Rian Johnson ’s arrive back for moreStar Wars- but when will we get to see it ? Yes , that ’s correct - it ’s not even been two years since J.J. Abrams restore the enfranchisement with the long - anticipatedThe Force Awakens , kickstarting the sequel trilogy , and alreadyLucasfilm is work onanothertrio of picture show . come up from Abrams ' successor and director ofThe Last JediRian Johnson , the announcement has altogether change the perceived the future of the saga .
avowedly , not much is known about the project at the moment . Lucasfilm has announced Johnson ’s engagement and delineate that this willtake place aside from the rest of the Sagathat he ’s currently continuing withEpisode VIII . What that means is anyone ’s guess , but one thing we can approach from a middling informed angle iswhenit will be released .
That ’s a lot of spinning plate - even Geoff Johns would feel exhausted - although it ’s worth clarify the only post - IXproject that ’s been made official is Johnson ’s trilogy . With that in psyche , it take superbia of station in any envision slating . The first of Johnson ’s trilogy could thus make as early as 2020 , while the latest slot would really have to be 2022 - any longer is simply too far out from the declaration . That range account for both the possibility the theater director may desire to make a smaller film between project and that the studio may want a year off fromStar Wars(Indiana Jones 5is set for 2020 , after all ) .
Of of course , we must also consider the position of a full trilogy . Going by how the sequels are being handled thus far , it ’s comely to require one every two years ; so further Johnson movies in 2022 - 2024 and 2024 - 2026 respectively . However , this take on Johnson is only steer the first - it ’s unlikely he ’d be able to maintain that two - yr turnaround , specially as most Walter Elias Disney - era Lucasfilm projects have ingest longer than that to come together . This think of either other directors pace in for Films 2 & 3 , or they ’re more space apart ; sequel as late as 2027 and 2029 .
Whatever the eventual termination , you may rationally expect Rian Johnson ’s trilogy to jump in the early 2020s . We ca n’t go much further , although if iron out we ’d say 2021 for the first movie and then two - year gaps ; this allows a franchise pause class in 2020 , survey the current firing structure on the sequel and still allow for even anthologies in between . That would see us through to 2025 which , allowing for another post - trilogy pause year , would be quality time for anEpisode Xin 2027 , the franchise ’s 50th Anniversary . We ’ll just have to wait and see .
