In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Iger was presented with the opinion that there shouldn't be a Star Wars movie every year. His response was candid:"I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make films."Iger continued by pointing out the ongoing Star Wars projects, like J.J. Abrams' Episode IX and the Game of Thrones creators' own saga (although The Last Jedi director, Rian Johnson's own new trilogy wasn't mentioned)."We are just at the point where we're going to start making decisions about what comes next after J.J.'s," Iger said. "But I think we're going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing. And the buck stops here on that."Since the release of The Force Awakens, there's been a Star Wars movie once a year, but it seems 2019 could be the last year of that release cadence.After the relative commercial failure of Solo: A Star Wars Story - which many put down, at least in part, to Star Wars fatigue - Disney was forced to deny a report that said all Star Wars standalone movies had been put on hold The only currently scheduled Star Wars movie is Episode IX, which will arrive in December 2019
