Rian Johnson trilogy canceled

I honestly would prefer going in a completely new direction. And not to the KOTOR period. It was a fun game, but let's see something new. But if we had to do an existing character, Leia's story between ROTJ and TFA would probably be pretty interesting.
 
Maul and Qi'ra should get a story of their own. I like Ray Park and Emilia Clarke enough to want to see a Crimson Dawn storyline of some kind.

Meh. I like Emilia Clarke in interviews, but, I find her pretty lacking on screen. I'm still tempted to see Last Christmas--even though the reviews have been terrible because I bet comedies might be her thing. Drama--and yes, I know she was on Game of Thrones--doesn't quite seem to be her bag.

And her character in Solo was ok. But, I also think it was a pretty poorly written movie.

I guess Solo might have soured the milk, but I'd really like to see Leia's story.
Leia's backstory was already covered in the book Leia: Princess of Alderaan.
I'd be quite satisfied if they excised the Jedi stuff permanently. I sincerely hope at the end of ROTS Part Deux that the Jedi are no longer a going concern.
I really can't see them getting never featuring the Jedi again after The Rise of Skywalker, they're just to much of a core part of the franchise for them to just drop them. From a purely personal standpoint, I love all the Jedi stuff, so I wouldn't want to see it go away, it's one of the most unique things about the franchise.

Technically that would be Ray Park, Sam Witwer and Emilia Clarke. Ray Park did Maul's body, but Sam Witwer came back from The Clone Wars and Rebels to do Maul's voice again.
 
He's an off-beat storyteller, so it is really hard to guess where his talents would be best utilized? Maybe a Force-enabled smuggler, the Star Wars underworld, and things along those lines.
A Stormtrooper movie that explores how they transitioned out of clones to basically human slaves. The stormtroopers being victims was first explored in TCW but their whole story hasn't been explored. Jason

One of the games, can't remember if it was pre or post EU brought it up. The clones started to be unreliable and Palpy grew less enamored and started conscripting. As far as the First Order goes, no idea.
 
With Star Wars I don’t do books. If it’s not on film it didn’t happen.
But at the moment Lucasfilm says the books are equal to the movies, so that means they probably won't be covering ground that the books already covered. Obviously one book isn't going to have covered her whole life so there are lots of ways to get around it, but the book appears to have covered how she got involved with the Rebellion, and that is probably what Leia origin movie would be about.

Battlefront II (the first one) has that 501st journal as part of the main game story. In it, there is an effort to create a Clone Army to fight against the Empire by the Kaminoans. Because of that issue the Emperor didn't trust a clone army with one genetic template. So, he went to conscripts.

At least, that's the one I can think of.

They could just adapt the book. It’s not like millions of people read it.
 
In other news, Rian Johnson’s trilogy? Still not canceled.
That we know of. Obviously Kennedy/Disney would avoid dropping such a bad news bomb on Johnson just as his new movie comes out if they could help it, and they've publicly fired enough directors lately without doing so again right before TROS' release. This isn't an election; they're not forced to disclose major decisions as they make them. We shall see...

As we’ve gotten into it previously, Johnson and Kennedy have both discussed this in the past few months. There’s no reason to believe otherwise until we have evidence. We don’t. Except for a lot of unnamed sources from YouTube.
 
Sam Witwer is always a good addition to the Star Wars franchise, either as Starkiller or Maul.

Which begs the question why the question would even be out there. "That we know of" seems to cast doubt where there is no cause for doubt. Until we see an official announcement (which I submit is, indeed, possible) then no news is no news.
