In all seriousness you should be happy with this announcement. It probably means that LFL sees Rian Johnson as the SW "Russo Bros" and are expanding his influence into future films. So they're actually giving *more* control to talented filmmakers while giving prequel loving hacks and Lego directors the boot.
If Johnson gets it I'll rest easy. Anyone else will just be disappointing.
It seems like LFL's philosophy is that if they don't ask you to do reshoots you automatically get the next one if you want it. Abrams could have done TLJ but passed.
In other news:
Who else is going to see a brand new Star Wars movie after only watching ONE single teaser?
Just 100 days to go!

Yes, Johnson is a prequel-loving non-hack!
Maybe Trevorrow wanted to call Episode IX "From His Nap" (or "Wait, There is Another!")
Does this mean it'll be pushed back to Xmas again?

What's wrong when Hollywood doesn't want to sell you their wares?
This movie might make TFA great again.

The contenders are:
JJ Abrams. Could the man who kicked off the successful relaunch of the franchise be the man to bring it home? Though he tends to settle into a producer role on the franchises he takes over, he has been known to return to direct a second entry. The bad news is that entry was Star Trek Into Darkness.
Ryan Coogler. Today’s a good day to wonder how well Coogler is handling his transition from Fruitvale Stationand Creed to the VFX world-building of Black Panther, and how well he’s getting on with Disney brass on that feature. We could say the same of anyone working in the Marvel stable (I’d say Peyton Reed, but he’s my secret dream director for Bond 25, so I'm saving him for that), but Coogler going from Marvel to Star Wars has a certain...narrative arc to it, don’t you think?
Ava DuVernay. This is the popular choice in my Twitter feed. She’s got the dramatic chops that will no doubt be needed for this saga’s conclusion. And she’s spent this year navigating the sci-fi VFX logistics on A Wrinkle In Time. What are the odds that film has now turned into a warm-up gig for a job set in a galaxy far, far away?
Kathryn Bigelow. The director of Detroit could use a hit right about now. And correct us if we're wrong, but it sounds like Lucasfilm could use a competent veteran director right about now. But does she need a hit badly enough to lighten up for some space opera? Her name is often bandied about for franchise gigs, and she's avoided them so far.
Ron Howard. What if Howard found he had the time of his life batting cleanup on the Han Solo film and decided to settle into a late-period role as Lucasfilm’s kindly old grandpa? We could totally see it.
Rian Johnson. We’ve heard tell that Johnson, last seen putting the finishing touches on The Last Jedi, was closely involved with the story of Episode IX, even going so far as to film a scene for the film’s then-director. Would he do it? You tell us...

Can you imagine if it went to Bigelow and Episode IX kicked Avatar 2's ass? It'd be 2009 all over again, lol.
I want Mel Gibson to direct a Disney movie.

I never realized that the title for this movie is in the TFA crawl.
