If they're ever going to get Star Was back on its feet again, they need to bury the last three movies deeper than The Song of the South, and hit it out of the park with the next movie.
Maybe Favreau can do it, maybe Peter Jackson could, maybe Ron Howard could do it if he had full control from the beginning instead of coming in at the last minute to try to save a train wreck. I long for the days when I thought the Ewoks were the stupidest thing I'd ever see in a Star Wars movie.
Has Peter Jackson ever made a really good movie? Seriously, LOTR wasn't that great and The Hobbit was a disaster.
The confirmed schedule is for the next movies to be released in 2023, 2025 and 2027. Rian Johnson's trilogy is still on but it's not clear if those are the expected dates for it.
You didnt like LOTR? I thought the symbolism was awesome. There was so much post production video enhancement that went into that movie I dont think its been done quite to that level since. The hobbit did not have even half the post production video enhancement and it looked even worse in 3D HFR.

I did not like ROTK. The Army of the Dead looked like slimer from ghostbusters (ie, way too cartoony), and having them basically wipe out the whole attacking Army of Mordor was too deus ex machina. Remember, in the books they played a very minor role, simply allowed Aragorn to capture the corsairs while the siege of Minas Tirith was broken by people, a lot of whom died. You also then lost the impact of the foray into Mordor itself with a relatively few number of men: felt a lot less hopeless and lost a l
I can see the technical points you make. And no one interpretation of a book will match another. Often directors get it wrong, or so we always think. I think Peter did a really good job of listening to the actors. Every one had read the books multiple times and every one of them had an input. They would discuss an upcoming scene and suggest their character really should do something else instead. I really never got the impression other movies collaborated that much. Usually its just the Directors vision

I do agree they did look a lot like Ghostbusters.
