Overview

• Lucasfilm announced in November 2017 that Johnson would helm a new three-film Star Wars saga, but it never entered formal development.
• Speaking to Rolling Stone, Johnson confirmed he only reached the conceptual stage and never produced outlines or treatments for the trilogy.
• His commitment to the Knives Out franchise from 2019 onward took precedence, effectively shelving his Star Wars plans.
• The long-term status of the trilogy remains unclear, though Johnson says he would be thrilled to return to the galaxy far, far away.
• Johnson is now preparing his third Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man, for its December 12, 2025 release.
