Rian Johnson says that his Star Wars trilogy was “very conceptual” and has never had a pattern or treatment

Rian Johnson has reopened on his Star Wars Trilogy project that was announced after making The last JediBut according to him, nothing has ever happened with the project. He never even passed the conceptual phase.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the Hit The director faced the longtime rumors and the questions of the fans surrounding the project. While it was officially announced, it has never been more than a series of conversations loose with Lucasfilm.

“Nothing really happened with it,” Johnson admitted. “We had a lot of fun working together and said:” We continue to do it. “I said:” Fantastic! “I would have kicked the ideas with Kathy.

“The short version is Hit happened. I went and did HitAnd he was out of the races, committed to making murder mysteries. It is the kind of things if, in line, there is the opportunity to do it or do something else Star WarsI would be electrified. But right now I’m just doing my things and happy enough. “

Johnson’s trilogy was more a placeholder announcement than a project in active development. No scripts, no profile, not even a treatment. While he says, “it was all very conceptual”.

While some fans have long wondered what Johnson could have done with an empty list in a very, very distant galaxy, especially after the polarized response a The last JediHis trilogy has never reached the launch.

In 2022, when Johnson was asked if he could never return to Star Wars Universe, he said: “I would be sad. I love the world. I love people. I love Star Wars fan. I love the passion of how they commit themselves into it.

“There is nothing like telling a story in this world and therefore experimenting with people who connect to it and let you know. It is extraordinary.”

So, will we ever see Johnson return to Star Wars? It is clearly open to it. But for now, his project is literally only ideas that would have had a long way to go to become a reality.
