Last week,
Star Wars announced that it was parting ways with Colin Trevorrow as the director of Star Wars: Episode IX and today they announced his replacement. They said, “J.J. Abrams, who launched a new era of Star Wars with The Force Awakens in 2015, is returning to complete the sequel trilogy as writer and director of Star Wars: Episode IX. Abrams will co-write the film with Chris Terrio.”
I do not know why he did not direct Star Wars: The Last Jedi and this movie in the first place? He did a great job with the Episode VII, so I do not know why they decided to try other people. Especially since Disney seems to be having a problem with directors directing their movies? Abrams is one of the rare ones, with a penis, that seems to be getting it right for them.
How do you feel about Abrams coming back to direct the final Star Wars movie?
UPDATE: Due to the change of directors, Disney announced that Star Wars: Episode 9 will be delayed 7 months. Instead of coming out in May 2019, it will be released on December 20, 2019. Which makes more sense to me because it should be a Christmas release.
