It wasn't even that long ago that Rian re-confirmed that he's still working on it. I'm going to need a way more credible source to even consider that there's been a change.

Star Wars |OT2| This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them! [OPEN TROS SPOILERS | TAG MANDO SPOILERS]

Kathy Kennedy even herself reconfirmed it like two weeks ago lol
dream director for me would probably be Alfonso Cuaron
I could see Sofia Coppola bang out a good one. She's even a fan afaik
IIRC, Del Toro pitched to Lucasfilm a Godfather-like film about Jabba the Hutt. I'd still like to see that, or better yet as a Disney+ series.
There is really no reason for Disney to cancel anything from RJ without seeing a script. Scripts are cheap in the grand scheme of things so they aren't out much by taking a wait and see attitude.
Now if RJ wanted to bail because he had zero desire to deal with more toxic Star Wars fandom then I would get that. But if he's still game it only makes sense to let him at least write a draft.
Plus, let's be real, it's not like D&D's work with GOT is getting a better reception from *that* fanbase.

If RJ's movies had gotten the axe, which I doubt, then I would lose all confidence in Disney and Lucasfilm because it would mean that 2 weeks after getting D&D and RJ together to talk about the next ten years, and then announcing 3 movies until 2026, then RJ's movies got cancelled. If you make those types of decisions in under 2 weeks then you're goddamn insane.
Which means that if RJ's movies were donzo, then they were donzo a while ago and RJ wouldn't have been in that meeting with D&D and KK 2 weeks ago.

Patty Jenkins. But not before she directs the Superman movie I was born to write.
Ryan Coogler
Ava DuVernay
After A Wrinkle in Time(one of the worst movies of 2018) I hope she improves a lot.
Fans who do fan films really are incapable of getting Star Wars I have noticed over the years. The only good ones are the comedy ones.
Really great from a technical perspective....but that isn't Star Wars. It's a video game cinematic.
I was more impressed with this last year when it was just a short scene. It now feels overly long.
I must say though, the team (person?) behind this are crazy talented.
I feel the exact same way, and felt like a crazy person reading the gushing over it online. Technically impressive and really well put together? Absolutely. But it has none of the tension to something like the Luke/Vader duel on Cloud City. Too flashy for its own good.
Yep. Really well put together and technically impressive but there is zero emotion. Zero tension. Its all flash.
The comments to the video are full of endless "THIS IS WHAT WE WANTED FROM LUKE IN THE TLJ FUCK YOU DISNEY" type comments of course.
Pretty much, as I pointed out in the thread for this video I'm impressed it wasn't shot in the woods like most lightsaber videos on YouTube
If that actually happened in a movie I couldn't help myself from making some kind of loud guffaw
I'll admit, a part of me made that thread because I knew the shitstorm it would cause.
I did not expect for it go for 35 pages though.
Really cool for a fan project, but it's like they didn't watch the OT for reference. Those moving camera shots don't jive with that classic cinematography. Should have used Empire as inspiration, not the prequels.
That fan made Obi-Wan and Darth Vader fight obviously goes too far in some spots, most notably the Force pushes and punching. That seems a bit too goofy.
They did, however, do a really good job making the Lightsabers feel heavy and brutal as all hell, which I enjoyed. Like, if someone fights in a small room with Lightsabers, then that mothafucka needs to be destroyed and onfire by the end of the fight.
It would've been honestly, genuinely great, if they had shown a bit of restraint. It's still the best fan Lightsaber duel I've seen, though.

Technically it's impressive and I totally agree with the weight/feel of the sabers/fight in general (for the most part anyway) but they chose the wrong scene to rebuild a saber battle for. Obi/Vader didn't need a replacement, it just needed like one or two moments shot/touched up a little better. To upend the tone/feel/pacing of the film in that way is honestly comical.
Also the dialogue is stereotypically terrible.
Hahaha....I remember this shit.
Darth Talon is what you get when you let a horny teenager create a SW character.
It's certainly "hot," I'll give it that! (Seriously, how does she still have a tongue?)
Licking it very VERY VERY lightly of course. I am presuming that she is just a natural at this. :P
Hmm... fam. The Last Jedi is my favorite Star Wars film of all time. I want Rian's trilogy as much as any sane Star Wars fan out there. I usually don't buy into Campea's "scoops". But let's take some things in consideration here:
Dude indeed has sources. He indeed broke the scoop that Affleck was out ages ago, when nobody believed him. I'm inclined to believe at the very least that this is indeed the GoT guys trilogy, instead of Rian's. I know that I don't post here often, but yeah, at face value this isn't good. The fact that any of the trade guys didn't came forward to debunk it either. Dude might be indeed an asshole if some rumors about him are true, but it's not like he doesn't have some legit sources. He does.
Unless if he still has input, but that isn't his trilogy any longer, but the GoT guys. I don't know, I have no trust whatsoever on the GoT guys, and I love Rian's vision to Star Wars to death. I don't think he is going away anytime soon, but based on Campea's current tracking record of very few and in between "scoops", I have to give him the benefit of the doubt here. I'm quite sure that RJ is still working at least in some capacity.

RJ and KK have confirmed plenty of times that RJ's trilogy is still on. They're not going to re-issue a statement every Friday.
This is the guy who insured Snoke was Plagueis in Force Awakens and waved art from an old EU novel of Plaguies on screen (which looks nothing like Snoke) and insisted it was actual production art from TFA.
He has no sources. No credibility. A complete joke. When it comes to Lucasfilm.

Lmao yes
But the sad truth is that horny teen is probably a 40 year old white guy

JJ has said that Ava's input was really important for TFA. I'd love to see her make one.
Ah, he did? I didn't know that, interesting. Still though, I just hope it turns out fine.
On the blu-ray commentary JJ said this shot (the close-up of Rey striking)
Was the result of reshoots and a specific suggestion from Ava.
