A script does not a good movie make .

The way he said "we have a script"...

He made it sound like: "We actually got a script this time , we diddn't have one for the last ones."

Didn't they not start work on the script until after TLJ? I hope that if that is so this is just a rough draft. Well in the end all I can hope for is a decent/good movie, hopefully we can get a film that we can all love.

I've lost all interest in the sequel trilogy, I'm afraid.

Weird that they were able to finish Episode IX's script before they finished Episode XIII's.

[shots fired! shots fired!]

Do they have someone who can direct it?

Well, considering JJ's at the helm... nope.

Considering JJ's at the helm can we really consider it a script?

it's like the prequels I'm gonna go just to see the end of the trainwreck.

Yeah I'm wondering if Rey will reach super sayian lvl 3 or not.

Pfft she'll go full on sayian God blue hair and all.

Well at least IX has one more thing than Last Jedi.

I never understood why RLM hated the prequals so much (although I like the reviews, personally).

Then I watched TLJ and realized that my disappointment must have been how they felt back in the day. The quote in the RotS review about having to see how it ends is pretty much how I'm gonna approach Episode IX.

Yeah JJ does average movies at his peak he's not going to be able to deliver a finish that'll undue the damage of tlj.

RotS was only 2005! How does that qualify for ‘back in the day’ status?

Hah! Whippersnapper! Back in my day we still had Kenner SW figures and ROTJ had just hit the theathers. (Tough sadly I was still to young to go see it.)

... aaand now I also feel old.

And back in my day Kenner was making the Six Million Dollar Man action figure and when my dad said "Let's go see Star Wars" we said "What's that?" and he said "I dunno, some space movie, supposed to be good."

I feel less old now thanks guys.

I remember having a similar conversation a few years back with someone who didn't know that Battlestar Galactica was a remake....

But yes.

"We Have A Script" is a good start. It does not necessarily follow, however, that it's a good script.

Nor does it necessarily follow that said script will resemble the end product; even just taking Star Wars films as examples Rogue One had dramatic reshoots such that key moments in the trailer never appeared, whilst many of the iconic moments in the original trilogy such as "I Know" were essentially ad-libbed.
