SP2475Good lord. I thought we were done with Luke Skywalker. They're really caving in to the incel brigade by rehashing this tired space wizard story. Can we get something for grown ups like Andor again?
Spoon53Think it’s a little premature to make this announcement based on the article.
Tsumibito / 罪人17I love Star Wars. Star Wars is great. It's time we take Star Wars to the vet one last time.
✨Zelly✨9spamming “i’ve got a bad feeling about this” in every chat
katy ✨8just do patton oswalt's vision cowards
🦂 Stephen Scorpiono (10/24) ♏️7Why can't we come up with a new family. Why are we still making stories about the Skywalkers?! What about a Black Star Wars family?! Let's move the tf on completely from that tide ass, dysfunctional ass Skywalker family.
Brendel168Yes this is kind of a dumb idea but also “try again with the same cast but not JJ Abrams” might be a legitimately correct move
Ayce20Can we please just move on ftom this fucking family lol
The Alternate Historian11Meh, this will get quietly canceled not long from now.
Abra / Jessica Conwell, Carmella Creeper's Gender Doula🏳️⚧️ 🇲🇽🌼11The Skywalkers have become the Bluths of the Star Wars universe.
Don[ny]ovan9Wonder if this one will have a cohesive storyline...
Agent Strange9In my restless dreams I see that place, a world without another entry in the Skywalker Saga.
Orlando B ✍️ COMMS OPEN8Honestly hilarious that Disney accidentally locked these films into all being about the goddamn Skywalker family.
Jenny Geist5They let one director with sauce make a Star Wars and people hated it so much that they've made it a rule that they must never give a Star Wars to someone with directorial chops
Cho Desu4They should unironically do my idea, Star Peace, now that the wars are over. It would be fun and interesting to tell a new story
dr. pissmore ⊙2eternal humiliation for lotus. unending torture for lotus being a star wars fan
I keep reading "Jon Watts to direct Star Wars" as "John Waters to direct Star Wars," and I can't help but feel disappointed that we're not getting THAT movie.
Invalid Handle Guy4I'm glad I'm not the only one who read it like that
Cartoon goat boyfriend3Staring Pia Sidora as Padme!
🎃 Ryan S. Pumpkins 🎃 (Any Questions?)2R2D2: Beep beep BEEP boop boop C-3PO: I most certainly will not eat that dog turd!
Memoirs of a Failed Fabric Softener Bear1I'd watch the hell out of that.
Andrew Nelson1Star Wars is far too chaste, but that would be amazing. 😂
Bill Arceneaux (bring back dollar theaters)11Divine would fit in SO FREAKING WELL at either the Cantina or Jabba's Palace - though those are the obvious places. Where else could Divine be? Where else could Divine bring chaos and love?
Armak for the Resistance ⚜️🇧🇷🍉🌻10This is what the people want. Waters not Watts!
-"Jon Watts (Skeleton Crew👍) is now attached to direct the first installment of the Simon Kinberg-penned trilogy." -"next episodes of the Skywalker Saga." 🙄 -"project is still in development and has not yet been greenlit by parent company Disney"
Paisley P. Peinforte2I adored Skeleton Crew so I hope this goes somewhere, but for the love of god centrally plan it and think it through this time.
Bill Mudron2Sure, let’s give the guy who wrote X-Men 3 and wrote/directed Dark Phoenix a Skywalker Saga trilogy - that’s exactly what Star Wars needs right now.
I don't know that we need another Skywalker Saga trilogy, but if Daisy Ridley's involved, I'm interested. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...
Bill Kuchman6Skywalker Saga deserves a better conclusion than Rise of Skywalker.
pershing48.bsky.social4"Oh hey Daisy Ridley is in another Star Wars"
NutMeg 3I'm certainly interested in seeing more from Daisy , but could we also get some screenwriters for the next attempt to write for her?
Fan of Buff Coach Dan Campbell Team1Is her New Jedi Order movie still happening? One way or the other, she deserves a chance to be the face of this franchise on her own terms without the specter of the old stars or being jerked back and forth by two different creative visions.
gvernon.bsky.social1Why in the world would that be
Micah254bring me the old republic give me revan, naga sadow, exar kun, nomi sunrider let the skywalkers rest
post malone ergo propter malone93I look forward to finding out literally anything about the central character who already led three billion dollars worth of movie
Katherine Alejandra Cross24I cannot conceive of this being Good. Sure, we all deserve a better ending than "Rise of Skywalker" but it really feels like this can only end with yet more designed-by-committee cash-ins.
regime critic6why even bother continuing this story. it sucks so bad, i don’t want to watch it. they can’t rehabilitate the characters, all and any goodwill has been blown
Chris2Let the Skywalkers die. Kill them if you have to. Oh wait. They did that and then just invented a new Skywalker
This went from rumor piece earlier today to confirmed by THR's Borys Kit this evening. Jon Watts (the Spider-Man Home trilogy) to direct the next #StarWars film, the first of three produced and written by Simon Kinberg (a bunch of the Fox X-Men films). www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...
M.H. Williams7It is, all things considered, a reflection of where Lucasfilm wants to go with Star Wars. Something safe, a straight base hit of a film. Watts and Kinberg are not the guys you hire to bring you a new spin. They're the guys you hire to deliver a movie that might get the audience to clap.
Kevin Bunch (ubersaurus)1I really wish I could muster up anything but ennui about the prospect of further Star Wars movies, I really do
Dan1Having one guy write the trilogy up front at least shows they learned something from the ST failures.
🦇 Arsenal Bat 🦇4Offer David Lowery a Star War. He’ll probably turn it down, but him directing episodes of Skeleton Crew made me want to see him take a crack at a full movie.
Canadian Tokusatsu Donald3I remain optimistic. The two have delivered the goods in the past and this should be the jolt that the franchise needs, cinema wise. Plus, we got Starfighter coming next year, so it’s all good.
Cap'n Peanut B. Crunch sez "ABOLISH ICE FOR GOOD!"2To clarify for folks: Yes, this is the post-Sequel Trilogy movie announced back in 2024 (separate from the Rey movie). THR previously said it was separate from the Saga while Deadline said it was, but now they seem to be corroborating what Deadline said.
