In case you hadn’t noticed by this point, Lucasfilm loves a Star Wars trilogy, although they’ve never come anywhere close to recapturing the magic of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
George Lucas’ prequels were widely criticized at the time, but even they look to be going through a reappraisal that seemed unimaginable up until recently, with the fanbase becoming more fractured than ever by the different but equally divisive response to both The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker.
The studio haven’t exactly given up on their fascination with trilogies, either, even though there are conflicting reports about whether or not Rian Johnson will ever get around to making his, while Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were fired or chose to walk away from developing three movies of their own, depending on who you believe.
