He hadn't really thought about them until he sat down to do them though. He said that something like 80% of his ideas about the prequels ended up in RotS.
Hence why Dooku shows up in AotC when he shouldve been in TPM.
STAR WARS: EPISODE IX gets a new writer: Jack Thorne

He made it up as he went with no actual plan.
Then we are truly in for a ride.
Okay, Lucasfilm then, instead of Disney. There's just a lot of smoke over the last year from the re-shoots of Rogue One to the Solo movie stuff surfacing that I'm expecting fire every second now.
It's really nice that doesn't seem to be the case though!

Kathleen Kennedy is arguably the most acclaimed and well-accredited human being in Hollywood.
Everyone has missteps, but she shits gold.
I mean even so with Rogue One, that film pretty much shut down all the worry pretty quickly. It had very strong acclaim. A troubled production yet it had great reviews and strong word of mouth and great legs at the box-office.
95% of blockbuster films wish they were as well received as Rogue One lol.
The narrative is that Rian is pretty good and Colin isn't so good, which is true.
Ah, gotcha. Apologies, I didn't initially see your point from that perspective.

Really? Is Star Wars now a series where characters are "killed off"?
Star Wars films usually kill off one of the films heroes in each film.
Only counting characters who had lead or large roles as heroes in the series:
A New Hope - Killed Obi-Wan
The Empire Strikes Backs - None
Return of the Jedi - Killed off Anakin & Yoda
The Phantom Menace - Killed off Qui-Gon
Attack of the Clones - Killed off Shmi
Revenge of the Sith - Killed off Mace
The Force Awakens - Killed off Han
Rogue One - Goes without saying lol.
Only 1 of the 8 films have yet to kill off a good guy character that had significant screentime.

Now, is this just speculation based off your love for Johnson, or does it have basis in what you're being told by people in the know?

Uh oh
Wonder what the discussion was like with Trevorrow because this didn't happen to J.J. or Johnson (who they adore to death).
This is a rewrite of his latest draft by the way which takes into account ideas all of them had after Fisher's death.

I have no desire for whatever Colin Trevorrow is serving up, distinct or otherwise.
True, but that was a very different time with a very different set up. It seems that the only real constant in these films will be Kennedy and Kasdan.
