It seems like the Benioff and Weiss trilogy is currently on the front burner, though the Mouse has been cagey on details.

Looks like they’re doing one theatrical trilogy, and a second one won’t be seen for another ten years, if it even materializes at all.

This seems like a pretty damning vote of no confidence for the franchise.

I have to wonder if word of mouth on Game of Thrones will affect that. I don’t see Johnson’s trilogy actually happening after so many people hated TLJ, and this final season of GOT is starting to look like it’ll have a similar lacklash.

Then someone can subvert our expectations and ruin her character too.

Yeah, that’s a fair point.

Folks are really turning on Game of Thrones as it rushes to a conclusion, and it’s disappointing many of its long time fans just as The Last Jedi did.

I’d love to see his vision fully executed. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Rogue One style films are what I want to see. Nothing against Gilroy’s efforts to satisfy the rodent overlord, but you can tell things were hacked and spliced together. I want to see what Edwards had done.

Oh, no, no ... sorry if that sounded as if I was crapping on Gilroy, that was not my intent. I think Rogue One in it’s current form is still the best Star Wars we have gotten since Empire. Gilroy did not do anything wrong; I’m just saying the seams show where Disney wanted changes made and two different ideas were stitched together. Not his fault without completely reshooting everything.

I would love to see Edwards’ movie. I’d also like to see what Gilroy would have done from the beginning. I’m not taking one over the other necessarily, I’m saying I love the notion of a gritty war film off-shoot that actually tells the story of the actual “Star War” instead of another “who’s your daddy 23-and-Me Skywalker adventure”. Gilroy still gave us that war film, just a different view of it.

I am looking forward to the two Disney Plus series far more than I am looking forward to Episode IX. Kathleen Kennedy and Disney have just royally botched every film they have given us. I’m not saying they are bad films, but they are aimless, directionless, troubled productions and it reflects on screen.

That’s too bad. While there are parts of TLJ that rub me the wrong way, it is mostly a well made film. What was missing was somebody overseeing it, managing the brand, and keeping the filmmaker(s) on track with the overall property. It was almost as egregious as nobody being willing to say “uh, no” to George Lucas during the prequels.

It isn't much much different than my job. After 8 years of no turnover in my small department (6 positions) we got a new supervisor. In the four years since then, we’ve turned over two of those spots three times each with each new hire lasting less than 14 months. At some point SOMEBODY has to look at the supervisor and ask what is happening. Same thing with Disney and Kennedy ...
