I offer my services to be the studio head of the next Star Wars triology. Here is my plan:

1. Throw a ton of money out there to hire a competent storyteller. Jon Favreau, Taika, or Rian Johnson would all work.
2. Throw a ton of money at the production to support the storyteller.
3. Show up at the premiere and say how excited and proud you are of the movie.
4. Watch more money than you put out come rolling back in.

hat tip to TNT posting about Kathleen Kennedy for me to remember thinking about this intricate plan.

It really could be this easy. Marvel has done it with great success.

The thing TNT doesn't get is Rian Johnson has shown he is a capable director

Some of the things in the last Jedi were the best storytelling in SW since ESB.

I agree with this.

JJ having his own triology would hav been more coherent and RJ having his own triology would have been better than

Exactly

Ah yes, more pointless subplots like the casino detour would have been great. What could have been...

That was a pointless detour, and I didn't like that part.

Of course, had he done 7 & 9, it may not have been.

Also could have been fun to see Rey and Kylo float their way their way through space with no ship or spacesuit

Mike Honcho

Or to see Poe keep his plan secret from everyone else for no logical reason, a la Holdo

That's almost as the plot of "lets find a map to find another map to find the bad guy who we will go kill."

Also true. I think the same person doing all 3 would have been much better. I just don’t think Rian was that good

Probably my least favorite RJ movie. I still liked it and I the only time I was surprised in the last

Definitely not a flawless movie. Too bad!

shimmy

Those parts were good

Looper was one of the best movies of the last decade.

Now, if you placed as the studio head, are you saying you'd have entire storylines developed before starting filmmaking?

SpiffCoug

I wouldn't hire somebody and rush their film to market on an accelerated timeline. I'd give them whatever time they

I want to see George Miller's Star Wars movie

I am very happy about Taika getting his own SW movie

Give him a billion dollar budget, $300M salary, and a triology. I'm not joking.

shimmy

I'm running out of POTDs to give you!

i think just having a coherent story arc for all 3 films would make a major

"sad" part is that 2 billion dollars worth of tickets would eat it up.

We'll, your price is wrong and you don't go for you. You go for your kids.
