Bob iger: “no comment”
Huh? You do know that a Ewan McGregor OB1 D+ series is greenlit, right?

Absolutely I do. I was just comparing their statements. Ewan was denying while knowing for four years it was happening in some form wheras Rian has been openly saying it's in the works making it seem all the more likely (but no certainty.)

Somebody else restarted it and it popped up on the feed...which you probably missed while you were goggling charts to make irrelevant “points”Who's the ideological warrior responding to a post two months old?

The Force Is Still With Him: Rian Johnson's Trilogy Still Happening
With so much other Star Wars content being developed for both Disney+ and the big screen, Rian Johnson’s formerly announced original trilogy had kind of become an afterthought for fans. Truthfully, after Disney Investor Day it looked like the films weren’t going to happen at all. However, in a...

Not going to happen. There’s no market for them.

I'm here for the fanboi tears. 
I actually would still really like to see his own trilogy totally divorced from the Skywalker saga. All the complaints really come down to him being a mismatch for an 8th film in a saga. Nothing to say he can't be a good fit in a different era the Galaxy. He's a very good film maker.

You're right, no way it happens.
I'm not even convinced Kathleen Kennedy will be in charge of Lucasfilm by this Christmas.
Disney bungled Star Wars, and The Last Jedi was the main culprit.

The “source” of this...posted on the very “reputable” disinsider?? Is a daisy Ridley fan girl author with no discernible attachment to any of the players in the post.

So you're saying confirmed. 10/10 definitely will happen.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WOOOOOOOOO! Shut up. Star Wars is in good hands. Everything, from the original trilogy, to the prequels to now, connects and makes a cohesive whole. The "problems" you cite are present under Lucas' reign as well, all the way back the original trilogy. Same with the "lack of planning." There was indeed, a plan, but you can't be slaved to something set in stone. Even Lucas wasn't.
Honestly, the worshipping of the original trilogy and the EU books as a sacred text, holy scripture, worshipping at the altar of St. Gary Kurtz, is appalling.

We’ll all let it play.
Let’s see what happens with Kathy Kennedy? I’m not sure that she will internally get enough credit from Mandolorian (she won’t...the Hollywood press isn’t lauding her and that’s a good sign of where it’s going) and we can all agree that Johnson is DOA without her.

Back when the poop was really hitting the fan with the last jedi. I had said Rian would have probably made an interesting trilogy seperate from the main saga. Unfortunately I think he is just to tainted at this point for Disney to release his star wars trilogy. Episode 8 was not the time to reinvent star wars. But a separate saga from Rian, even if not as traditional as the originals, would have been received just fine.I'm here for the fanboi tears.

The part of this article that screams he's just trolling to me is this. He's working on but hasn't had time because of other projects. If Disney wanted a trilogy from Rian, it would be full guns, not, take your time! Let us know how it's going.

There’s also no timeline...no hirings...no story and most importantly;
No comment from Burbank...or San Fran for that matter.

If I had to place a bet on what really is happening it would be this. Kennedy thinks it's happening, so Rian thinks it's happening. But in reality Disney has zero plans to go through with it and are just waiting till Kennedy is gone and the project just dissapears.
Who is the "Disney" that has no plans? KK has three bosses: Bergman, chair of studios; the CEO, Bob Chapek; and a pseudo-boss in Iger who's supposed to be in charge of creative content.
Given his background and all the damage control he's enmeshed with, do you think Chapek has in his mind a short list of directors for future SW movies? He don't know movie production.
What has Bergman done with regard to LucasFilm?
That leaves Iger who has always backed KK and taken the blame for Solo.
They're the ones who've been backing her so far. And they'll pick her replacement when she retires (likely this year when contract is up... but... it can always be renewed).
