Rian Johnson is developing a brand new trilogy of Star Movies:
Announced by Disney CEO Bob Iger during an conference call discussing Disney’s financial year 2017. An official statement was then quickly posted confirming the news, and that Johnson’s trilogy—being produced with Ram Bergman—will be separate from the Skywalker Saga of move the prequel, original, and sequel trilogys, and “introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored”. |
Also looks like we'll get a Star Wars TV show:
Alongside the trilogy of movies, Iger also confirmed that a live action Star Wars TV series was currently being developed by Disney, and will exclusively premiere through Disney’s planned streaming service, set to launch in 2019. It was previously confirmed that the Star Wars movies would be leaving Netflix and other streaming services to find a new home on Disney’s in-development platform, but now they will be joined by an exclusive live-action venture. The service is set to launch in 2019, but a date for the Star Wars TV series was not revealed. |

Using the Star Wars property to create an instant base who would very likely subscribe is genius, but only if the content is good enough to get high reviews. Lots of pressure on Disney to get this right.
As for me, I won't be subscribing anytime soon. Too many monthly subscriptions as it is - got to start cutting some of them off.
Disney is def trying to compete with Netflix. Its why they are trying to acquire all of the Fox properties. As a marvel fan im really hoping this happens.
I agree the freedom to break from the original stories should be a blessing...no longer obsessed with planting tons of easter eggs and matching up storylines
Fuck off.
