The post How Rian Johnson’s New Trilogy Will Take The Star Wars Franchise Into A Bold, New Direction appeared first on thestarsworldwide.com.
]]>Just before Star Wars: The Last Jedi was released, Lucasfilm announced Johnson, the film’s director, would write and direct the next trilogy, taking place beyond Episode IX and introducing brand new characters and stories into the franchise. As Johnson told IGN, “part of the excitement of it is really trying to hone in on ‘what is Star Wars?’ What was Star Wars for me the very first time I saw it when I was a little kid?”
What will set these new films apart is that Johnson will try to recreate the formula for a successful Star Wars franchise, but without including anyone of Skywalker lineage or other notable characters from the saga. As Johnson put it, “once you get past the things that are the iconography of Star Wars – once you say, okay, if it doesn’t have the Falcon; if it doesn’t have someone with Skywalker as their last name; if we don’t go to Tatooine, what is it?”
