Star Wars: The Last Jedi Director Open to Making a TV Series

With it being five years since writer/director Rian Johnson delivered audiences Star Wars: The Last Jedi, fans have wondered if he had more stories to tell in the galaxy far, far away, and Johnson has recently confirmed that, for the right story, he could see himself pivoting to the small screen.

When asked by The Hollywood Reporter if he would do a Star Wars TV series, Johnson confirmed,"I would do a Star Wars anything. And if I had an idea that I was excited about, that worked better as a show than a movie, I'd do it that way. At the moment, we're in between making the next Benoit Blanc movie and thinking about Poker Face. I keep getting together with [Lucasfilm president] Kathy [Kennedy] and having conversations.

Following the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm was releasing one Star Wars film a year, up until 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. At this point, it's unknown what the next theatrical offering will be, all while the studio's slate of live-action TV shows continues to expand.

Even though it's been years since Johnson's trilogy was announced, it's clear there's no love lost between him and the studio and that he's as passionate about the franchise as ever. When asked by The New Yorker recently if he still gets excited about the franchise as a fan, Johnson proclaimed,"Oh, f-ck yeah. Yeah. My God. Yeah. In terms of that, I think I love Star Wars even more now. I think what actually frustrates me is people's perception that I had a negative experience somehow, or people's perception that it was somehow a traumatic experience, or something.

So his trilogy is not happening, cool.

Okay? That’s the worst Star Wars movie ever

Nope

Plz no

No!!!
