The pop culture world was just rocked with the news that a new trilogy of Star Wars films is in development from Disney, with The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson helping with development.
“We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.”

The expansion of #StarWars storytelling confirms the brilliance of George Lucas to not name that first movie Star War.

The Rian Johnson trilogy not only gets me so hyped because it’s new characters, but also because it tells me they feel great about The Last Jedi. #StarWars
