Andor and Skeleton Crew are done (aside from maybe some FX), the only active projects after that are the Mando movie, then Ahsoka S2, then the Rey movie.

You might not want a Rey movie, or more Ahsoka, but you're going to get it, because Lucasfilm has nothing else in active development right now.

(Donald Glover is still working on a Lando _movie_ script, and I _think_ James Mangold's super prequel is still alive, but if they happen they are years off.)

No movies are moving forward right now unless Filoni signs off on it.

At most, I expect Mangold be allowed to reboot the franchise since that will bring people back in (including a new generation of fans) but it won't happen until 2030 out.

Mangold is still in development. He has strong ties to Kennedy, and did her a huge favor taking over the Indy 5 movie after Spielberg balked at the script and dropped direction duty.

Most high profile directors want nothing to do with Lucas Film based on a lengthy history of abuse. Including abuse that was leveled at JJ.

If anyone is getting a movie, it's Mangold.

I thought that video said the Rey movie was indefinitely shelved

It is shelved. No movies are moving forward at this point. The kiddie show and the second part of the prequel show are all that's going on because they are done. There isn't even a script for the Rey movie.

Which isn't surprising - there is virtually no demand for stuff based off the new Sequel trilogy even though they kept trying to force it. The Star Wars land at Disneyworld was based on the sequels, the hotel was based on the sequels. They redid parts of the Star Wars attraction to align more with the Mando stuff and while the sequel aspect isn't a main reason the hotel failed, it certainly didn't help either.

It would be funny if the main reason Lucas sold his company was to be rid of her. "Your problem now Bob!"

Opposite. She was part of the deal and nominated by Lucas to take the reins personally. She had Lucas's blessing, and then Bob and her threw away his sequel trilogy, stabbing him in the back.

After Bob Iger shook George's hand on it but refused to put it into writing. This almost caused Lucas to back out of the sale, along with a few other items. That's when Iger said the fee to back out would be something like 200-400m in damages because Disney already had began planning stages for the acquisition of the IP. I don't think Lucas was serious about backing out, he wanted to sell, but Iger still dropped an offhand threat to make sure the deal went through with what Disney wanted, not what Lucas wanted.

Sure sure, but what if it was all an act just to be rid of KK? George was playing 4D chess!

Well he hates Disney and has referred to them as "white slavers" publicly. He's happy with anything that causes them any grief.

There's an amount of schadenfreude he's enjoyed over the years watching it fall from the box office. He's happy with his rid of Kennedy.

George had originally hired Filoni and the Filoni stuff has more the most part more closely aligned with the Lucas-era Star Wars stuff

I still think George did all this to fuck with star wars fans because they weren't interested in his Red Tail movie and they hated the special editions.

Yea to an extent. I think he ran out of options. He was creatively uninspired by the time he wanted to sell and it wasn't like there were dozens of offers out there. There's probably a part of him that was bitter about the fact that it grew outside of his control as a phenomenon and people just wanted endless gay lightsaber fights but laughed about the worldbuilding and politics he created. So Disney says they'll make gay movies with gay lightsaber fights forever and give him 4 billion or whatever, seems an acceptable price to let even if in anger.

Lucas came up with the whole idea of gay lightsaber fights. Lightsabers were so much cooler in the original series when they were used sparing and it was more like fencing where they kept proper distance. The natural internet fighter inside of me was going REEEE every time in the prequels they'd press sabers together and I was just thinking a quick turn would lop limbs off. I always thought the prequels fights and laters were retarded.

Yea but my point is that was spectacle and he wanted to obviously include spectacular sword fights like his favorite movies. But people didn't really care about the context or story so it was just another action movie device.

Yea, that's a large part of it. But I think he was missing something else too. It was a combo effort of failure.

If George had hired good writers to write the prequel trilogy instead of doing it all himself and running with the first draft, he wouldn't have gotten half the shit he gets for those films. Also if he just left the OT the fuck alone and let it be it's own thing, warts and all, nobody would have complained. I mean what kind of psychopath mutilates the greatest movie trilogy of all time second only to "the man with no name" films? Why the fuck would you do that?
