Jar Jar throws 'The Last Jedi' Under the Bus

You know the saying about rodents and sinking ships 😅
TLJ was thrown under the bus when Rian Johnson was fired.
shareYou mean hired?
shareHe directed TLJ and was going to direct the third one too. They fired him after all the criticism for TLJ, throwing him and his movie under the bus.
shareI thought Rian Johnson was going to get his own trilogy and he was fired from that.
There was a third director who was going to direct the third one, but they parted ways with Disney over creative differences. Maybe they clashed with Kennedy's 100 percent female and hard core feminist story department.
That actually sounds familiar. I think Rian Johnson was set to write it but its possible they threw it out and began rewrites before TLJ came out. But either way, they fired him from his trilogy because of TLJ's backlash.
shareSorry but this just isn't factually accurate. Colin Trevorrow was announced as the director of the third film in 2015, way before TLJ (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-episode-9-director-807838).
All before TLJ:
Ruin confirmed he wasn't involved in the writing in April 2017: https://web.archive.org/web/20170425133835/https://twitter.com/rianjohnson/status/856543771353272321
New writer confirmed in August 2017: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-episode-ix-gets-a-new-writer-1026003
JJ Abrams to replace Trevorrow, September 2017: https://variety.com/2017/film/news/j-j-abrams-star-wars-episode-ix-director-colin-trevorrow-1202548094/
Etc...
Yeah, I remember Rian Johnson being like a temporary writer for it before plans got changed. There was probably talk of him directing though after Trevorrow was canned but it obviously never came to fruition.
