www.digitalspy.com/movies/a30770365/disney-bob-iger-confirms-star-wars-movies-status-rise-of-skywalker/Disney is officially putting the Star Wars movies on the back-burner for now. The House of Mouse is coming off both Solo: A Star Wars Story and The Rise of Skywalker delivering disappointing box office figures, the latter of which may have been expected by Disney. While Disney was once planning to alternate Star Wars and Avatar movies every year, Disney CEO Bob Iger preempted The Rise of Skywalker by warning it would likely be followed by a "bit of a hiatus". At a shareholder meeting on Tuesday (February 4), Iger confirmed that a Star Wars movie "hiatus" has now officially begun.
He added: "The priority [for the franchise] in the next few years is television."Disney has several TV projects in the works for its streaming service Disney+, which is launching in the UK and other Western European countries next month. The second season of The Mandalorian is currently in production and will be arriving on Disney+ this autumn, in addition to a Rogue One prequel show with Cassian Andor also in the works. Recent rumours also suggested that Ewan McGregor's return to Star Wars for an Obi-Wan Kenobi series was facing production delays, though he has since dismissed any such talk. "We just pushed the shoot to the beginning of next year," he told TheWrap. "The scripts are really good. I saw 90% of the writing and I really liked it. All this bullshit about creative differences and all that stuff is, none of it [is] true."

If this is true it’s not necessarily good news for Kathleen Kennedy. All of SW is being funneled into streaming TV shows for the next several years. So does that mean that the production starts for the next SW movies will be pushed back a few years?
And we all know who is responsible for the production - and the success - of The Mandalorian. It’s Favreau and Filoni, not Kennedy.

this is the same news before the movie came out, this isn't like after Solo when movies were canceled. I think Disney wants to wait out Kennedy's contract before doing new movies, they don't want to appear sexist for firing her.

I kept seeing articles about a scheduled 2022 SW movie, but this confirms that's not happening.

Iger supposed to retire next year too, who knows what happens next as Kenobi may be retooled as a feature.

Fandom Menace: "Take that, Kathleen Kennedy!"
Me: "You know she has just as much to do with the Disney+ shows as she does with the movie, right?"
Fandom Menace: [doesn't respond because they are busy organizing their Captain Marvel 2 boycott]

Kennedy has been more involved with the onscreen production of the episodic movies. She has also had a more directorial influence on the writing of the episodic movies. Episodic movies = 3 writers fired; 1 director fired Anthology movies = 0 writers fired; 2 directors fired, 1 director substitution for reshoots The Mandalorian = 0 writers fired; 0 directors fired ObiWan television series = ?? (no documented firings but rumors of requested rewrites and subsequent setbacks) Do you think it’s a coincidence that The Mandalorian is the least divisive Disney SW product, but it’s also the least tinkered and produced by Kay Kay?

Fandom Menace: [doesn't respond because they are busy organizing their Captain Marvel 2 boycott] When does that ever happen? anytime you make one of your mindless lap dog comments that ignore common sense most people step up and tell you hey dipstick you have your head too far up KK's arse heres the truth bins for brains.
I mean considering KK's influence is highly reported on things like the movies or the current delays with Obi Wan, but her influence was never reported on things like the novels, comics, animated shows, games of Mandalorian, seems to suggest no KK had nothing to do with The Mandalorian beyond greenlighting the project and getting out of the way, funny how though the moment the movies go bye bye and Lucasfilm figures out the TV shows are where it's at the tried and true Kennedy blunders start right back up, what a co-inky dink.

It can't be both disappointing and expected. The definition of "disappointing" literally means it doesn't meet expectations.

It can't be both disappointing and expected. The definition of "disappointing" literally means it doesn't meet expectations. Yes it can, different people different expectations, it didn't say Disney were disappointed with the numbers just that they were disappointing numbers, even then Disney could have realised and come to expect the lower number despite originally expecting a bigger turn out hence the high cost of the movie, it disappointed their original assessment but they came to expect a disappointing turn out.

Don't worry, everyone! I'm sure Rian Johnson will tell us his Star Wars trilogy is still, "so, so, so going to happen!"

Retard Johnson thought he was going to sabotage the greatest sci fi series of all time and get away with it unscathed. He truly has shit for brains. He may have made the worst SW film ever imo, but give the credit or shame as it were to the one truly deserving of it, JJ, I mean all RJ did was make Luke a bitter old hermit, considering in the OT the TRUE heroes of the trilogy are Han & Chewie, think about it without them Luke is pasted by Vader and no Death Star goes boom in ANH, without Han watching his back Luke loses his arm in Empire, and it's Han, Chewie and Lando, Cherwie is who steals a walker, Han is the one to trick the guards to exit their bunker and then blow said bunker up and Lando is the one who blows that second Death Star up, what did Luke do in that? he fought his dad then got cooked by Palps until his Dad shit canned Palps down a power core, Luke wasn't exactly the "hero of the galaxy" as many remember him to be.
JJ however killed Han, turned his son into an emo bitch, gave all the legacy of the Skywalkers to Rey, made the Skywalkers outright worthless instead of borderline worthless, undid and undermined the entire OT whilst lazily remaking them, I mean JJ is the one who anally fucked SW raw with a rusty fishing knife then shit in it's mouth after, RJ just kind of pissed on it a little, and I fucking hate TLJ but JJ he done far worse in the grand scheme of things.

The worst Star Wars film is any of the three prequels, take your pick. The rest of your babbling incoherent nonsense is you demonstrating what a feeble minded cretin you are. What do you expect from a UK twunt who calls himself "Dazz" for Darren, a little limey turd who sounds like a reject from Little Britain.
