Rian Johnson Says His Scrapped ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy Was ‘Very Conceptual’ and ‘Never’ Had an ‘Outline or Treatment or Anything’: ‘Nothing Really Happened With It’


Rian Johnson says he scrapped 'Star Wars' trilogy was 'very conceptual' and 'never' had an 'outline or treatment or anything.'

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Johnson, who directed 2017’s “The Last Jedi,” lifted the curtain on his long-rumored “Star Wars” trilogy that never got off the ground. He explained that at the time, he and Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy were developing ideas for the three-film saga. Back in 2022, Johnson said he “would be sad” if he never directed a “Star Wars” film again, but added “it wouldn’t be the end of the world for anyone.”
