This is objectively not going to be reality.D&D trilogy, or whatever the hell it is, is gonna be prequel-tier.

I think I laid my reasoning pretty well in both posts.I dunno why people are jumping to that conclusion when RJ has said himself he's still working on his own movies. This is only one film.
I meanI think I laid my reasoning pretty well in both posts.
Looking at what we now know, I don't think RJ was lying, plans just changed.
We know there's more than one D&D film and there is no more room for in betweens because of Avatar, Avatar IS the in between.I mean
He said like what two months ago that he's still working on his projects. We have absolutely no reason to believe he's suddenly been dropped or that his movies aren't happening.
Like I said, we're talking about a single D&D movie, not a series of films. So we have no reason to believe their projects will cover all the way through 2030 with no RJ film in between.
Not a single report is saying anything about D&D having consecutive releases. We're talking about a single film. Do we really think the next decade starting in 2023 is literally going to only be D&D movies? RJ was just dead wrong about working on his own films when he rebuffed rumors basically weeks ago?We know there's more than one D&D film and there is no more room for in betweens because of Avatar, Avatar IS the in between.
For RJ's trilogy, D&D's multiple films and Avatar, we're talking about going into 2030.

I'm saying we don't know if we're getting consecutive releases from D&D, we don't even know what it is they're working on.. if it's going to be a trilogy, alternating with other SW films.. nothing.Do you really think there are going to be four years between installments of each person's series?
If it's not consecutive releases then it looks like this:Not a single report is saying anything about D&D having consecutive releases. We're talking about a single film.

It's not wild speculation, just realistic.
Yeah, this is what I've been saying for a couple weeks now.
Like I said, I don't know what the schedule is going to look like, all I know is what RJ said, which is not an ancient statement by any means. So until we have more information on what's happening with his projects, I would abstain from jumping to conclusions.If it's not consecutive releases then it looks like this:
2021: Avatar 2
2022: SW D&D
2023: Avatar 3
2024: SW RJ
2025: Avatar 4
2026: SW D&D 2
Does it make sense to you that the next D&D movie would be in 2026? That the second part of RJ's trilogy would be in 2028? A full four years after the first? If there's only two D&D movies then RJ's trilogy would end in 2030. 2030.
I said RJ wasn't mistaken or lying but this schedule is just not realistic, the plans must have changed since then. Either RJ and D&D's movies are one or there isn't a written and directed RJ trilogy.
Yeah, if RJ is still onboard for something then it will be helping D&D with the first movie be it co-writing or just directing. It could be possible that he sticks around to do others but we're no longer going to get a D&D series of films AND a Rian Johnson's lead trilogy. It's literally impossible with the schedule Disney has set.Still sticking with my prediction that Rian is going to direct the first one with him sharing co-writing credits with D&D.
Then hes out. LF loss I guess.

No, I'm not.
For all we know, they're initially doing a one off film, if plans are changing as much as they are. The information very clearly says the first FILM is going to be D&D. RJ says he's still working on his projects. I think, if they were doing consecutive films, a trilogy or whatever else that ends up being connected narratively, we would have gotten a FILMS or series, or trilogy, not just singular.No, I'm not.
Read the post above, if it's not in succession then it even makes less sense.
No, I'm not.

This is what MSW previously reported:
I did wait and see, just the other day I was talking about KK's recent meeting and had hope that RJ's trilogy was happening.Which is why I keep saying to wait and see instead of doom and glooming shit.
If they're doing every consecutive SW film (or at least the next three), why is it being reported that they're doing the first film and not films? And why is RJ casually rebuffing rumors that his work is cancelled? Why is MSW still insisting that his projects haven't been cancelled?I did wait and see, just the other day I was talking about KK's recent meeting and had hope that RJ's trilogy was happening.
I can't look at that schedule, what Bob said today, and convince myself that somehow two series are gonna happen. It makes no sense. It's not wild speculation, it's not doom and gloom, it's looking at a schedule that physically does not allow for there to be two series. It just doesn't.
YouTubers and bloggers immediately began declaring that these announced films could only be the highly anticipated series being written and produced by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the producers of the mega-hit TV series Game of Thrones.
Didnt Rian say like 2 weeks ago he's still working on Star Wars
And didn't Kennedy say he's still working on Star Wars like 2 weeks before that?
Yall gotta relax
the best I can hope for (again, I know im probably just reacting in crisis mode) is that those 2 dudes wanted to be done with the thankless task of completing the behemoth saga that thrones is and has become, and may have some spark for a new project, but then i remember they wanted to do that shit confederacy show.
That is classified informationI'll relax if you let us know what the upcoming FromSoftware project is
One thing I am sure of, Rian's not doing a trilogy that starts in 2028. That's completely unrealistic.
A and B are the most likely scenarios while I don't think C is possible since they would've announced them with the rest of their slate. It would seem weird for Disney to release that schedule only for them to then update it with more Star Wars films. SW's scheduling seems to be a very important thing to them, so them slatting in more Star Wars films after all of this seems haphazardly.I'm inclined to think it's one of these scenarios:
a) Rian is out, D&D's trilogy is what was dated for 2022, 24, 26
b) the projects have merged in some way -- maybe Rian is co-writing D&D's film(s) and/or directing one of them
c) Rian's films will be released in undated spots (May?) in the odd-numbered years marked for Avatar
I basically agree, which is why I put it last haha. I don't think it's totally impossible -- they've changed the release dates for every one of the ST films after all -- but I do think it's unlikely they'll drop Star Wars in summer again in those off years after Solo.A and B are the most likely scenarios while I don't think C is possible since they would've announced them with the rest of their slate.

Yeah, I think Solo really shook Bob Iger, so he never wants a repeat of that.I basically agree, which is why I put it last haha.

On the other, I just had the opportunity to politely ask someone why exactly Star Wars needs a decade off from theatrical releases. Hopefully I'll at least get an answer to a question that truly boggles my mind.
Lol. The real answer is that SW doesn't need 10 years off. Honestly, with the films we've gotten since Disney, it felt like we were just getting started. Felt that way for me probably because of all the stuff you can explore with the SW universe. There's so much history and time periods, nevermind the amount of characters. They could even explore different genres of films kinda what the MCU is doing, maybe make a western or a samurai film or horror or political thriller. There's so much you can do with Star Wars. Hopefully they branch out and get some projects lined up.On the one hand I'm once again beating myself up over the decision to venture into any Star Wars thread besides this one.

While that's probably true, I'm not sure how much better the picture looks if Solo goes up against Aquaman and loses that box office race either.Yeah, I think Solo really shook Bob Iger, so he never wants a repeat of that.
Things would look VERY different right now if Solo had released in December and had a normal marketing push out.
I agree. Rian was tapped to write his trilogy before TLJ came out. There's no way there's going to be a decade in-between Rian first starting work on it and the first film coming out. Even 2024 seems like too far out. He's not going to wait around for 5 years, he'll direct other stuff like Knives Out, but then what if the scheduling with one of these other commitments doesn't work around Star Wars?

c) Rian's films will be released in undated spots (May?) in the odd-numbered years marked for Avatar
And I think that's probably in order of likelihood too. Just don't see a situation where Rian's trilogy is 5-10 years away.

I honestly believe those people are vampires that never age.
Most people are worried it seems.
You can't take the schedule as evidence that there are no other slots for potential SW movies. Unless you think the MCU is about to dry up then we already know for a fact that the schedule does not offer a complete window of all potential plans. beyond the next two years or so.After Solo, there's no way they put another Star Wars film in the spring. All of this is happening because of Solo's performance, they want to stick to December.
And if it was coming later then, I dunno, I can't see RJ working on Star Wars until 2030 or something.
I'm one of the biggest RJ fanboys on here, it honestly feels like a kick in the balls for his movies to not happen, but there's no way we get a written and directed RJ trilogy anymore.
