Fresh off being included in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Oscars 2020 nominations for penning Knives Out, director Rian Johnson has shared a tiny scrap 𓂃of information about his purported Star Wars trilogy – one that should give fans a new hope amid fears that it had been cancelled.

“I’m still talking to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm,” Johnson tells . &ld🎃quo;But they haven’t announced ൲anything on their slate yet.”

It's been a long and winding road to get to this point, and we appear to be getting no closer to the end. Johnson’s Star Wars trilogy was first officially announced back꧙ in November 2017, shortly before the release of the divisive 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi. At the time, Johnson o🧸utlined his Star Wars trilogy pitch to : “Go [to] new places, meet new folks, come up with a new story to tell in the Star Wars universe. The sky’s the limit… and they really responded to that.”

Rumours swirled early last year that the trilogy had been cancelled. However, Johnson 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:felt compelled to re🎶spond via Twitter, sayi🔜ng, “No it isn’t true,🥂 I’m still working on the trilogy.”

While Lucasfilm, as Johnson points out, hasn’t announced anything when it comes to new Star Wars movies yet, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a 2022 Star Wars film reportedly hasꦐ a director and – as revea𒊎led by – an announcement is potentially fort✱hcoming about the 2022 movie later this month

It just might not the first chapter of Johnson’s trilogy and could be something else entirely. He has another project on the horizon: a Knives Out sequel. He recently confirmed that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史ไ查询:a follow-up to theﷺ murder-mystery is in the works and also told Variety, “I’m always kind of say👍ing, ‘If this movie 🦄does all right, I would be thrilled to another one.’ But a lot has to happen. I have to write a script.”

Whether it's Star Wars, Knives Out, or both, Ri🎶an Johnson appears to be well and truly in-dem♏and for the foreseeable future.
