Star Wars: So, That 2022 Film Is Still Coming, But Not From Rian Johnson

Remember once upon a time where we knew when several Star Wars films were coming out and a basic idea of what they would be? Yeah, those were the days. Now, we have one movie coming up, and while we have 2022, 2024, and 2026 December dates on the way for the franchise, we have no idea what kind of movies they will be, who will develop them, who will direct them, or how they will connect to the universe as a whole.

As we reported earlier this week, those aforementioned dates were actually retained by Disney. Though they shifted around several dates, they allowed those Star Wars dates to remain. But who in the world would actually be developing or directing them?

As was announced late last month, the Game of Thrones duo David Benioff and D.B. Weiss exited their trilogy for Lucasfilm, and that seemed to only leave Rian Johnson as the lone wolf left with a trilogy in his hands. But would Lucasfilm actually go through with his movies so soon after his polarizing The Last Jedi entry?

THR is reporting Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy has a director lined up for the 2022 film, but who can it be? Sources tell the outlet that this movie is NOT being developed by Rian Johnson, but we don’t know who it is, and unfortunately, there is no planned announcement until January of next year, which makes sense, since the studio won’t want to detract from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which will put a cap on the nine-film Skywalker Saga.

So, who do you think Lucasfilm has on deck for this 2022 film, and do you think it’ll be more than a standalone feature? Let us know your thoughts down below!
