Rogue One: A Star Wars Story opens in U.S. theaters on December 16, 2016, followed by Star Wars: Episode VIII on December 15, 2017, the Han Solo Star Wars Anthology film on May 25, 2018, Star Wars: Episode IX in 2019, and the third Star Wars Anthology film in 2020.
One of the film’s strongest characters was the villain Kylo Ren, played by Adam Driver.
That Driver is praising the work of Abrams and Johnson is no surprise, but the wording of his quote is rather interesting.
“I’d much rather do movies with great directors for nothing, but I also feel in the franchise world I lucked out.
