in 4 years the trilogy will conclude, instead of the traditional 6...so if its awesome we wont have wait through that third torturous year between episodes...and if it sucks it will at least go by quickly...kinda like the hobbit. win/win thumb up

I really think TFA will be good. I'm definitely looking forward to it.

So they ARE making a stand alone film... Interesting. So how's that a trilogy then?

Bashar Teg
"trilogy" in this context refers to ep 7, 8, and 9.
so as it officially stands:

2015: ep-7
2016: standalone film
2017: ep-8
2018: ???
2019: ep-9

Ah okay... so five movies in a making. Okay... well, we'll see.

Who is rian Johnson? And does he deserve to touch Star Wars?

presumably. no official announcement for 2018 but it's a safe bet.

he directed 3 breaking bad episodes including 'ozymandias'. that alone is a very impressive bullet-point on his resume.

Oh okay...

If ep7 is gonna be good, then maybe Abrams will do ep8,9. If it sucks, its ruined and won't matter who does the next ones

queeq
Your insights serve you well.

JediRobin23
