Daisy Ridley and John Boyega have had ZERO success outside of Star Wars.

Oscar Isaac has had a tad bit of success but he’s a character actor and not even close to being a leading man.

When Taika Watiti, Deborah Chow, Jon Favreau and Ewan McGregor all are signed on, the idea that any A-Listers, let alone B-Listers, would turn down roles, especially prominent roles, is absolutely ludicrous and hilarious simultaneously.

Don’t believe a single word of this nonsense.

Meh, any further movies made by the group you listed wont have anything to do with this sad trilogy.

Kathleen Kennedy is the President of Lucasfilm and therefore, Greenlights and hires everyone involved in Lucasfilm productions.

She has had ZERO issues hiring A List Talent.

Tony Gilroy was hired to write and direct the Rogue One prequel series, who is most definitely an A-lister, with Oscar nominations for writing and directing, which is further proof that the thread starter is completely wrong.

Bob Iger has already publicly stated that all future Star Wars films have been put on indefinite hold, with no film plans beyond Episode IX, so any discussion of X-XII is moot.

Daisy Ridley and John Boyega were nobodies before The Force Awakens and Oscar Isaac wasn't a household name, let alone, a "Movie Star". NONE would refuse to participate if asked in future Star Wars films and if they did, their agent would likely cut them loose.

This thread is just more of the "Star Wars killed my childhood" nonsense.

The only mistake was giving the trilogy to JJ Abrams. He does good work, but he's never really nailed anything outside of, arguably, Mission Impossible. His Star Treks are a bit off and these Star Wars are a bit off. Even with something like Super 8, nothing he does is ever bad, never a disaster, his movies are just always a little short of what they could be. And that's how I look at The Force Awakens, and expect to see with Rise of Skywalker

If there's any truth to the rumor of Favreau getting the next trilogy, I don't think that'll be a problem again. The next thing would be to build them around a stronger character than Rey and a stronger actor than Daisy Ridley. Because for me she's actually been the worst aspect. One note character, wooden delivery.

Anyway, this thread was pretty unnecessary. We all get how you feel about this trilogy and Kennedy. You've been whining about it non-stop for years.

Everyone in town declined to work on Star Wars because of the legacy. Abrams was like their 8th choice.

George had the same issue with the prequels. Zemeckis, Howard, Spielberg and others all turned him down.

Everyone I've spoken with about the next iteration of Star Wars has told me that the idea of Favreau writing a trilogy is false.

But as I've stated earlier on the topic of Star Wars, I cannot guarantee that my info is absolutely 100% correct because disinformation is the word of the day.

I really think the Favreau story was just a reaction to The Mandalorian's success. I don't believe there's anything there, either.

I'm still trying to figure out how they do a trilogy that doesn't involve characters from the original saga.

I think the only thing we know for sure is that Feige is doing some Star Wars movie about something at some time in the future, but it's not the undisclosed Star Wars movie scheduled for 2022 release, that's getting officially accounced after the new year.

What’s Kevin Feiges involvement in these now? I heard he’s working on something with Star Wars? Is that right?

Nah, the first two are just terrible movies.

I'm saying the cast wont be asked back by good directors.

That's an opinion but the box office, Blu Ray and DVD sales, along with Disney Plus subscriptions, differ.

Also, keep in mind that RoS pre-sales have been higher than Avengers: Endgame, which means that there is a huge audience for Episode IX.

If the story requires those characters to return, they'll return. That's not up to the Director and there's zero chance that they'd re-cast those characters.

Josh Trank, Colin Trevorrow, Phil Lord and Chris Miller have all been fired because their direction and/or stories didn't fall inline with the wishes of Lucasfilm. Gareth Edwards, who is credited as Director of Rogue One, isn't returning to the Rogue One Prequel in favor of Tony Gilroy, who wrote and directed approximately 40% of Rogue One instead.

The bottom line is that Lucasfilm will not bow to the wishes of a Director if they're outside the lines drawn by their President and story group.

Yeah, this whole thread seems a bit silly.
