Of the two sequels, The Force Awakens is just laying pipe for the entirely worthy conclusion of the Star Wars octology, Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi. Meanwhile, the prequel trilogy builds to Episode III’s climactic reenactment of Monty Python’s Black Knight scene.https://twitter.com/theseantcollins/status/1531453518774734850 …

No, Jim is right here. I really like the idea of the Last Jedi as the end of the sequence.

I thought we all agreed that the phantom menace didn’t happen either. It’s weird to make a 2-3-2 movie series, but that’s clearly what happened.

Indeed tThe Phantom Menace is not part of the Machete ordering. We should get an official ruling on the sequels too.

I believe that both Rian Johnson and John Williams were both very clear about how the opera cycle endshttps://youtu.be/IhxpggCYkjA

Ok but really it did seem to me Johnson set up episode 9 to to continue to complicate the universe & whole character of the franchise in really interesting ways … which Abrams ignored.

I think that is exactly right. Johnson gave us an ending to the Tale Of The Skywalkers, democratizing Star Wars so that IX could launch a new era with our fresh new characters and the New Resistance. Then the Mouse did not seize the opening, and JJ didn’t have anything to say.

There’s a sense, he whispered, in which TLJ closes out the series in ways hard to follow. TLJ says, to be effective, heroism must be embedded in just institutions, and it can rise from anywhere *but that may take a while*. I think this is true but not especially swashbuckling.

TLJ gestures towards "A People's History of the Galaxy"
