Star Wars 8 director Ryan still wants to continue filming the new Star Wars trilogy

Rian Johnson, the screenwriter and director of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", said in an interview with the media recently that he still hopes to continue filming the new Star Wars trilogy, because the official trilogy plan was announced in November 2017, but it was gradually shelved. However, Rian Johnson did not give up.

•One month before the release of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", the official plan for the new Star Wars trilogy was announced, and Rian Johnson would still be the screenwriter and director. However, things would get complicated after the release of the film, which received mixed reviews. This caused Lucasfilm's confidence in Rian to be significantly shaken, and the news of the trilogy was shelved until May of this year, when the boss of Lucasfilm stated that the trilogy plan had not been completely abandoned.

•However, regarding the director, according to the boss of Lucasfilm, Rian Johnson is busy with the production of the second and third parts of "Knives Out" and may be too busy to handle it. This is a euphemism that the new trilogy may not be directed by Rian. In addition, Taika Waititi ("Thor 3", etc.) may be more likely to take over.

• Rian Johnson’s new film “The Glass Onion: Knives Out” will be released exclusively on Netflix on December 23, still starring former “007” Daniel Craig, so stay tuned.
