Lucasfilm is reportedly looking at two very familiar faces to helm Star Wars 9 (no, not George Lucas)

If you’re still recovering from the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars Episode 9 shocker that Colin Trevorrow has left the project amid 🃏differences o🌸ver “visions”, then hold on to your space seatbelt. A few very familiar names have been floating around in regards to who꧋ will be the new director of the final movie in the trilogy.
Ready? Not only is Rian Johnson squarely in the frame to helm a second Star Wars movie (after 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi), also believes that JJ Abrams is also on 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm’s mind when it⛎ comes to who will be sitting in the director’s chair come May 24, 2019.
It makes sense that Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy would look to the past before deciding on Star Wars 9’s future. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens was an obvious success and the buzz around Rian Johnson’s work so far speaks for i🍨tself. Plus, you know what you’re getting with those guys. No fuss, no muss.
Star Wars has had an ugly history in the past half-decade with directors leaving projects: first there was Josh Trank’s unnamed Boba Fett movie (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:seconds before he was due to anno💧unce it), the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Han Solo movie firings of directors C🤡hris Miller and Phil Lord and now Co✃lin Trevorrow’s departure.
Fourth time lucky, am I right?
There’s still some good Star Wars 9 news (honest): Star Wars: The Last Jedi, as of writing, will have an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:extra Star Wars 9-related scene. Oh, and there’s the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars episode 9 release date too – if it doesn’t get changed.
