Isn’t the Rey movie episode 10 in all but name. But they are tiptoeing around it. I guess you can consider Starfighter to be episode 9.5 since it is post Rise of Skywalker.
And Mando and Grogu is Mandoverse.
Yeah but that’s if the Rey movie ever materialises. I could imagine them just dropping the episode/trilogy format.
All I’m hearing is “On count of 3! Okay 1, 2…two and a half…I REALLY MEAN IT NOW! …two and three quarters…”

SW needs to take a break, could be ten years, could be fifteen or twenty, and just let demand grow again.
I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.
Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.
My movie reviews aren’t AI, they’re just written by someone who’s Neurodivergent. If you don’t like them, then simply don’t read them.
I disagree I’d like to see another Star Wars within my lifetime. Who knows if I have decades left, god willing. But I may not. I’d like to enjoy life and smell the roses, so to speak, while I still can.
I’d also like an X-men film I don’t have to wait another ten years for, and can we please get a Star Trek film.
If they aren’t making that Rey movie please let Daisy know and stop gaslighting the fans, and KK please retire.
I’m somewhat pleased there was a new Superman film, can’t wait for a Supergirl and Wonder Woman movie. And another James Bond. I’m even looking forward to the Hunt For Gollum but have no idea what to expect with Andy Serkis not Peter Jackson directing. Looking forward to Avengers doomsday, maybe I’m setting myself up again, Disney is known to disappoint. With few exceptions Like Alien and Predator, and Planet of the Apes franchises. Fox films.
Will there be another JJ Abrams Star Trek, that is as nebulous as Disney and The Rey Skywalker movie. I don’t hardly trust Simon Kinberg with anything that is not X-men related. Even there he had his hands in X-men The Last Stand and Dark Phoenix and 4-Tastic. With Star Wars and Star Trek, please.
Seems to me that whatever Rey’s next thing ends up being, it’ll be released as Episode 10. Disney consider her an asset to use, but slapping a number on is an easy way to generate more interest. By the time the film happens it will be a decent gap since the last one too.
Simon Kinberg is such a hack though. Surely Star Wars can do better. I can’t believe he continues to fail upward.
I dunno, maybe combining Obaid-Chinoy’s and and Kinberg’s and Levy’s takes on whatever they want the “post-saga” story to be could end up as a good thing. We all complained that George surrounded himself with yes men when he made the prequels, but I don’t exactly consider the sequel trilogy the most collaborative project either.
Look at how Cameron handled the Avatar sequels. The writers broke the story together and then were each assigned an individual film for which to write a screenplay. That would’ve been a great way to go about making the prequel and sequel trilogies, I’d only add that each film should’ve had a different director.
Rogue One and Solo, messy as they are, are examples of how intervention from the producers can actually turn out well. The difference this time around will be that rather than retooling these films after principle photography, they go through different writers and directors before greenlighting anything. That’s not necessarily a bad approach, it’s just that they’ve had to spin their wheels with the endless streaming shows in the meantime which has been incredibly hit or miss.
That actually brings me to what I’d do, and it’s what I think George should’ve done with the franchise after the mid-80’s. He actually had the right idea with the Ewoks tv movies and the Ewoks and Droids animated shows. Those all told fun side stories that would never contradict a continuation of the main saga. I know George claims he’d decided in ‘83 to officially make VI the end of the story and didn’t change his mind until decades later, and I’ll take his word for it, but either way he should’ve just stayed away from the post-RotJ era altogether and not authorized any media telling the further adventures of our heroes. As big of a deal as Episode VII was when it actually ended up getting made, it could’ve taken on mythic status had the fans been left without the pre-existing old “legends” EU to compare it against.
Instead, and this applies to the current state of things as well, jumping back into the past and telling stories set thousands of years earlier and sticking only to that era would’ve been a much bolder move. I know that’s antithetical to how franchises operate, yeah you always want to please these fans and those fans, but storytelling shouldn’t get sacrificed on the altar of marketability.
If they’re really going to make Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi film, I’d almost say just make that the new saga and stick to that era. They’ve had so much time to figure out the Rey movie that I’d just say make it the definitive epilogue to I-IX and leave that time period in the galaxy far, far away alone forever.
Yeah, but they had the High Republic era and project luminous and after five years they’ve abandoned it. On the heels mind you, of the Acolyte being cancelled. There are no films in that era. I don’t see what placing a film at the Dawn of the Jedi, how that somehow miraculous fixes the fan discontent with Disney. The lack of adherence to canon, or any sense they’ve planned or outlined anything, have finally figured out how to build out a story and do world building. and aren’t just throwing stuff at a wall to see what sticks. Like a blindfolded person throwing darts trying to hit a bullseye.
They always do random things then try to get the comics writers and novelists to fill in the blanks, or to get the story group to claim it all makes sense. Of course we have a plan, right. I don’t believe that with somehow Palpatine returned.
I feel bad for the Disney EU writers who have to retcon or make sense of one of the bad movies. Where the director didn’t do his homework. And the story group allowed them to do whatever they wanted. With no regard to the legacy of SW, or its characters, or its own separate internal laws of how it all works.
put the st andor and the acolyte in a alternate timeline and not caring what the andor fanboys think and reboot the st andor and the acolyte
