Given the massive backlash his Star Wars: The Last Jedi received and the different direction the franchise has taken with The Mandalorian, it appeared that Johnson’s trilogy has been quietly scrapped.
It has been a long time since any concrete news has even hinted that Rian Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy, announced by Lucasfilm in 2017, was moving forward.
Though it’s hard to digest the possibility that Lucasfilm and Disney are ready to accommodate a trilogy that majorly deviates from their current vision, only time will tell whether Johnson’s Star Wars films are indeed happening.
But evidently, all the hypothesis and the predictions have been wrong as it has been once again confirmed that Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy is still happening as director Rian Johnson recently shared the news in an interview with author Sariah Wilson.
