Colin Trevorrow To Direct 'Star Wars: Episode 9'

http://heroichollywood.com/home-1/2015/7/10/exclusive-colin-trevorrow-to-direct-star-wars-episode-9

Hot off his massive success on Jurassic World , super hot director Colin Trevorrow has bagged his next gig.

Today at the Star Wars Comic Con panel, Lucasfilm will bring out Colin Trevorrow onto the stage at Hall H to announce him as the next director of Star Wars: Episode 9!

JJ Abrams directed Episode 7, Rian Johnson got Episode 8, and now Colin Trevorrow got Episode 9. The trilogy is complete.

Hot choice. Jurassic World has grossed a $1.4 billion dollars around the world and still climbing.

Maybe Rey will ultimately be the one that brings balance.

Trevorrow on Rey

We’re going to make sure that that answer is deeply and profoundly satisfying. Rey is a character that is important in this universe, not just in the context ofThe Force Awakens, but in the entire galaxy. She deserves it. We’ll make sure that that answer is something that feels like it was something that happened a long time ago, far away, and we’re just telling you what happened.

So the release date is May 24th. Disney has a live action fairy tale slatted for Dec. 20 2019. Must be pretty important to bump SW from the xmas break seeing as how they've dominated it. They could always switch it if needed though.

Either that or because of the production schedule worked out that way. Does seem strange they would give up that slot for another one of their properties.

It's for The Lion King.

Woops, Lion King is set for July.

Disney has 2 movies set for December -- this live action fairy tale and Wicked.

A New Hope was released May 24th, they are releasing IX to coincide.

Where did you hear that? I don't think they chose that date because New Hope was released the same day 42 years earlier. More likely they are switching up their schedules since the Han Solo movie is being release in late May in 2018 (the 41st anniversary).

Star Wars Title 9

Rea is escorted into Jedi school by the galactic national guard as the ghosts of Obi Wan and Yoda protest and call her a nerf herder

Sorry, but there will never, ever be anything more shocking than the Vader reveal. Probably just the hype machine kicking in.

Unless Yoda is Snoke??? :biglaugh:


The Most Shocking Truth In Star Wars History Will Soon Be Revealed!


https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/201...romotional-leaflet-teases-shocking-truth.html


itll be something lame like Rea and Kylo will be siblings ala Luke and Lea.


Star Wars has been poured over so heavily be nerds that theres almost nothing that could surprise them. Theyve already figured out all the possible twists. Every possible theory has already been laid out there. Now its just a matter of which nerd gets to claim "I CALLED IT!"

I hpe the reveal is not lame. Honestly, my favorite theory so far is that Snoke really is Darth Plagueis who was the Emperor's master thought to be dead. My thought is AS was allegedly created by Plagueis (because he could create life) and maybe he did so again to create Rey for the same purpose of destroying balance in the force.

Well, I've thought they were cousins or related i some way based on one of TFA's posters that had Rey in blue and Ren in Red divided by a light saber.

I still hope Rey is the ultimate sith, but doubt Disney would go that route.

True, true

Pagueis has been an interesting theory and plausible, but I just think Disney wants to distance this trilogy from the prequels. They're still canon, but the ugly duckling.

OH, how about Snoke was formed out of nothing by midichlorians? Would probably kill the franchise :D
