Oh, and if you were expecting ---- Skywalker, they aren't in it. It's essentially an anthology film.

Is that such a bad thing? Star Wars is a huge world; it hardly needs to follow the one family. Rogue One didn't, and that was an all right film.

When i saw the clip on youtube from the star wars channel they said it will take place in a part of the star wars galaxy thats not been touched before, so... i guess part of the unknown regions or something like that.

Or maybe a different time period.

Rian Johnson is to create an entire trilogy of Star Wars movies in the future.

Great, Disneys milking the name now. been milking the franchise ever since they bought it.

Tbh, you don't need Skywalkers in the franchise for it to be SW, the games, cinematics, and multiple CW episodes have proven that you can do it. (Seriously, if you haven't, go watch TOR's cinematics, they're amazing and are only about an hour long in total).

Don't watch it, then?

Also, arguing that the sequel trilogy is about the legacy of Darth Vader is a hell of a fucking stretch, considering only one episode's out and so far Vader is really only a motivation for one character.

If I recall, none of what you mentioned is the trilogies/trilogy trilogy.

While they had the main story, the games, tv series/meh cartoon film and other media added to the background of the story, added many other stories and basically helped make the lore as vast and fascinaing as it was before Disney picked up a huge eraser.

I reiterate my earlier statement, I see you actually haven't seen any of those.

Would not care in the slightest if the skywalkers were not even mentioned in the trilogy Johnson would be doing. And this new trilogy would not have to tie in to three we already have anyway, it can stand on its own, and having the skywalkers in it is not a requirement.

Agreed, some of the best stories in the Star Wars mythos didn't involve the Skywalkers.

Do many people here want to see a Jabba the Hutt movie?

There is rumor that one is being made with his criminal rise, being the main story. With Hutts anyway, the fatter they are and the more henchmen they have- the more powerful they are. A Hutt that is truly prominent has all of their needs tended to by others such as Twi'lek sex slaves and effectively don't have to lift a finger to get anything done.

It could be good, but I don't see him being an especially compelling character. Now, a different hutt rising to prominence in the power vacuum left by Jabba's death and the Empire's fall, a more morally complex, well rounded hutt character, that could be interesting. Not that it would have to be a hutt, but I've always had a soft spot for them.

He's also pretty well covered in canon already. I can't imagine a film would be able to do much without covering already trodden ground, particularly given there's already another book scheduled.
