Rian Johnson still wants to return to Star Wars

Before The Last Jedi had even been released, Lucasfilm announced that its director Rian Johnson would be returning to Star Wars to helm a brand new trilogy.

That was eight years ago, and there've been basically no updates on the new movies since. Instead, Johnson moved on to the Knives Out series, as well as another murder mystery with his show Poker Face. But, that doesn't mean he's ruling out returning to the galaxy far, far away.

"What happened? Knives Out!" Johnson told The Independent. "I mean, I kind of went down the murder mystery rabbit hole – I'm focused on making other stuff. But that wouldn't rule out it happening down the line. If I get back in the Star Wars universe someday, I'd be the happiest person."
