Have they planned anything after Episode IX for the main timeline?Not really..
Would be interesting if they did one that focused on the criminal underworld.
'Star Wars Episode IX' Release Date Confirmed For February 29th, 2019
http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2017/04/exclusive-star-wars-episode-ix-release.html
Big question on my mind... HOW?! I mean outside of CGI, and I would think the Star Wars community in general would have a big problem with that.

If her estate signs off on it, I don't think there would be a big problem. I think it would be a much worse crime for them to kill her off off-screen or to make her quietly go away.
Ooh. And Indy 5 confirmed for 2020. Hope Harrison Ford has another 3 years left in him. Not sure why, (he's not QUITE that old) but there's a feeling I get when I see him that we won't have him for much longer.Yeah and After the sudden death of Carrie Fischer, they better hurry up :scared:
Ooh. And Indy 5 confirmed for 2020.Ugh, NO! Just, no. Indiana Jones is a character that lives such a rough and tumble lifestyle that he SHOULDN'T live to a ripe old age. He was already complaining about the mileage in the first movie. The only way he could live to be an old man is if he gave up adventuring and stayed as just a teacher until he retired. And the idea of him giving up is just depressing.

http://www.starwarsunderworld.com/2017/09/rumor-rian-johnson-is-frontrunner-to.htmlYeah I was thinking they would probably ask him to come back especially if The Last Jedi turns out to be as good as it looks thus far.
“There’s one gatekeeper when it comes to Star Wars and it’s Kathleen Kennedy,” says a veteran movie producer, who has worked with the studio chief. “If you rub Kathleen Kennedy the wrong way — in any way — you’re out. You’re done. A lot of these young, new directors want to come in and say, ‘I want to do this. I want to do that.’ A lot of these guys — Lord and Miller, Colin Trevorrow — got very rich, very fast and believed a lot of their own hype. And they don’t want to play by the rules. They want to do "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" differently. And Kathleen Kennedy isn’t going to "OH GODZILLA! WHAT TERRIBLE LANGUAGE!" around with that.

WTF is the "Oh Godzilla" quote have to do with anything? Is that an actual line somebody wanted to put in a Star Wars movie? Because if so, yeah it was a terrible idea.
What I'm also wondering is if a woman is that high up as a producer for these movies, why haven't we even heard of them looking for a woman director yet? Patty Jenkins, maybe? Kathryn Bigelow?
JJ Abrams?? :o

It's a safe decision, Disney is clearly being very cautious. I'd rather a more interesting choice, like Guillermo DelToro.JJ Abrams?? :o

JJ Abrams?!?! THAT IS SO....boring.
At this point, it probably doesn't matter who they go with, as long as they have a minimum amount of skill. I doubt any artistic vision will make from the director into the finished product. It's too bad. One of the reasons I was excited about the spinoffs was the chance to see this world through someone else's eyes.I agree. It's also too bad because when Episode IX is released we'll have 11 Star Wars movies total, and allowing some artistic vision would prevent the franchise from becoming stale.
He's also writing it. AKA, 15 death stars and the plot of ROTJ, here we come.:D :D I was just think that as well!
I would have picked Christopher Nolan myself but JJ Abrams will do just nicely.
Yeah, I think it will be good, but probably not groundbreaking.Exactly. Which in this series, after 9 films of a lot of repetition, going out with something great is important.

I am well aware of your feelings Im.
Isn't the quality of the story largely dependent on the screenwriting? The director and the actors just breathe life into words.

The director as chef is a pretty good analogy. The script is the recipe. And the rest like actors and effects are the ingredients. Any one of those things could be bad and regardless of the qualities of the other two the end result would be bad.Isn't the quality of the story largely dependent on the screenwriting? The director and the actors just breathe life into words.
They are all important pieces that make up the whole. Screenwriting is one of the ingredients, but the director is the chef. Or maybe the screenwriting is the recipe, and the director is the oven? The producers are the tomatoes.....I don't know. I'm hungry.
But sometimes a really good cook can make something really good out of bad ingredients.Yes, but that something is not what was intended per the recipe. So he's not really following the recipe either.

Don't know anything about Trevorrow, but I'd prefer pretty much anyone to JJ.
Paramount gave us all the Transformers sequels. They think I'll be giving them any sympathy???? As Edna Krabappel would say... "HA!".

I just realized that her name is basically "Crab Apple"
i still hope that there is a nice big chasm for kylo ren to fall into in ep 9Seeing as how both Kylo Ren and Rey were almost swallowed by a chasm in TFA that would be quite ironic.
This movie is such a failure. It has made $0 at the box office.Yeah! To the Pit of Misery! DILLY-DILLY!!!
Now that TLJ opened JJ's dumb mystery box and showed everybody it was empty, will JJ try to use the mystery box again in the third act? Probably not, but I'm not sure he can write anything without that crutch.Based on everything we've seen, I don't think there is a clear overall direction to this trilogy.
I guess what I'd like to know is, did Rian undermine JJ's story, or was the hyping up and subsequent abandonment of classic Star Wars tropes planned to be this trilogy's point from the beginning?
Personally, I prefer Rian's direction, and I fear JJ may try to steer the whole thing back the other way.

If Rian Johnson is doing the entire trilogy instead of just one entry I think they will fit together better.Based on everything we've seen, I don't think there is a clear overall direction to this trilogy.

and he has another whole other trilogy to play around with.
I'm sure it'll be as a force ghost.
Hey, it's better than replacing her with CGI.I guess but Carrie Fischer passed away..

Nobody Is Replacing Carrie Fisher As Princess Leia In Star Wars 9
Yeah, but it's an easy mistake to make because she only had roughly 10 seconds of screen time in Rogue one. But now that I think about it... how do you even forget THAT?
It would be a bad idea for episode 9. But they've recast Han Solo, so...*shrug*
It also seems clear to me now that we're inevitably going to get reboots of the original trilogy.
Now-now.. Sulfuric Acid has other purposes :-XIt would be a bad idea for episode 9. But they've recast Han Solo, so...*shrug*

...vitriol? You being sarcastic?
Okay, now you see that at least for myself counts as a spoiler.
after looking at it i wonder what kind of cool-aid the writers are drinking.
Okay, now you see that at least for myself counts as a spoiler.
how that the writers are probably out of the minds counts as a spoiler?
I would LOVE to see Billy Dee Williams come back. I mean who's a better fleet commander than him? Also uhhh, I wouldn't mind seeing Boba Fett come back for Episode 9... along with maybe a few other old faces? Completely for dramatic purpose of course because part of me does think that a character in a movie should serve some dramatic purpose. otherwise they should be left out of the final product.
The rise and fall? Did... somebody forget that there were years before 2015 were Star Wars wasn't exactly at it's greatest? I mean I want to be gentle about how I phrase this because I don't want to offend anybody or hurt someone's feelings but honestly? The way I see it, Star Wars is thriving. It doesn't matter to me that Solo is not raking in the dough like Disney expected. What's most important is that with my own feelings and experiences with the franchise and having put all kinds of points of view together in my head... I honestly, truthfully can't get enough Star Wars from Disney and I'll be seeing their Star Wars movies until my dying day.
Star Wars is in trouble, your feelings aside.

How does Solo losing tens of millions of dollars at the box office indicate that Star Wars is thriving? Not to mention that Blu Ray sales for the Last Jedi is half of what they were for The Force Awakens. There's also the unsold Star Wars merchandise sitting on store shelves.
Star Wars is in trouble, your feelings aside. Lucasfilm has arrogantly dismissed the fanbase and is reaping what it has sown. With that said, JJ Abrams has proven he is capable of providing fanservice. If he can connect with the fanbase and not dismiss them, along with a couple apologies and firing Rian Johnson from the new trilogy Lucasfilm could turn things around.
How does Solo losing tens of millions of dollars at the box office indicate that Star Wars is thriving?Artistically speaking Linszoid... artistically speaking.
You're right. Star Wars isn't going to exist anymore. You can stop watching the movies and posting about it online.So it's true.. Evil will Always Triumph, because Good is Dumb! :scared:

A lot of people have been saying "I'm not going to see the next Star Wars". Now I'm not saying I disbelieve ALL of them... but let's face it... After The Phantom Menace what did a lot of fans say? They said "I'm through with Star Wars" and what happened? They still came back for Attack of the clones! What did some fans say after Attack of the clones? They said "No more Star Wars for me!". What happened when Revenge of the Sith came out? They all came out in droves to see it.Given how bored I was by Solo, I'm certainly don't plan on seeing a sequel to it or other individual movies that are part of this spinoff.
Now, I'm not calling some Star Wars fans liars, but with some exceptions, I think they underestimate their desire to see the continuation of a story that took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. I don't know anything about episode 9 but I'm sure it's going to be astoundingly epic and the second a trailer hits, a lot of minds will instantly be changed.

If they name this thing "Star Wars Episode Nine From Outer Space" I might actually see it.Linszoid, is this you taking the "I'm done with Star Wars" oath?

You can never know from a trailer, almost never as to whether a movie's going to be really good or not, but I'm at least intrigued by the title. I also really liked Luke's line of "No one's ever really gone", then the Emperor's laugh. That was cool.I just hope it doesn't mean what I think it means.
I've never been let down by JJ's movies, and I seriously doubt episode 9 is going to let me down either.
BTW at this point maybe one of the mods wants to change the title of this thread from Episode 9 to Rise of a Skywalker?

oh, maxi big da force...Clarification. What do you mean by that?
Luke says about Rey "We've tought you all we know." Um...you trained her for like three days!It's not like Luke got all that much training in with Yoda.
Yes, and Yoda didn't give him a Jedi diploma at the end, or claim that "I've taught you all I know." Luke had to go study further on his own, apparently for years.Luke says about Rey "We've tought you all we know."

I recently read the Wookiepedia entry for what happened to Jar Jar.
It's pretty good: he lives on the streets of Theed as a destitute bum forced to perform as a street clown because all the Gungans and Naboo blame him for the rise of the Empire.
And that's stuff they've written SINCE Disney took over, so it's not any of that "Legends" crap.
Been thinking about it and outside of Episode 1, I can’t really remember any piece of music from the prequel trilogy.
Can't find a gif version, but it's still worth posting.A laser-corkscrew might be the most useless thing I've ever seen..

Then you should check out Sky Mall.The last time I saw one of those was on an Airplane.
Also, if that awful Boba Fett cartoon was the basis for some things they do in The Mandalorian, does than mean they have Steven Tyler as Han Solo in it?I'm trying to think of a good Aerosmith reference as the basis for a joke but I'm coming up empty. Maybe those animators needed to know where to... Draw the line!
I'd guess that's because TLJ wasn't going to be there at launch. (They add it to the service in a few weeks. Just in time for the new one to come out. Gotta rake in that Blu-ray money.)

yeah, unless i missed something, there's no reason that the show is required viewing for the film.
decent movie, but somewhat underwhelming finale to nine movies.

Went to see it again tonight, enjoyed it more the second time, also got more emotional the second time. Funny how sometimes when you know something is coming you feel it more. Also noticed a lot more callbacks since I could pay more attention to the background stuff.
