variety.com/2018/film/news/star-wars-game-of-thrones-new-films-david-benioff-db-weiss-1202689489/So apparently this is a thing... Honestly, if it has the same style as Game of Thrones I'm very interested to see what they will do with it... But Disney is planning way too much way too far ahead... They are also working on the Rian Johnson Trilogy, Obi-wan spin-off, episode IX, whatever spin-off comes after that... They need to calm down, this is overkill. If they want to provide us with consistent content they could just have a liveaction TV series.

Dang this is pretty cool. Was worried it was a joke first.
But yes I agree this is overkill. Star Wars isn't like Marvel. I think Star Wars used to be special because every movie was an event, as there were years between them and there weren't many.
The franchise is totally living off its brand name. TLJ's performance in China has shown the new movies are nothing special without the goodwill and nostalgia.

Those two should just make Old Republic films, pretty much a game of thrones type setting anyways.

Honestly just make a live action tv show. If they can create a futuristic cyberpunk world for Altered Carbon they should have no problem creating the settings from Star Wars especially when Disney can put in a lot more money

It's weird with how much they're planning ahead, yet they use no foresight in creating their current trilogy  Part of me hopes (in vain, of course) that this is replacing Johnson's very likely to be lamo trilogy, but even if that were the case it'd still be overdoing it. It'll take a while, but I predict Star Wars' success will end with a whimper and maybe a failed reboot. Because if Disney wants to think real far ahead, then so can I |

I’m just waiting for them to make a direct non-canon remake of Episode IV but with all women and bad jokes.

And it probably would’ve been better if they had more time to write it. Yeah, honestly I have thought about it and I don't think its fair to blame them. George RR Martin has been working on these parts of the story for 7 years and he is still not done. D & D had to do it in a year within the limits of 7 episodes. It was a recipe for disaster. |

IDK how D&D will be able to work against all the quotas, forced diversity, and studio interference. They're used to being able to do whatever they want (sometimes to their detriment) but I don't know if they'll fit into what Disney is doing with Star Wars.

Considering there's now at least 8 films coming out, I think it's very likely we'll be getting 2 Star Wars movies a year (spring release and winter release) beginning either in 2020 or 2021. Sticking to one film per calendar year takes us up to 2025, but I'm sure Disney will announce more plans by the time IX releases. There's still the strong chance that the anthology series will consist of much more than 3 movies, and who knows what else could be in the works.

Even though IX is intended to be the culmination of the Skywalker Saga, it almost seems to be losing some of its significance due to so many other films being planned. They've even got 1 (maybe more) live action series on the way. I like that there are going to be more films to come, but I think part of what made Star Wars so special in the past was that each movie was its own phenomenon. Audiences had to wait 3 years between films, placing more emphasis and importance on each. Now they're starting to spit out content almost like Marvel, and I'm a little worried it may degrade the franchise overall.
That being said, it will take a lot for me to turn on the franchise. Disney has not done anything so far to make me seriously question their capabilities with the saga.

D&D releasing a Star Wars film within a year seems a bit ambitious, despite how fast they can work. I'd guess closer to 2-3 years. Although once IX releases, I wonder if all the films will feel like separate entities in the same universe, or if there will be one (likely Johnson's) that becomes the next "main" installment(s). |

I actually like that they're making more stuff because it expands the universe and tells more stories in a visual format. Before there weren't a whole lot of Star Wars stories being told outside of books

Well D&D are doing their weird Confederate project so maybe that’ll keep them busy for a while.
