Strange that he didn't mention Rian Johnsons new saga movies, I hope those aren't getting shelved. Overall I think it's a great idea to slow things down. As much as I loved Rogue One, I think it would've been a better idea to do the sequel trilogy first, then do 10 years of spin-off movies, then return to the main Skywalker saga picking up with Rey, Kylo, Finn and Poe later on down the line, or with a whole new trilogy. Might I also offer the suggestion, maybe don't make another attempt like Solo, I knew it was doomed to fail from the beginning.

I think another spinoff will be done in time, but this time it will be done very carefully and discreetly to avoid the mistakes that Solo made. |

Strange that he didn't mention Rian Johnsons new saga movies, I was just thinking that. I'd say it's a fairly safe bet that those will never happen. |

Maybe the Johnson films weren't mention because they're already underway. Besides, you would have seen some news about it and/or Rian Johnson making some statement on it.

"The spin-off hit theaters less than six months after Rian Johnson's highly divisive The Last Jedi." Annotated View that shows what's important and what's not:
"The spin-off hit theaters less than six months after Rian Johnson's highly divisive The Last Jedi." Also there's no mention in the article of the real problem - making bad movies and then insulting your customers when they don't like them. |

Big for CEO like Iger to take the full blame, nothing of KK firing a bunch of directors?

Go back to a schedule of one Star Wars movie 2 - 3 years apart, and 10-plus years between trilogies and we can talk.  |

I Keep Saying It and It is 100 Percent True!
The "STAR WARS" Franchise took a MASSIVE Negative Hit the moment that "STAR WARS" Fans decided all by themselves that they had the right to tell DISNEY what it could and could not do with it's "STAR WARS" Movies when in reality, The Fans have NO SAY in the matter.

Disney is a company. "Star Wars" is a product. Fans are the customers of the company, and the consumers of the product. If the product being sold is substandard, customers have EVERY right to vote with their wallets and not buy it until the company improves the quality of their product. Ever hear of "New Coke"? New "Star Wars" is the new "New Coke". |

I'd be fine with Christmas release one year, summer release year & half later. Repeat. Every 18mos or so is fine, esp if half of them aren't episodes.
Solo wasn't a bad idea, it was just such a meek execution. As one critic aptly put it, why does Disney insist we learn -everything- about Han & Chewie during one single backstory film?? Nuance is gone.
Rogue One was excellent, & it worked not least because only its overarching plot device was known to us from Star Wars' crawl. Carte blanche for everything else without being Rey'd up or Snoke'd down was great.

So IX is postponed to not be released in 2019? IX is currently filming right now and I think it's still on schedule. |

It sucks that Star Wars had to be the movie to fall on the sword (or lightsaber), but I can't say I'm disappointed. The idea of producing trilogies rather than solid standalone movies is a really irritating practice in movies these days...to me at least. It comes across like trying to insure a 'way out' if one of the installments is weak.
"Don't worry, it'll all get tied up in the next one."
I didn't really like "The Last Jedi." And I certainly didn't like Rian Johnson (who is a legitimately talented director...who should stop tweeting) talking about his 'trilogy.' Make one good one first that can stand on its own...
I agree with the over-saturation sentiment. Even if I walk out of a movie and can't wait for the next one, I don't mind waiting a bit

Good. I'm glad the higher-ups realize that quality over quantity is something the SW franchise desperately needs.

Interesting Fact!
JJ Abrams and Chris Terrio actually completed the script for "STAR WARS: EPISODE IX" before "THE LAST JEDI" even opened in Movie Theaters and Fans went berserk over it.
