Um, who's setting her up to be the most hated director? Feige? Disney? Fans? Mephisto?

Also, what happen to jayman3? Saw he's now banned.

Just taking the temperature of this development on social media (I know, I couldn't resist, sorry).

If further proof was needed that this fanbase is beyond saving and that all it really wants from Star Wars is its folk memory of the 1980's preserved intact, then look no further than greeting the news that Star Wars has just hired the best filmmaker in its 44 year history with cries of 'box-ticking', 'woke agenda', and 'intersectional' whilst demanding that the current Academy Award winner for Best Director make way for someone who 'just gets it' such as the auteur of Couples Retreat and Cowboys & Aliens.

Star Wars Fans, "You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious".

It'd be great if this came out in time to take Rogue Squadron's originally scheduled release date.

Why so? If she makes a good movie then it will be well received and be mostly embraced by Star Wars fans. There seems to be a running theme that SW fans can’t dislike something, criticize it or have any issues with any SW film or they are just haters. Sorry the bar was set so high with the original trilogy. SW fan hate is severely overblown by those that are overly sensitive to criticism and critique.

Here are the choices for a SW director:
1) Make a truly great SW film that stays true so what’s established while creating some new characters and storylines that are interesting. It’ll go well.
2) Go off the rails completely and it will be divisive and rightfully criticized
3) Take on an easier project so your feelings don’t get hurt.

Simple, really.

Debunked

According to THR, Chloé Zhao is not directing Kevin Feige's ‘Star Wars’ movie, or any ‘Star Wars’ movie.

I suspect this film has gone the way of Josh Trank’s Boba Fett, Rian Johnson’s trilogy, and Benioff’ and Weiss’s film, but we shall see.

Don’t forget that indie duo’s movie that was announced a few years ago and has never been mentioned again.

That'd be a shame. Star Wars deserves to be seen on the big screen.

Russo Brothers: ‘There Were Early Conversations’ About Joining Kevin Feige’s ‘Star Wars’ Movie

Anthony and Joe Russo conquered the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the record-breaking blockbuster “Avengers: Endgame” (their fourth Marvel movie after “Captain America: The Winter Solider,” “Captain America: Civil War” and “Avengers: Infinity War”), and it turns out the “Star Wars” franchise could’ve been next. During an appearance on the “Smartless” podcast (via Total Film magazine), Joe Russo confirmed that the brothers had early talks about signing on for Marvel president Kevin Feige’s “Star Wars” movie. The project has since been shelved.

“We love ‘Star Wars,'” Joe Russo said. “Kevin Feige is a huge ‘Star Wars’ fan, and there were some early conversations about maybe teaming up with Kevin to do ‘Star Wars.'”

Feige’s “Star Wars” movie was announced in September 2019. At the time, rumors were swirling that Disney intended to replace Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy with Feige, the key figure in launching the studio’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. Such rumors were incorrect, but Feige was developing a “Star Wars” movie and brought in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” writer Michael Waldron to pen the script.

Waldron told Variety in May 2022 that he’d started working on Feige’s “Star Wars” script, adding, “I’m enjoying having the freedom on that to do something that’s not necessarily a sequel or anything.”

By October 2022, Feige had hired Waldron to pen the screenplay for the upcoming Marvel movie “Avengers: Secret Wars.” The 2025 tentpole will function as an “Avengers: Endgame”-style culmination of the current phase of Marvel movies. When Waldron’s “Secret Wars” hiring broke, fans wondered what that meant for Feige’s “Star Wars” movie. Variety reported in March 2023 that Feige’s project had been indefinitely shelved at Lucasfilm.

At this point I guess I should announce that I am also not writing or directing a Star Wars film or series.

[Hedrox]

Star Wars film from Kevin Feige definitely isn't happening.

"No."

[Member-866753]

Until the camera starts rolling on a movie, it's best to take it all with a grain of salt. There's been at least 10-12 directors and projects announced that never even hit the scripting phase.

I think the Rey film is the finished Lindelof script but even he got canned and it seems like that script is being reworked on the fly.

They should ditch Feige and bring Tarantino in

I thought this was dismissed over a year ago. Are IGN short on stuff to cover?
