Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
Rian Johnson or J.J. Abrams may go back to a galaxy far , far by and directStar Wars : Episode IX . Lucasfilm threw theStar Warscommunity into a frenzy earlier today by announcing thatColin Trevorrow will no longer directStar Wars 9 . Despite Trevorrow being a part of the project since 2015 , his encompassing amount of time devoted to developing the movie has not led to the resultant role he or Lucasfilm have want .
The split was reportedly due to the script and the two party not finding a way to make their visions act upon together . ConsideringEpisode IXwill be the completion chapter of this trilogy , there is a lot of insistence on everyone involve to make it crop . With the director ’s place now vacant , Lucasfilm may ultimately ferment to a familiar face to take over .
Take this with a food grain of salt , butDeadlineis reporting that while no deal is in place , Rian Johnson is at the top of any shortlist to replace Trevorrow . Even though this is far from a classic statement that Johnson will be back , it for sure point the fallout in that direction . Johnson is already familiar with Lucasfilm and their system , and is one of the few director to have small to no problem act upon with them as they work on re - launching their infamous brand . Furthermore , THR’sBorys Kitstates that Johnson and J.J. Abrams are quick emerging as contenders .
now following news of Trevorrow ’s departure , Johnson was one of the first names to be suggest to take over , along withStar Wars : The Force Awakensdirector Abrams . Even though the public has yet to see anything more than a individual preview forThe Last Jedi , Lucasfilm is reportedly very happy with the moving-picture show . If that is the pillow slip , bringing Johnson back for the ninth film makes sense , and will be an even better move shouldThe Last Jedibe a decisive and boxwood spot hit this wintertime . He ’s previously stated thathe’d love to make anotherStar Warsfilm , and while these circumstances may not be his idealistic elbow room of doing so , it will definitely be the fastest way .
Abrams on the other hand is the one who launched this new era ofStar Warsand was a lively voice in the developmental stages . fetch him back to close out a story he began telling could mould well , as he would surely serve some of the many question he raised inThe Force Awakens . He ’s also stated how much he ’d love to direct anotherStar Warsfilm , and this could be his chance . There were however report that he and Kathleen Kennedy did n’t always see centre to eye , so Johnson may be the ripe selection so far .
Should Lucasfilm officially put up Johnson the job ( if they have n’t already ) and he accept , it will right away put the managing director back into the thick of things . He ’s currently finishingThe Last Jediand still has the promotional tour to do , and him directingStar Wars 9would all but assure he would take a mountain pass at the riotous hand - all beforeproduction begins at the start of 2018 . Maybe Lucasfilm pushes production a bit to give him more room to catch one’s breath , but there ’s also rumble that the film is already done , leaving Johnson detached to start puzzle out now . So even though Johnson is n’t officially aboardEpisode IX , there sure enough looks like a strong theory that it happens .
