Rian Johnson Teases New Trilogy Again

comicbook.com/starwars/2018/01/17/star-wars-rian-johnson-new-trilogy-the-last-jedi/

>"As we got to the end of Episode VIII, we had a great time working with [Lucasfilm president] Kathy [Kennedy] and with Disney and we kind of said, 'How can we keep this party going? How can we keep working together?'" Johnson revealed at a recent Q&A. "And I kind of threw out there, like the most interesting thing to me would be to tell a new story told over three movies where we go someplace else. And we go, kind of the potential of like a wide-open blue sky of, let's go to a different part of the galaxy. Maybe a different time. I don't know."

>With The Last Jedi only now being in theaters and with Episode IX slated for release in 2019, these new films are merely a blip on the horizon. All Johnson seems to know for sure is to expect the unexpected.

>"Let's meet some new characters and let's figure out what Star Wars means separated from some of the iconography that we've associated it with," Johnson shared. "Let's take it someplace else and see what that would be like. That just seemed like a really interesting question to ask."

>The filmmaker's instincts seemingly tell him to explore new territory, yet he didn't completely rule out the possibility of incorporating familiar characters.

>"I'm just starting to think about it, and get into, so who knows?" Johnson told Yahoo!. "I want to keep it just totally wide open in terms of possibilities. That's what's so exciting about it right now, just the notion of one story, three movies, the sky's the limit. We can really do anything. The possibilities are thrilling."

>Johnson was even questioned about whether this new trilogy could bring back Jar Jar Binks, which he didn't rule out.

>"I would be down with bringing old Jar Jar back — we'll see," he joked.

Well Sup Forums after TLJ do his idea sound promising?

Is he hiring a writer? he's an astounding visual director but his writing is fan fiction level.

um he has someone better sweetie :^)

>he's an astounding visual director

it's amazing how little accountability there is at Disney
They really do always double down

>he's an astounding visual director

I just hope he doubles down on the coffin nails

The hyper speed ramming looked cool, even if it was narratively retarded. Both in lore and in basic thematic structure of the rest of the narrative.

Not him, but visually TLJ was good. Just not good for a Star Wars film. The Luke among the walkers felt like something out of a Snyder film.

checked
what am i looking at

>I have absolutely no concrete ideas at the moment

Yes, very promising.

Rian please bring back jar jar

Nah m8, it wasn't good, not as a Star Wars film or any fucking movie at all. It was a bad movie, no matter the branding. Just some nice animation doesn't make a good movie if the script already would make you puke.

>It felt like something out of a Snyder film
That's not a good thing

Nobody said it was a good movie, reread what you responded to. Said it was good visually.

Who's ready for Rose to get her own trilogy?

>Rian Johnson Teases Where His New Star Wars Trilogy Is Going

"The trash"

This hack is actually keeping the trilogy? Well that subverted my expectations

Rian was sent by George to destroy the franchise and cement his legacy once and for all. His longtime friends Ron Howard (Han Solo) and Steven Spielberg (upcoming Indiana Jones movie) have also infiltrated the Disney operation.

>Rian - I want to make something like the prequels. Not in time but more in the horror of the idea of doing the worst things over again and making them worse.

>"And I kind of threw out there, like the most interesting thing to me would be to tell a new story told over three movies where we go someplace else. And we go, kind of the potential of like a wide-open blue sky of, let's go to a different part of the galaxy. Maybe a different time. I don't know."

For real though this guy sounds like a pretentious hack. The prequel trilogy exists separating itself from the iconography, having a new distinct era, characters, everything. Whether it was good or not is irrelevant. Not to mention the entire fucking EU. Does Rian really believe that his half assed idea is some sort of breakthrough notion that nobody has thought of before?

Abraham Lincoln

his narcissism gave him the strength to introduce hyperspace tracking and hyperspace kamikaze to Star Wars

STAR WARS: EPISODE BROOM KID

>lore
Han says in the first movie it'll fuck you up if you hit something at light speed. There's no reason to think it won't fuck up the thing you hit as well.

>narcissism
I guess that's all we need to know. I mean he LITERALLY just described the prequels and EU, but he's saying this like it's never been done before and he's the only one thinking of the possibilities. Fuck I can't imagine working with someone so delusional.

>1977
Welp that confirms it. Thanks a lot disney.

...

>BROOM KID
I forgot about this character until you mentioned him again. Why did they keep showing him over and over?

goddamn do i not want him making any more star wars

>yet he didn't completely rule out the possibility of incorporating familiar characters.

FUCK

Desperately trying to get children interested in Soy Wars. Look, you could be a Jedi too!

There is plenty of reason to think the thing you hit wont get fucked up because you never see hyperspace missiles or such kamikaze tactics at all prior to TLJ.

Remember how in the old movies force powers came as a byproduct of a connection with the universe cultivated by meditation and training, with Luke needing intense training with Yoda in order to use telekinesis without great effort?

Nvm lol, it's just superpowers now. Broomboi and Rey are just that super special!

The prequels moved the story back a generation, and basically existed to expand a few lines of exposition from the first trilogy. It's not separate from it at all.

here is the new Rian trilogy

Star Wars Luke
Star Wars Luuke
Star Wars Luuuke
Star Wars Luuke Revelations: The Bigger Luke

...

This guy think this is still happening after his flick bombed?

he literally wants to make something that isn't Star Wars, but label it Star Wars

What do you think is going to happen if something traveling extremely fast hits something else?

The only reason this cunt got a whole trilogy is because he said yes to everything KK wanted.
JJ will probably get another movie too.

So you are saying that he is trying to subvert our expectations on what a star war movie is?

I've given up on star wars so you can go eat a thousand dicks. Hollywood Jews are destroying my childhood so I guess it's time to just move on.

That's what the Prequels were and you faggots love them now. I'd rather him go fuck off in his own trilogy that I don't have to watch than have him fuck up OT characters again.

He's going to have BB-8, Chewie, and Rose with her young black son travel to the far end of the galaxy to stop a rebellion outpost from fighting back and instead just give them all a big sloppy kiss

I hate this idea so much

You were expecting a well-written plot?
>GOOD. We subverted the expectations
You were expecting likeable characters?
>GOOD. We subverted the expections
You weren't expecting a 2.5 hour political propaganda piece?
>GOOD

There is no country for old men.

My Star Wars was destroyed by the prequels. Now theres an entire generation that grew up on it that love them.

People like Rian Johnson are killing your star wars now.

Everything you love will be killed.

lol yeah right, Star Wars without

>Jedi
>Tie Fighters Xwings
>Stormtroopers
>Millenium Falcon
>Wookies
>Imperial Walkers
>Light Sabers
>Desert planet
>Foresent planet
>Superweapon

Any Star Wars story is going to contain one or more of these elements, to pretend otherwise is a fools errand

Fuck up nigga

>Prequels weren't Star Wars
oh fuck right off, they were excessively Star Wars

Gonna have to slap a word on this. I actually don't hate the new movies as much as most people who grew up on the prequels instead of the original trilogy. My expectations were already so low after the beat-down GL gave older fans in the 90s and early 2000s

I understand why OT fans hated the prequels. But the sequels are just terrible movies standing alone. It's not just about them changing things about star wars. They are just bad. Completely pointless characters, plot lines that go absolutely nowhere, riddled with plot holes and things that just make zero sense, not a single cool battle or ship/character design. It's just bad, plain and simple.

Just let it go. It's dead.

As a nearly 40 year old man, all I can say is ive felt this raw sickness when watching a star wars movie only once before.... when I saw the phantom menace on opening night.

Why can't these numales connect on a brotherly level?

Eh, I thought the lightsaber battle between Rey and Kylo was pretty well-choreographed, and Kylo was pretty interesting, so long as you don't think about his role in TLJ too much.

>astounding visual director

Rian Johnson is in the stupid camp and interprets the Force as a binary system of yin and yang that must always be in balance and not in the patrician camp that believes the Force is inherently good.
He can go fuck himself for all I care.

>I don't watch anything but capeshit

but thats really boring

This. Only it's not just "nerd camps", it's very deliberate. Those two interpretation literally represent well-defined political factions that are currently battling for mankind's soul.

>Han says in the first movie it'll fuck you up if you hit something at light speed.

No, he says that it requires precise calculations or else you'll end up inside a star. Hyperspace is not just going really fast. If it was then it would be pointless because people would constantly die if there happened to be an asteroid or a piece of space debris in the way.

Imagine being enough of a pleb to ever like Star Wars

Hyperdrive isn't lightspeed seeing as how it doesn't take them years to reach other planets.
The only movie hyperdrive is referred to as lightspeed is A New Hope.
Why did no one else think of using lightspeed as a weapon in the Star Wars universe?
How was the Death Star ever a threat when you could just slap a lightspeed thruster on an asteroid and launch it towards the battle station?
Why do they still use torpedoes and lasers when they could literally just launch trash at lightspeed at their opponents?

>I don't know
There, you got it
I know where his new star wars trilogy is going and it's in the trashcan

either never had real friends or a normal male rolemodel

When did you realize it wasn't gonna be like the old ones? The opening crawl? I saw the prequels at a young enough age that I can't really imagine what it must have been like seeing Jar Jar and the Home Alone hijinks of Anakin in the finale for the first time as an adult.

They're same oestrogen filled cunts that anytime they do witness male bonding, or male friendships they make snide articles on buzzfeed

>How Boromir dying in Aragon's arms was the greatest lover's separation ever

>Stop pretending Frodo and Sam were not gay, homophobes

This, brotherhood and camaraderie is impossible for low-test men to comprehend

I too saw it on opening night and I realized as soon as the trade aliens started speaking. They just talked so much and it was all shit, and their asian accents were so hokey and stupid. The next step down was the pod race, because the announcer was so cartoonish and out of place, with his cornball american accent. He should have been speaking alien, with only the names and the reaction of the crowd to let you know what he was saying.

i dont know why but from what i read this sounds like the new trilogy will be set in the future.
like maybe 200 years from episode VI or so.

So... In the present? Is this motherfucker leading us to a GotG crossover scenario?

It's like that in literary academia too. If there's any affection between two male characters it must mean they want to tear up each other's asses.
The LotR stuff is especially ridiculous seeing as Tolkien was an exceptionally traditional Catholic.

>"Let's take it someplace else and see what that would be like. That just seemed like a really interesting question to ask."

Sounds great. We've all wanted to see some Extended Universe stuff that isn't explicitly about Skywalker saga.

>"...let's figure out what Star Wars means separated from some of the iconography that we've associated it with,"

Oh. OH. Suberting expectations. Got it.


It's going to be shit.

>Johnson: I want to direct three whole movies in this franchise
>Kennedy: Sure, whatever, the film you're supposed to make hasn't even been released yet but I have no problem signing away billions of dollars and a decade's worth of movies to you. Incidentally, what ideas do you have which make you think you could make an interesting trilogy?
>Johnson: dude i dunno I haven't even thought about it haha
- 1 year later -
>Johnson: dude i still dont have any ideas haha

I got to go to the Premier in London with my boss.

I didn't hate it... I was just so confused.

A guy at work said,how was the film? those fish aliens (trade federation looked cool)

>Yeah but... they talk like someone putting on a japanese accent (do impression)
>Bull fucking shit

when he saw it a few days later he was horrified

maybe? and in the end of the last movie all the un-forcesensitive people end up on earth and thats how humans came to be.

plottwist.

There was absoutely nothing in his resume suggesting he should have been writing or directing a Star Wars movie - and The Last Jedi completely confirmed it was a terrible choice.

And they want to give him THREE more movies?

Fuck it - why not just hire Josh Trank back.

>Rian pitched an idea to us for three new films and we snapped it up!

>What's it about?

>Well, nothing. Maybe it will have something to do with some stuff in Star Wars. Maybe not. Isn't that exciting!

Fuck me Kennedy is a drooling retard.

The crawl was weird yeah, and I remember as the movie went on my brain kept trying to adjust to all the contrary things that broke the universe that I had known.I think the ultimate sadness was when Quigon explained that the force was midiclorians. Even still I tried to convince myself it was awesome.

I remember that when I went home that night and looked at my entire bedroom decorated with figures and my love for star wars... I felt like an idiot for the first time.

Any day now:
>BREAKING: Rian Johnson's new Star Wars trilogy "on hold" indefinitely
>Kathleen Kennedy DEFINITELY still wants to go through with the project, but Lucasfilm has too many other projects to prioritize before Johnson will be able to move ahead with his trilogy

>let's figure out what Star Wars means separated from some of the iconography that we've associated it with

He says that as if it's some Voynich Manuscript mystery and not something that could be easily gleamed by simply watching the OT, though clearly he's proven through TLJ that he has no hope of getting it.

It's mind boggling.

Disney said he had pitched a new idea for three movies.

>So yeah, get this we open in deep space. Stuff happens. I don't know what, but it could literally be anything. Could be the best thing ever. I don't know. The point is, this is going to be great. Let's go on a journey together and find out what that is

This is literally Tony Robbins tier sales pitch babble.

>It's going to be brand new. Something completely different. It may or may not have the same characters in it. I don't know.

>"I'm just starting to think about it, and get into, so who knows?" Johnson told Yahoo!
They are giving this man a trilogy. This is going to be worse than TLJ.

Deconstruction and post modernism is jew bullshit

What a fucking hack. He's just a corporate slave, a stand-in director for the PR panel that truly designs these things, and he goes around talking as if he was some kind of genius discovering new territory.

He can fuck right off
fucking retarded child

An object moving faster than lightspeed would have more than infinite momentum. Introducing kamikaze warp into canon not only undermines the entire setting, it also turns what was just soft-sci unexplained space-travel into silly bullshit. How is there any conflict in their universe when they have infinite energy engines?

How did they go into hyperspace if they were low on fuel? I feel like it would take an immense amount of fuel to leap into hyperspace

the guy made brick. surprised he hasnt turned inside out from hvaing his head up his ass

>visually TLJ was good
>felt like something out of a Snyder film

Neither TLJ nor Snyder films have good visuals. That shit is literally the lowest form of pleb bait and you just outed yourself.

Yeah, he’s like the Christopher Nolan of the decade.

>Made one decent indie flick

>A bunch of random flop shit

>Gets Star Wars

May as well give Richard Kelly a trilogy while we're at it.

B-but I thought the mouse was dying and was going to fire Rian??
D-did Sup Forums lie to me???

Might as well give Zack Snyder a Star Wars trilogy at this point.

I'd take that.

Would probably be the dumbest, darkest Star Wars ever. I'd probably watch it.

They're not going to announce that they've let go the director of their major blockbuster while it's still in theaters, dumb dumb.

Wait and see within the next couple of months. If they don't release some news of him being gone by April, I'll eat my hat.

Screenshoting this and you better develop a taste for fedoras until April

Disney put Kathleen in charge of Disney. Kathleen is going to purposely run the franchise into the ground, and anyone who tries to stop her will be called a rapist/sexist.

>darkest Star Wars ever
actually that'd be awesome, stormtroopers and rebels slaughtering eachother like dogs and blood and limbs flying around everywhere and a jedi cutting them down like they're made of butter

Very well, my good sir
