1) Rian Johnson helms new Star Wars trilogy. Rian Johnson, the director for the upcoming film Star Wars: The Last Jedi, has recently been green-lighted to write and direct the first film in a new trilogy. Star Wars: Episode 10 will clearly not be around anytime soon, but we have been told that these new movies will begin to stray away from the Skywalker saga and introduce new characters from different galaxies. This leads us to believe that maybe some, or all, of these characters might not be making it past episode 9…interesting. The next entry in the Star Wars series, The Last Jedi, comes out December 15.
2) Disney has announced some new live-action television shows. These shows will be exclusively for Disney’s live streaming service that plans to roll out in the US in 2019. Live-action shows that are in the works for this service includes: Star Wars, Monsters INC., High School Musical, and a Marvel show. I am curious to see if this Marvel show will at all play into the MCU’s continuity at all similar to the Netflix original shows.
3) Nintendo Switch users can finally stream Hulu on their devices. This is great because this shows that there is progress being made with Nintendo and other streaming services. It has been rumored since before it’s release that the switch will have these services, just add Netflix so I can watch The Office for the 60th time. Please and thank you.
