When you're director Rian Johnson you can probably make any movie you damn well want to make. After all, despite the backlash from some fans, Johnson's "The Last Jedi," which was coming off his visionary sci-fi "Looper," was critically acclaimed, confirmed his ever-growing talents as a writer-director, and impressed Disney so damn much that they decided to give him sole authority of an entirely new Star Wars trilogy. 

Now, we know that 'Jedi' and 'Solo' had problematic box-office numbers, and that Disney head Bob Iger has confirmed they are 'slowing' down the process of releasing more movies post-Episode IX, so what is Johnson to do in the meantime? How about make an original film.
