Instead, IвЂ™m here to take a look at what might have been. Much the same as both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi in December 2017 did.Д«ut IвЂ™m not here to talk about what Episode IX ended up becoming. This film, now titled The Rise of Skywalker, released in December 2019 to mixed reviews but over a billion dollars at the global box office. JJ Abrams was brought back to direct and co-write the concluding chapter in not just the trilogy, but what would go on to be referred to as вЂњthe concluding chapter in the Skywalker SagaвЂќ. Trevorrow would attempt to rework the script to fill the massive void left by FisherвЂ™s passing, but in September 2017, with reports of вЂњcreative differences,вЂќ Trevorrow stepped away from Episode IX. With many in mourning, questions were raised as to what would become of Episode IX especially since Trevorrow had openly spoken about how, if The Force Awakens was HanвЂ™s film and The Last Jedi was LukeвЂ™s, then Episode IX would have been LeiaвЂ™s. Then, on December 27th, 2016, the hearts of every Star Wars fan broke, as we received word that Carrie Fisher had sadly passed away. With filming completed in July 2016, and Rian Johnson working on post-production for The Last Jedi, everything seemed set for Trevorrow, who by December of that year had a finished script under the title Duel of the Fates, to get pre-production underway.

Episode VIII went into full production a short time later, while Trevorrow and Connolly continued their work on Episode IX.

The trilogy was underway in December 2015, The Force Awakens was released to rave reviews, and earned over one billion dollars at the global box office. As well, he was set to co-write the screenplay with his longtime collaborator, Derek Connolly. Then, in August 2015, as post-production on Episode VII was ongoing, Colin Trevorrow was hired to direct the concluding film of the trilogy. While the film that would go on to be known as The Force Awakens went into production, Rian Johnson was hired to write and direct the follow-up the middle entry in this new trilogy, The Last Jedi.

Following this, we got news that Mark Hammil, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford would be returning to their iconic roles, and not long after, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, and Adam Driver were announced as the lead actors of the new trilogy. Along with directing, Abrams would co-write the screenplay with Lawrence Kasdan, one of the screenwriters of The Empire Strikes Back. The first piece of news came with the announcement that JJ Abrams would be directing the first film in this new trilogy. Items in this collection are restricted.When Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012 and announced plans for the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, the first live-action films in the franchise since 2005, many fans were overjoyed to hear the news and waited with bated breath for any scrap of information what filmmakers would be at the helm, which characters, if any, would return, or who exactly was going to be the face of this new generation of Star Wars. You'll laugh, you'll think, you'll cry (if you're a bit of a nut), you'll disagree at times you'll look at these characters in new and different ways. There are quite a few surprises as characters are eliminated, and ultimately, a winner is crowned Duel of the Fates champion.
