Rian Johnson Won’t Let the “Divided Opinions” on The Last Jedi Effect his New Trilogy
Posted by Kaitlyn Booth March 23, 2018

To say that opinions on Star Wars: The Last Jedi are divided would be an understatement. People have been losing their minds since December and it doesn’t appear that it’s going to be slowing down anytime soon. That means that people are going to be scrutinizing every inch of director Rian Johnson’s upcoming trilogy for things they don’t like. Johnson was recently talking to Fandango’s Erik Davis and was asked if the backlash was going to effect how he approaches these next three movies.

“I feel like every Star Wars thing that ever gets made has a big, loud response because Star Wars fans are passionate and that’s what makes them awesome. I don’t think it’s possible if you’re really telling a story you care about and having it come from your heart it’s just not possible to be intellectually processing what everyone else wants. Nor would it be a healthy thing, I don’t think that’s a good way to tell a story.”

Director and the Jedi movie still

So it sounds like Johnson isn’t too worried about the backlash and Disney obviously isn’t either. If they were they would have taken Johnson’s new trilogy away from him but they’re sticking by him. Even those that hated The Last Jedi should give Johnson another chance in Star Wars. He’ll be playing with a bunch of characters we’ve never met before so he can’t really “ruin” something we’ve never seen before.

Summary: Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares to do battle with the First Order.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, directed by Rian Johnson, stars Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Mark Hamill, Oscar Isaac, Carrie Fisher, and Adam Driver.

Rian Johnson Reveals His Goal For the New Star Wars Trilogy

With his divisive take on the Skywalker saga now in the rear-view mirror following The Last Jedi‘s home release, director Rian Johnson has revealed the ultimate goal for his new Star Wars trilogy.

“I’m looking at everything right now,” he told Digital Spy when asked which aspects of the Star Wars universe he might draw upon for inspiration. “I’m honestly just in this very nice ‘OK, what is this thing going to be?’ phase.”

Johnson added that the most important aspect of the new trilogy has little to do with specific plot points, and everything to do with capturing the raw essence of the beloved franchise.

“Really, the only goal I have is to think about how Star Wars made me feel as a kid, and that’s it,” he said. “I’m trying to capture: What is that, if it’s not iconography, that we recognize, necessarily, from the original trilogy? What captures that spirit? What can be that for a kid who’s never heard of Star Wars? It’s getting back to the very fundamental questions of what makes this what it is.”

Although The Last Jedi has proved to be among the property’s most contentious chapters, the filmmaker has insisted the backlash won’t influence his original trilogy.

Although his new trilogy set in the galaxy far, far away remains in the early stages of development, Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi is available now on streaming platforms, Blu-ray and 4k HD. The film stars Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader Snoke, Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma, Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico, Laura Dern as Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo and the late Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa.
