Recently it was being reported that Disney and Lucasfilm had put future Star Wars anthology projects on hold. Whilst Lucasfilm has denied the reports the fan backlash to the new Star Wars films has been considerably strong that this idea wouldn't be so far-fetched.  After Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017, Rian Johnson)  became a highly divisive film among the fans and then Solo: A Star Wars Story opening at only £83 million worldwide (£50 million less than projected) it wouldn't be a surprise if Disney were concerned with the franchise was being run.  Behind The Scenes The Last Jedi/Fan Backlash This is probably where the fan backlash came from.

As a warning, this post does contain Spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi . So, if you have yet to see the film, look away now! If not then please co

A week after Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World, The Book Of Henry)  stepped down as director of Episode IX it seems that Disney did not take long in finding his replacement. Experienced Star Wars director J.J Abrams (Star Trek, Super 8)  will be stepping in to direct Star Wars: Episode IX (2019) , with screenwriter Chris Terrio (Argo, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice)  co-writing alongside him. Head of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy issued the following statement:     "With The Force Awakens, J.J. delivered everything we could have possibly hoped for, and I am so excited that he is coming back to close out this trilogy" Of course with this hiring there comes pros and cons. Which I will be laying out in this post: Star Wars: The Force Awakens and its success There is no shadow of a doubt that Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) was an iconic moment in Star Wars history. It was the big introduction to the franchise for a whole new generation, it redeemed the fran
