We discuss comments by Ron Howard and Rian Johnson on the status of potential Star Wars movies and priorities at Lucasfilm.
The past week hasn’t particularly noteworthy as far as Star Wars news is concerned. However, both Ron Howard and Rian Johnson, directors of Solo: A Star Wars Story and The Last Jedi respectively, have recently been asked questions about the status or potential for sequels or other Star Wars movies. Their answers aren’t the most encouraging. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss their comments, the potential for future Star Wars movies, how Disney+ impacts the discussion, and how Marvel and the MCU stack up compared to Star Wars.
In this fully armed and operational podcast, we discuss:
- What we have been up to in the realm of Star Wars in 2023 so far,
- Our initial thoughts on George Mann’s The High Republic: The Battle of Jedha audio drama,
- Rian Johnson’s comments on the status of his long discussed Star Wars trilogy,
- Ron Howard’s comments on the possibility of a sequel to Solo: A Star Wars Story, and
- What the priorities are at Lucasfilm for Star Wars content and future projects plus some ideas we have.
