    The movies made a lot of money so far. Doubtful the course will change unless KK is removed. It is what it is.

    She's like legit MIA. Maybe Solo is a total Trumphole and it needs her help, but she should be doing more press for TLJ.

    maybe we're looking at this the wrong way round?

    KK was probably very visible prior to TFA because of the recent changes with LF and Disney, the fact that TFA was to be the first of a new trilogy, etc. Now that all the initial hubbub is over she's taking more of a backseat and letting the film makers do the talking.

    i don't know if that's the case or not, but it makes some sense to me.

    I'd say it's a bad idea having the man people are (wrongly) single handedly "blaming" doing all the filmmaker and behind the scenes chat promo.

    But this film is very much so a Rian Johnson film and Kathleen's input into its story was minimal.

    :)

    Not sure about the disappointing Box-Office (this morning, it's the sixth grossing movie of all time domestically and might end up its run in top 5)... and was the highest grossing movie this year.

    As for the critics, some FANS were infuriated, some loved it. Me being one, still thinking it's one of the best from the SAGA, if not my favorite.

    Still, chances are the whole trilogy could be cancelled for many reasons. But with the announcement that RJ is starting to shoot in Scotland in June this year, I am pretty sure it is happening for real.

    My concern now is that there is A LOT of Star Wars movies coming out every year and... fans have to accept the fact that:

    1 - It will not perform as good as TFA at the box office... probably degrading to the point these movies will end up as exclusives to the new Disney streaming service.
    2 - Some of these movies will be bad...

    Pretty sure RJ will do something good with his trilogy.

    JJ is starting in June, RJ (Rian Johnson) didn't even write the outline for his trilogy let alone the script for his first film.

    With Rian Johnson at the helm I predict that his trilogy will turn out to be the Titanic for Disney - i.e. not what it turned out to be for Paramount Pictures but the White Star Line.

    Even comicbook.com is questioning it. Rian gave the interview two days ago to SlashFilm (the entire thing is posted in twitter/internet thread, it's worth listening) - he is just getting into it, figuring out what the story would be. He is even contemplating the possibility of doing a movie before Star Wars (although unlikely). If you follow the timeline of The Last Jedi script, it a process of almost year and a half from Lucasfilm hiring him to the beginning of shooting. I think we'll wait for Rian's trilogy for a while, especially if they confirm Obi-Wan movie for after EPIX.

    Fairly low like under 20%.

    I'm more concerned that he might bail though I don't think the odds of that happening are particularly high either just a larger reason to be concerned than Johnson being pushed out.

    The fantasies of the angry and vengeful Disney executives is greatly overstated, this movie has essentially been in the can a year in advance, there were no reshoots demanded, script doctors or clean up directors brought in.
    The brass was happy with the movie the whole way, we know this because we have seen them move heaven and earth in relative terms to context when they haven't even at the eleventh hour at seemingly any expense or level of intervention.

    This is not an organization that has shown a lot of hesitation on pulling the fire alarm before and after.

    No one was shocked at any outcomes, this was not a hand to mouth production. Not even Trevarro when he was doing IX, he likely had more or less the finished script before he started, JJ was raving about it when Force Awakens was still out. People got the dailies. Even the post has been done for a while.

    If one has major Star Wars breaking problems with this film then one also has to level with themselves and admit the problems are far more pervasive than one or two whipping posts.

    Johnson will never touch SW again. Big corporations are afraid of angry consumers.

    Ham Solo will not help. They might as well have hired a poodle to play Ham.

    So @Dra--- I noticed that you gave me a Trolling rating to this post ↑↑ (not that I care about the rating), and please tell me why you left me that rating for my response.

    Do you honestly believe that I was "Trolling" by saying that there's ZERO chance that RJ's trilogy would get cancelled, when Disney KNOWS that they'll make another billion dollars by doing so??

    Really?
