It already looks like they're headed for two a year though. It's either tha Han movie or episode 9 is out in may after the Christmas release.

One in a calendar year is what I meant. They really diluted the Marvel movies releasing two or three per year.

It's funny cos I'd be wary of that if I were them. The marvel movies dropped off in quality as they went on IMO I'd hate to see that happen with Star Wars. It's their golden goose so they'll treat it carefully. That said you don't spend $4billion to not take advantage of the brand. Pisser is its shareholders will make that call and they always want more money.

That's not true at all though. In a lot of ways the Marvel films have gotten better, with the worst of them being the 2nd wave (Iron Man 2, Ultron).

The quality is relatively consistent, but the buzz around each release has certainly died down.

I'm not sure other than Ultron has a marvel movie had more buzz than civil war.

That was an outlier for sure.

the avengers movies (whatever they are called) will have a huge amount of buzz and shouldnt be compared to the solo films

Well this might actually be happening. With an announcement at celebration possibly?

My god. yes please. That sounds perfect.

Aouncement for this expected at Star Wars celebration, April 13?

A while ago, we were told by Anthony Breznican that Lucasfilm seemed to be waiting to figure out if the Sequel Trilogy was going to use Obi-Wan before they wanted to greenlight a spin-off. Well, evidently, they didn’t have to wait that long. Your prayers have been answered, Kenobi bros:

Kathleen Kennedy and the rest of Lucasfilm fully intend to make an Obi-Wan movie set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, with Ewan McGregor in tow.
Of the three projects, this is the one I was told the most about. It should also be noted that our source clarified the following:

I want to emphasize that it’s a movie, singular – not a trilogy.
There was a bit of confusion over this one, since some believed that the character would be getting an entire trilogy to himself because there were three different pitches being developed for the film. However, I’d like to stress that three different pitches do not necessarily denote three different movies – and, in some respect, that may be three more pitches than most other potential Star Wars movies have right now.


Who might be directing the film, you may ask? One potential candidate is someone already familiar with the Galaxy Far, Far Away:

Rogue One’s Gareth Edwards could be returning to the director’s chair, as Kathleen Kennedy was happy with his work on that film [Rogue One].



As of right now, Edwards is taking a well-deserved break from directing after handling the movie that launched the MonsterVerse (2014’s Godzilla) and the first Star Wars spin-off, and when he’ll return to doing another tent-pole is anyone’s guess. Since the movie doesn’t come out until 2020 at the absolute earliest, that gives him more than enough time to come back and even direct a “small” movie in the interim. But even if Edwards does return, our source told us that:
The team of producers and writers are going to be different than Rogue One.
Should this pan out, then one thing I hope for above all else is the possibility of a fight between Obi-Wan and a Krayt Dragon. Seems like it’d fit with how much Edwards loves giant monsters.

Lastly, the source told me that he thinks that an announcement for this one is forthcoming in the next few weeks:

An announcement of an Obi-Wan movie might just be one of the big surprises at Celebration Orlando.
And it’s not just a gut feeling:

This possibility is supported by the existence of a few materials that were made in conjunction with the event.
As it stands, at the end of 2015, there were four movies in the works at Lucasfilm: The Last Jedi and Han Solo in pre-production, Rogue One in production, and The Force Awakens in post-production. At the end of 2016, the same thing could be said with Episode VIII in place of The Force Awakens. It’s entirely possible that they’ll keep this pattern up until The Last Jedi actually comes out.

Looks like they're gonna be announcing this at Star Wars celebration in London this coming weekend.


This is going to be great.

Fool me once? I fool myself daily. And annually it seems.

[E.H. Ruddock]

First off, that timeline for when it takes place would be fan-fucking-tastic. Could even include the Maul stuff from Rebels in it.

Secondly, if Edwards comes back, that would be great as well. This will be so much better than any trashy Boba Fett movie they might do.

I'll stay reserved, but this has the potential to get me super excited.

[dimejinky99]

I'm happiest about the different writers.

Some of the altenate rogue one stories and endings they released the last week or so were straight up Fucking ridiculous. There are ordinary Star Wars fans that could have written better ideas. These guys were getting paid for it and their ideas were worse than turgid fan fic.

Plus not delighted about Edwards. He's not a character director. Not one fully developed character in rogue one. Too big a cast and hard to connect to any of them.
I'm doubtful they'd go with Edwards again. They got a second director in to try make a film out of the stuff he shot. Hello reshoots.
Give it to a proper character director. Someone with the chops. He's s great visual director. That only gets you so far. And I want an Obi Wan film with more substance than oh look more big visual shots.

Really excited if that is the timeline for the film. Rebels is just starting to flush out the timeline period leaving a lot of room to work in and there's always a chance they can tie it into some of the storylines and characters in the Last Jedi and episode 9.

Nah, I connected with just as many characters in Rogue One than in Force Awakens.

Good for you. For all the ponderous time they spent with Jyn even including flashbacks seeing her and her tragic losses etc they failed totally to make you feel anything for her. Or her sacrificing herself at the end. The sacrifice was empty because the character wasn't relatable and she didn't make you empathise with her or her story or her motivations at all. at all. It was just meh.

And talk about quickest turn around ever. From being kidnapped by the rebellion to working for them to be their 'insert inspirational speech person here' character in about ten minutes?

Don't tell me you thought that was good development. It was awful storytelling that was obviously the best of the worst sort of patchwork victim of editing choices available, possible

I wasn't taking about Jyn. Her storyline felt no more rushed or mishandled than Poe or Finn in FA though.

[E.H. Ruddock]

I think going in I wasn't going to get to a deep emotional level with most of them because I already knew their outcome. However, I ended up feeling for Bodhi and Galen especially, and he was hardly in it. So I think there was some character development there.
