My prediction : they cancelled it but they're gonna announce it after the Ep9 release to prevent box office damage.
shareIt would probably help the box office.
shareI believe this to be true. To admit this now would be to somewhat disown the Last Jedi, which in turn diminishes the value of this 3rd film. No statements will be made one way or the other until ep 9 runs its course.
shareI would say that the success of the MCU also played a role in this.
Think about how much money Rian Johnson/Kathleen Kennedy lost Disney by aliening part of the fan base.
The MCU is breaking records, and printing endless amounts of money. Meanwhile, the SW fan base is fractured and there is a lot less excitement then there should be for episode 9.
Lucasfilm could be making that kind of money as well if they hadn't fucked it all up by letting those two do whatever they wanted.
Marvel is the only consistently successful studio in Disney's much-vaunted "silo system".
Why Alan Horn still has a job is beyond me.
There wouldn't have been ANY excitement for Disney Star Wars AT ALL if people knew those idiots' grand plan from the start.
Seems like Bob Iger is overriding Kennedy's decisions
shareBased on "The Last Jedi" disaster if Rian Johnson does get his trilogy then i can honestly see it being a complete financial disaster of epic proportions.
Who is he gonna target it towards.......
The old Star Wars Fans that have been alienated, called names, insulted, called manbabies, incels, trolls, told they are not needed and many other insults from Rian Johnson and his ilk.
The SJW crowd that don't care for the franchise, they just care about pushing agendas, that won't make them a billion.
New fans, kids and teenagers? Have you been to a toy store recently. MCU toys can't sell fast enough while Star Wars toys gather dust on the shelves due to no one buying them. Kids are not interested in Star Wars, the MCU has won there fandom and loyalty.
So again who would it be made for? It will be the final nail in the coffin for Star Wars.
That site is a huge rumor site. I wouldn't put too much faith in it.
shareYour post title is one giant tease.
