Benioff and Weiss movies will be ones that start in 2022. Seems to be no surprise there: https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-first-st...yfXDlWPvM5F3Gk

That would seem to suggest that RJ's trilogy, if still being made at all, wouldn't start until probably 2028 at the earliest.

Honestly, I'll be shocked if the RJ trilogy happens. I don't know if they already inked a deal with him prior to all TLJ backlash, but I wouldn't be surprised if his trilogy either turned into one stand alone movie, something for Disney + or just nothing at all.

Something I just started thinking about... I honestly think SW peaked for me in 95, with the re-release of the trilogy on VHS. Oh how little did we know George really meant "one...last...time" on that old teaser that played before the movies we just bought.(again) I guess my question is - knowing what we know now.. would we have been better off having no new movies from that point on? SW still seemed mostly untouchable (despite Jedi being a big step down from the first two imo) We'd still have the books, comics, etc that came after (I never got too deep into them) I'm probably being selfish, no doubt many kids have become SW fans through all of the content (such as it is) since than... but, as it stands now...SW is just another aging franchise being propped up by nostalgia. Here's hoping the Old Republic trilogy (and streaming shows) can change that...it's just not something I'd bet on at this point.

Let's be honest...most of the "depth" in Star Wars has come from either fans or other media OUTSIDE of the actual film series, which has always been kid (or at the very least, teen) oriented. I saw THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK on the big screen about a week ago and while it's still my favorite Star Wars movie, I couldn't help but notice how BAD the acting is in that film...it's pretty laughable at points, particularly Harrison Ford's, of all people.

It's an alright trilogy, the first film is far superior to the diminishing returns of the sequels. And that franchise hasn't had any reboots or remakes because the creators held onto certain creative control:

they needed to get their shit together in the early 90s with the original cast while they were still relatively young and give us the sequels we all really wanted.

Was it ever really intended as a stand alone film. They ended the movie on a cliff hanger so it seemed they always intended it to have sequels.

I don't know how remake of BTTF would work. At this point they would be going back to 1989, four years after the original movie came out. I guess they could poke fun at the lack of internet or cell phones, but being as I was alive in 1989 and not in 1955, the timeline wouldn't have the same impact as it did when it was a period of time before I was born.

Agreed. Leave BTTF alone. I’ve seen it as much as any movie, and love it as much as any movie I’ve ever seen. It’s just movie magic. The sequels proved you really couldn’t make it any better than the first time.

Use this thread for Star Wars talk other than the current movie. And whiny discussion can be taken here https://forum.dvdtalk.com/movie-talk...-so-whiny.html

I don't believe there should've any sequels after Star Wars, as much fun as some of them were. But here we are.

The Last Jedi's shittyness can't be contained to only one thread.

The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars movie since ESB

The Last Jedi is a fucking disgrace. Not just a bad Star Wars movie but a bad movie period.

It shit on the legacy of Luke Skywalker to the point where the actor hates the movie and what they did to his character.

Colossally bad decisions in the plot and pacing by a tone deaf writer/director given complete control by an inept group at Disney who for some mind boggling reason didn't have a cohesive 3 movie arc penned out after 40 fucking years of people drooling for one! Insanity!

Fuck Rian Johnson in the ass with a double bladed, double hilted lightsaber wielded by an epileptic Wampa.

So this is basically a bitch about Star Wars thread? That’ll be productive...

Why is there a need to just regurgitate shit you said in TLJ thread? I don't get it. It's a horse that has been beaten to death in that thread (and others) already.

Lock it up! Lock it up!

I like Star Wars.

I was just counterpointing the guy who claimed to love it.

I think this thread is also useless.

But to bring it on track, I am a little confused about the SW movies on the docket, or rumored to be. My understanding is:

One is Rian Johnsons trilogy, that I don't think will see the light of day, but is supposed to take place at the same time as the SW we know but in a different part of the galaxy?

One is a Knights of the Old Republic trilogy (or singled movie?) from the Game of Thrones guys. Or are they doing something else, and if so, what?

Any others?

I actually think, TomOpus , you might consider redoing your OP and using it as an opportunity to curate current projects like TGM listed. Threads often get their direction from the OP. And if the OP is going to kick things off talking about whining, well..
