and the deal that he made at Netflix for multiple movies."

Tom Hollandin tähdittämän Spider-Man-kolmikon ohjannut Jon Watts on uuden Star Wars -sarjan kimpussa. Koodinimenä on Grammar Rodeo, joka sijoittuu The Mandalorianin kanssa samoihin aikoihin.
