Disney CEO Says They Will Be More Careful About the Volume and Timing of Future Star Wars Movies Going Forward

I've given up on ever enjoying the films again, since they frustrate me without end, but this news could a Godsend to those who indulge in Star Wars supplementary material like I do. Simply put, the constant release of films have put a stranglehold on the current canon so that there was no breathing room for anything but small-scale, play-it-safe stories for the comics and the novels. Both mediums were essentially relegated to being promotional material for the films, with next to no original content and any big, ambitious or creative story arcs or events reserved for the movies. This, in my opinion at least, is what makes so much of the current canon materials lackluster and disposable, without any of the weight or impact of the EU.

Maybe having film releases spaced out a little more will give authors and artists some creative breathing room. Time will tell for certain, but I really hope that Lucasfilm will use this opportunity to be a bit more creative with their spin-off material, instead of throwing out more tired OT-centric monster-of-the-week stories with no impact whatsoever.

I've been wrong before, though. I remember excitedly thinking that having the money and resources of Disney would allow for all kinds of new and inventive material to be in The Force Awakens...and look how that turned out.

 

Doesn't surprise me. It'll be better in the long run.

 

Peter Jackson since LOTR:
The Hobbit Trilogy
The Lovely Bones
King Kong

Yikes.

I fixed that last line for you

 

At least the battle scenes would be epic if he did a SW movie.

Has anyone thought about the reason why Bob didn't mention anything about Rian's trilogy is because Rian is currently working on a different movie project with Daniel Craig and theres literally no new information about it that they haven't told us already? Just food for the thought.

 

Or they have said repeatedly it's still going on, whereas the B&W series hasn't been discussed much.
A lot of reasons he didn't mention it

 

I find SW battle scenes as epic as PJ’s in LOTR......

 

I liked all the new movies so I don't consider this good news at all. TJL was great, SOLO was great, RO was basically x wing porn, TFA was solid. I've never been sure what anyone has been complaining about. We made it through the prequels, what could be worse than that? Disney has the budget and the resources to just crank these out forever. I wish things hadn't gotten so toxic because I was really enjoying living in a world with annualized Star Wars movies.

 

Maybe. But then people would be in an uproar about a lack of "connected" films or "they don't trust him enough!" etc etc

 

Apologies, my intention wasn’t that, just stating my view. Creating new Star Wars films without destroying the legacy is a tall order. It is if my view that instead of releasing a film every year, they should’ve spent more time planning out the ST and making it as great as possible. Now whether you liked TLJ or not (I did), there can be no doubt that the planning of this trilogy have gone amiss. What’s more, RO and Solo both suffered in production and imo were average movies.

 

yep...Johnson is doomed


Any chance that disney will take COMPLETE control over future movies?


Like how kevin feige took control of marvel films over Marvel itself and made the film division into a seperate entity within disney?

 

You guys are getting really lazy with these troll attempts.
