US EditionRian 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 in a recent interview that he never created an outline or treatment for his planned Star Wars trilogy, describing it as all very conceptual.
- Johnson and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy had been developing ideas for a trilogy, but the project did not advance beyond early discussions as Johnson shifted focus.
- After directing 2017's The Last Jedi, Johnson concentrated on his original murder mystery Knives Out and its sequels, which delayed further Star Wars work.
- Johnson expressed willingness to return to Star Wars in the future if the opportunity arises, while currently stating he is happy working on his own projects.
- Given the trilogy's conceptual status and Johnson's focus on other films, it may be some time before he directs another Star Wars film, although Lucasfilm’s Star Wars plans continue.
