Around the time that some fans were having a meltdown over Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm were planning to piss them off even further with a whole new trilogy helmed by Johnson.

Despite having directed his own much derided entry into the film franchise, "The Last Jedi" director Rian Johnson told Rolling Stone he once had a "ruthless" hate for the "Star Wars" prequels released between 1999 and 2005.

Rian Johnson has opened up again about his Star Wars trilogy project that was announced after he made The Last Jedi, but according to him, nothing ever happened with the project. It never even got past the conceptual stage.
