USA Today: Lucasfilm Still Wants To Release New Star Wars Trilogy From Ryan Johnson

Until Lucasfilm is head over heels in racist scandals, inside the studio they continue to prepare new projects. And among them are the most controversial, claims USA Today

As the journalist reports Saria WilsonLucasfilm is still planning to launch a separate trilogy. “Star Wars“(Star Wars), for which the notorious director is responsible “The last Jedi“(The Last Jedi) Ryan Johnson… Apparently, the details will be published in a new article dedicated to the director.

The full text of the dialogue has not yet been published. But Wilson clarified that Johnson is busy with other projects, so the production timeline for the new trilogy has not been disclosed.

The Last Jedi split the fan community and alienated a significant portion of the paying audience from Star Wars. If the tape J.J. AbramsForce awakens“(The force awakens) earned more than $ 2 billion, Johnson’s work raised only $ 1.3 billion, and “Skywalker. Sunrise“(The rise of skywalker) – a little over a billion.

In addition, sales of toys collapsed, and Han Solo: A Star Wars Story“(Solo: A Star Wars Story) was the first film in the history of the franchise to fail miserably. The only thing that helped Lucasfilm fix things was the TV show “Mandalorian“(The mandalorian).

The studio representatives blamed “Russian trolls” and “white supremacists” for what was happening. But in 2023, the actor spoke sharply about Johnson’s work. John Boyega, who complained about the insults and racism that was happening on the set of the new trilogy. I myself was dissatisfied with the final results Mark Hamill, who criticized Ryan Johnson even before the release of The Last Jedi.

Over the past few years, the studio has been stubbornly silent about the Johnson trilogy. Only the director himself periodically mentioned the plans, so many thought that Lucasfilm quietly “killed” his trilogy – like a movie Josh Trunk about Bobu Fetta and a project from showrunners “The game of thrones“(Game of thrones) David Benioff and D.B. Weiss

The timing of the interview also draws attention. Now the scandal around the dismissal of the actress is in full swing Gina Karano from the series “The Mandalorian”. As it turned out, Lucasfilm did not even inform the artist of the dismissal (she learned about the decision from social networks).
