Rian Johnson Reveals He Never Made an Outline or Treatment For His Star Wars Trilogy: 'All Very Conceptual'
JUL 13 – Rian Johnson's planned Star Wars trilogy stayed at the conceptual stage with no scripts or outlines as he shifted focus to the successful Knives Out series, he said.
- Rian Johnson revealed that his planned Star Wars trilogy, announced by Lucasfilm in November 2017, never progressed beyond early concepts.
- Johnson and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy discussed ideas for three films, but Johnson said, "Nothing really happened with it," and no outlines were made.
- After directing 2017's The Last Jedi, Johnson shifted focus to his own projects, notably the murder mystery Knives Out, released in 2019.
- Johnson expressed that he would be excited to revisit the Star Wars universe in the future if the chance arises, but at the moment, he is content focusing on his own projects.
- The stalled trilogy suggests Lucasfilm’s Star Wars plans continue without Johnson’s involvement for now, while his Knives Out series prepares a new film for December release.
