Just when you thought Star Wars was getting a bit overexposed (LOL), Disney announces a live-action TV series AND an all-new trilogy of films featuring new characters in an all-new story. Not exactly surprising, but what did take us by surprise is the fact that they’re putting Rian Johnson in charge of all three new films. Until a year or two ago Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy had been hesitant to give any one creator too much control over the Star Wars universe. But after well publicized directorial shakeups on various other Star Wars film projects, the mega producer has seemingly changed her tune. Fans went wild upon hearing that Johnson would be writing and directing the new trilogy, but not everyone was jumping for joy. The Force Awakens and Episode IX director J.J. Abrams did not take the news well. Insiders tell us he immediately went into a funk and has begun acting erratically. Keep reading to learn the Top 10 Things J.J. Abrams Did When He Heard Rian Johnson Is Directing A New Star Wars Trilogy.
