Honestly, I’d just give up on the whole project. It’s hopeless without such a key player.
Would you dial back the negative waves? They finished principal photography on Episode 8 you know.
Good! But they’ll have to cancel Episode 9.
They have to? Damn, dude, get a grip. You’re not the only one to be upset about this. Carrie would have not wanted that her fans and SW fans in general to be denied more movies just because of her. She knows the films are important to many and she would never deny making them because of her. We all wish she could be in the future films but that’s not the case now so deal with it. Same goes to Mark, they both have big hearts and they both would want the series to continue with or without them.
Anyways, I don’t know anything about VIII and hopefully this thread won’t get any spoilers, but I could imagine they have hard decisions to make plot-wise.
