I agree, there will be flares, oh yes... there will be flares.
I'll also say that having three different directors was inticing, but I didn't have much faith in Colin Trevarrow from the start regardless of the alleged difficulty of working with him. If we're going to get someone to do spectacle I will take JJ's work over Jurassic World any day, but not the best pick, just solid imo. Ron Howard would've been amazeballs. |

What's crazy is that they tossed Trevorrow's script, hired Jack Thorne on August 1st to write a new story and script and less than two months later, hired Abrams and Terrio. Terrio's involvement is interesting. He co-wrote BvS, adapted Argo (and won an Oscar) and co-wrote the Justice League. My gut tells me that Abrams will outline the story and Terrio will write the script. |

When Abrams read Rain Johnson's script for Episode VIII, he immediately regretted not directing the film. Hopefully, Terrio and Abrams build off of Johnson's foundation. |

This has all the excitement of Carl hiring Herm as the head coach for me.
I think I would have taken Gareth Edwards over JJ (if he were available), and was really pulling for Rian Johnson to get the gig. |

When Abrams took over, he and Kasdan scrapped the whole script and concept. They felt that if Luke and the OT characters were to be the focal point, they wouldn't be able to develop the "Female Jedi" and the other characters, so they kept Luke's whereabouts unknown, so they could focus on telling the story with a new generation. For Episode IX, Abrams and Terrio won't be able to do a "reboot", like TFA was but will need to continue the story as written by Rian Johnson. While there are no "I am your father" plot twists, there will be a few "What?!!" reveals in Episode XIII, so they'll need to build from there, not rehash ROTJ. In terms of Trevorrow, the word is the guy felt HE was the film and not the story itself. More and more of his behavior has been leaking and with the failure of The Book of Henry, he's going to be picking up the pieces of his career for a while. Also, I'm absolutely certain that a condition of Abrams hiring for IX was that he would co-write the script, so it's not surprising Thorne is now out of the picture. |

This is JJ's opportunity to put his stamp on the Star Wars galaxy.
I hope he takes it. |
