Title helps give insight into what the next one will focus on. Right now we know next to nothing about 9 except that it will tie in all the trilogies and will be the end of the Skywalker saga.

I'm pretty sure it's just that the title is the first thing we're likely to get. No need to make any weird leaps from "people are waiting for the title" to "Ruin Johnson's ruinousness has ruined everything".

If anything, the fact that people are desperate for any scrap of information is indication that they're interested in the next movie.

Or that previous movies have given us so little information/things to be interested in that this is just about all we have at this point.

I don't even know what to say.

I don't think we'll be getting much more information from the title then that tbh seeing as the movie has nowhere to go.

Fucking finally. At long last we may be getting Old Republic movies.

In your opinion.

I'm just asking you to explain what you said. Don't really understand why you're being so difficult about it.

Why not? They created an extremely beloved and critically-acclaimed show.

And fantasy isn't really all that different from sci-fi once you get right down to it.

They adapted someone else's material to create that show, and it markedly declined in quality once they went off-book. And it hasn't even finished yet, so there's no guarantee they'll stick the landing.

They might both be fantasy, but they're wildly different in tone. GoT is notorious for being an adult, sexy, violent show. Star Wars has to be family friendly. GoT is gritty to the point of misanthropy, Star Wars is traditionally idealistic. And that's not even considering that they're going from TV to film.

Really, beyond "they did a fantasy and it was big", I don't see any reason for hiring them in particular. I'm not saying there couldn't be one. Like I said: I'd like to know what the thinking was. Maybe they made a great pitch.

It's not as if "The Force Awakens" gave us much to go on. Maybe a vague theme, but that's it.

The Last Jedi was slightly more descriptive, but still not super useful for guessing what the movie would be about, other than, you know, the last of the Jedi.
