Rian Johnson Says His Scrapped Star Wars Trilogy Was Very Conceptual

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Rian Johnson, director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, shared some details on his rumoured Star Wars trilogy, stating “Nothing really happened with it”.

“Nothing really happened with it,” Johnson said. “We had a great time working together, and they said, ‘Let’s keep doing it.’ I said, ‘Great!’ I would kick ideas around with Kathy. The short version is ‘Knives Out’ happened. I went off and made ‘Knives Out,’ and was off to the races, busy making murder mysteries. It’s the sort of thing if, down the line, there’s an opportunity to do it, or do something else in ‘Star Wars,’ I would be thrilled. But right now I’m just doing my own stuff, and pretty happy.”

Johnson added that his trilogy was “all very conceptual” and that he never developed an “outline or a treatment or anything” for the project.
