Lucasfilm just announced that Colin Trevorrow is no longer head Star Wars : Episode IX .
The following was posted ontoStarWars.com
Lucasfilm and Colin Trevorrow have reciprocally chosen to part ways on Star Wars : Episode IX . Colin has been a terrific collaborator throughout the development process but we have all come to the close that our visions for the project differ . We wish well Colin the best and will be deal more information about the film presently .
Rumors about Trevorrow ’s potential loss started earlier this summer when his latest film , The Book of Henry , was released to drab reviews . rooter online immediately lost faith in the director , even though he ’d previously direct two much better moving-picture show , Jurassic World and Safety Not Guaranteed . It felt like the written material was on the bulwark .
There ’s also the feeling that Lucasfilm is simply trying to be slightly more conservative in recent month . After The Force Awakens , the fellowship hired multiple talented , young filmmakers with varying degrees of experience : Josh Trank , Gareth Edwards , Rian Johnson , Phil Lord , Chris Miller , and Colin Trevorrow . And with the exception of Johnson , so far , each posed alone problems . Trank never snap anything , Edwards reportedly had Rogue One essentially taken from him by Tony Gilroy and , of course of study , Lord and Miller were fired in favor of Ron Howard .
Then there was the late news that Stephen Daldrywas being eyed to directthe Obi - Wan Kenobi movie . He ’s a gifted filmmaker no doubt , but he ’s a very safe and dependable choice compared to the other figure and that feel like a shift in direction . He ’s more Ron Howard than Lord and Miller . Trevorrow leaving feels like the logical continuation of that . He ’s a firm filmmaker but is n’t a indisputable thing . When a caller is in the business of making a billion dollars per film or stony-broke , reliable is better than risky .
We can in all probability expect a replacement to be named soon , as has been the pattern with these changes . And while a unretentive leaning has yet to emerge , here ’s a name I ’d care to leave you with : J.J. Abrams .
Star Wars Episode IX is scheduled for release May 24 , 2019 .
