MOVIE NEWS
From Collider: Rian Johnson’s Star Wars Trilogy Has Been Delayed at Lucasfilm. It’s been five years since The Last Jedi released stellar reviews but divided fans right down the middle. At that time, Johnson’s trilogy was quietly put on the back-burner, which is apparently where it's staying. Kathline Kennedy In her own words stated: “Rian has been unbelievably busy with Knives Out and the deal that he made at Netflix for multiple movies... I hesitate to use the word trilogies anymore because Star Wars is much more about persistent storytelling.”

From Vanity Fair: An exclusive look at the master plan for Obi-Wan Kenobi with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, Andor with Diego Luna, Ahsoka with Rosario Dawson—and a fleet of new shows. BY ANTHONY BREZNICAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANNIE LEIBOVITZ. We start with everyone’s favorite The Sith, Darth Vader: In the new show Obi-Wan Kenobi, the lord of the dark side hunts his old mentor, setting up their fateful confrontation in 1977’s Star Wars. Reva the Inquisitor: Moses Ingram costars as a fearsome exterminator of Jedi, wielding a double-bladed spinning lightsaber. Obi-Wan Kenobi premieres May 27. Obi-Wan Kenobi: In the eponymous new show, Ewan McGregor reprises his role as the young(er) version of Alec Guinness’s wise old man, now in exile in the desert. The next image features Mon Mothma: In Andor, Genevieve O’Reilly’s galactic senator secretly leads an uprising against the Empire. Cassian Andor: Diego Luna stars as a man who believes in nothing but eventually risks everything to aid the Rebellion. Andor premieres late summer 2022. Din Djarin: Pedro Pascal’s bounty hunter, a.k.a. the Mandalorian, has such an orthodox devotion to his culture that he only takes off his helmet in dire circumstances. Season three of The Mandalorian returns in late 2022 or early 2023. Ahsoka Tano: Rosario Dawson’s alien warrior is deeply attuned to the Force, but some fans call her a “gray” Jedi, because she doesn’t commit to absolutes like her brethren. Ahsoka is scheduled to premiere in 2023
From The Hollywood Reporter: ‘Spider-Man’ Director Jon Watts to Helm Coming-of-Age ‘Star Wars’ Disney+ Series. The streaming news comes almost a month after it was announced the filmmaker was exiting Marvel's 'Fantastic Four.' Still mostly under wraps, Watts’ series — “code name: Grammar Rodeo, a reference to an episode of The Simpsons in which Bart and his schoolmates steal a car and run away for a week” — was described in Vanity Fair as in the tone of a classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure film of the ’80s. Watts’ show will take place closely after the events of Return of the Jedi, much the same way as The Mandalorian, as far as time period.
