These people were mad about The Force Awakens. Getting Rian out of the picture is not victory for these people. If Kelly Marie Tran had given up, that would have been a victory.
Rian Johnson is still directing his ‘STAR WARS’ trilogy, stop believing things you read on Twitter

Didn't like TLJ (or BB's Fly, but Ozymandias was great) so I'm not sad about this. Hopefully they move on to better things.
Good. There isn't enough meat on the bone for an endless stream of movies.
The source is "Super Bro News" and he was NEVER announced to be directing the trilogy.
This even being a thread is ridiculous.

Wait hold on is the trilogy cancelled or is he just no longer directing it?
Because those sound like different things (neither of them good).

That is fine. I think TLJ is a damn good piece of filmmaking and I don't think it deserved the reaction it received. I do not see the bad film that people say it is. There are moments in that film that ( I think) soar to really high moments.
But, opposite beliefs asides I have noticed that the fandom is pretty trash, I feel like I need to distance myself and remove it.
I appreciate you being civil about your dislike for TLJ, more should be that way.
This is basically how I feel. I disliked TLJ, but it's impossible to have a discussion about it. I automatically get labelled in the group of harassers that disliked the movie. The outrage on both sides killed my interest in the franchise even more than the movie did. I don't even know if I'll see the next one this year
Whew, we almost had more than one unique Star Wars film. Bring on the Bland homogeneous Nostalgia circlejerking films!
The 4chan/Reddit anti-TLJ misogynist/racist crew hate Rian too.
So many people here were confident that
a) The haters were only a small percentage
b) There would be no backlash
This is confirmation that the fan reception to TLJ wasn't exactly great.
I mean, there sre dozens of threads filled with people explaining why they didn't like it.
Who knows what it was even going to be. Maybe his idea for a trilogy sucked and Kennedy passed. Who knows?
Anyway, I'm still bummed I'm not getting a Solo sequel.

After the shit with James Gunn, I won't be too surprised if this news is true since it's clear Disney are very reactionary and capable of being fucking idiots. I hope it's not true, though, since Rian was taking Star Wars into really interesting places and a trilogy that he was overseeing would be great.
The harassment got way worse and way more common around The Last Jedi.
Getting Rian out of the picture absolutely is a victory for these people. Rian vocally defended and stuck up for the cast members getting harassed, and stuck to his guns. It is a huge victory for the people who are mad that Luke is a cuck or whatever they're going on about.
Oh no, you misread me! I think its the best or second best movie in the series. TLJ and Empire are the only real great movies in Star Wars.
Do they not hate Abrams? Like I wouldnt be surprised at the inconsistency I guess but is that the case?
Eh. TLJ was the first Star Wars movie I actively disliked on first viewing. Not saying it's the worst, but I did enjoy the prequels as a teen when I first saw them and still have fond memories even though I can't really stomach them now.
TLJ just left a sour taste in my mouth.

He was directing the first one: https://www.starwars.com/news/rian-...last-jedi-to-create-all-new-star-wars-trilogy
What the fuck are you talking about? Him and Kathleen are target #1 for those people.
He was never even announced as the director of the entire trilogy. Only the first.
Title is misleading. The rumours say hes stepping away from it (quitting) which is very different than it being cancelled which suggests Disney decided they didnt want it
Unless some personal tragedy comes out I won't believe for a second that he just "stepped down."
This isn't confirmation of anything. Jesus. We don't even know anything yet.
"tlj haters are just russian trolls and the alt-right"
"everyone loved TLJ, look how many blu-rays its sold!"
etc.
TLJ fan headcanon was strong af.
I can also confirm there was an insane amount of gaslighing going on in those threads.
People straight up in denial that a large portion of the public did not like this movie.
The poll on this website was like 50/50 split between people who liked it and didn't.
Oh I apologize I thought you said that you disliked it.
But I am glad that we feel the same way.
He would never be officially fired. He would be asked to "step down" which of course he will do because it is less humiliating than being fired.
Damn. I'm not a TLJ fan at all, but I was looking forward to seeing what Johnson would do with his own story and characters. All the best to him.
Yeah, this.
Yeah, this.
