Around the time that some fans were having a meltdown over Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm were planning to piss them off even further with a whole new trilogy helmed by Johnson<\/a>. Over time, the conversation surrounding the trio of Star Wars adventures faded, with many assuming that Disney\u2019s about-face from The Last Jedi signaled that the studio was no longer interested in making Johnson\u2019s trilogy. But that wasn\u2019t the whole story. So what happened to Johnson\u2019s trilogy? According to a new interview with Rolling Stone<\/a>, \u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite sending fans into an unending spiral of pain for suggesting Star Wars could be irreverent instead of a series of endless lore dumps, Johnson says that he and Lucasfilm \u201chad a great time working together.\u201d \u201cThey said, \u2018Let\u2019s keep doing it,\u2019 and I said, \u2018Great!’\u201d After kicking some ideas around with Kathleen Kennedy, Knives Out happened, and Johnson \u201cwas off to the races, busy making murder mysteries\u201d while ignoring the biggest mystery of all: What happened to the trilogy? \u201cNothing really happened with it,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cIt\u2019s the sort of thing if, down the line, there\u2019s an opportunity to do it, or do something else in Star Wars, I would be thrilled.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of right now, Johnson is \u201cpretty happy\u201d doing his own stuff. He also doesn\u2019t think too deeply about the backlash to his Star Wars film, admitting that he and his friends were \u201cPrequel Hate Central\u201d back in the day. \u201cCulture-war garbage aside,\u201d Johnson believes that the \u201cpush and pull\u201d of being a Star Wars hater is a \u201chealthy part\u201d of being a Star Wars fan. Indeed, arguing about Star Wars is an essential part of liking it. If only so many Bothans hadn\u2019t had to die as a result of Luke enjoying some delicious and nutritious green milk.<\/p>\n
