Bob Iger: "Following 'The Rise of Skywalker,' Star Wars will go on hiatus"
- Thread starter Kalmakov
- Start date
Star Wars doesn't work as something that can come out every 2 years until infinity, it was always an "event" franchise and you lose that if you release too many movies.
Expanding into television will serve the IP well and let them tell stories without having so much pressure on them.

Thats probably a good thing. They tried to give us too much starwars at once and solo proved that audiences have a limit. One movie every few years is fine, we dont need one or two starwars films every year
So the Avatar sequels were delayed to serve the schedule of D&D's Star Wars films and now they're going on hiatus.
Fuck.
Fuck.
Not really, it's always been a serialized franchise with 3 years minimum in between instalments (and nothing in between) and decade+ between trilogies for the first 6 films.
Trying to change it now into a "every 1-2 years" franchise is different and probably wasn't going to work.
Think they will look to move back into the traditional May/summer slot for Star Wars. The only reason they went to December in the first place was because JJ Abrams didn't have enough time to make a summer release and that caused a ripple effect for the other films.
"For a few years" so there is still a sw movie scheduled for 2022.
I'm pretty sure this is in line what with they had scheduled before. 2-3 years is a pretty small hiatus lol
If Disney did the franchise a disservice... what did GL do with the franchise...?
The Clone Wars literally existed......there was a whole universe buit...NVM
Seriously. I don't care what anyone says. Until the ST delivers a stinker as bad as Episode 2.
We should all be happy the IP is alive and well.
I'd be fine with one cinematic trilogy per decade, released annually a la Lord of the Rings.
The Clone Wars movie if that's what you're talking about is the biggest bomb in Star Wars history.
They're still doing TV with the Mandalorian and Obi-Wan shows and those should do well if written competently.
Good. Give RJ all the time he needs.
You misspelled Solo. Clone Wars film made back its budget.

New film for summer 2023 with Jon Favreau as writer/director, Fiege co-producing it, and a tone more in line with Guardians of the Galaxy (more jokes/contemporary humor) is what I expect. New characters so they have no established rules.
I hope they get the same director to direct all the movie in the next trilogy and go to a different time period preferably old republic. Extremely disliked all the movies in the prequel trilogy hopefully next one will be better.
Hopefully the next trilogy they'll get a decent writer and write the WHOLE THING before making them and don't just "wing it" so they have no idea where they are going or have someone else come in to make a sequel in a trilogy and fuck it all up.
I mean you'd think that you'd want to at least know where the storyline is going to go and the major story beats before you start filming the first movie

I meant rise of skywalker bye they probably want to give some distance from it
