Star Wars Episodes VIII and IX - BmorePat87 - 09-12-2017
Didn't feel like finding the old thread, but with the new movie coming out so soon, this will be a hot topic. Today Disney announced that JJ Abrams is back to write and direct Episode IX after Disney fired Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow who was set to finish the trilogy for them. Rian Johnson, director of Brick, is directing Episode VIII and will likely be helping Abrams move the story forward in the final installment.

smart choice.
Needed to be someone they knew wouldn't go AWOL on them.

Well as long as he has material to reuse he should be fine

Aw, I liked Trevorrow

These new SW movies are trash. One dimensional characters, fan-fic quality writing, copy/paste plot points.

New StarTrek movies were okay but just also rehashed the same stories.. (3rd ST movie was horrible *he couldn't copy the plot of a search for spock*)

The new ST movies were like Michael Bay action films, instead of actual, interesting Trek premises. Though I'd agree the first was the best of the three and they increasingly got worse by several magnitudes with each iteration.

They have had problems with staffing the Hans Solo film, also. When producers have trouble keeping directors and writers it makes me worried a film I want to like is going to turn into complete crap.

It'll likely be messy. It's the price they pay for hiring people without making sure they were all on the same page.
Glad they did that before production for Episode IX

The movie will last 155 minutes which is much for a SW movie.

Holy crap they were actually hyping the world premiere of a movie trailer. You nerds make me giggle.

I thought it was a good side story. If you're caught up with Clone Wars and Rebels, I think you appreciate the story a little bit more.

have only watched a bit of the cartoons... and don't really have the time go watch them all. the main girl wasn't very interesting at all. the blind dude and the other had predictable ends.
Hope 7 is better when I get around to watching it. and I really hope any additional "side storys" are much much better.
