Daily reminder that Rian Johnson is a fan of prequel trilogy:
>I'm really excited about all the things I can't tell you", Johnson said, and then recommended that newcomers to Star Wars episodes four to six first, and then one to three. He argued that "storytelling-wise, four to six were constructed without the knowledge of the past", going on to say "there was something really beautiful about the prequels".
>there was something really beautiful about the prequels
Will he save Lucas' legacy?
Rian Johnson will save Star Wars
Too late. JJ set the shit train into motion.
I am sure he will extract the couple good qualities of the prequels and incorporate them while keeping with the feel of these new films.

GODAMMIT JJ, NOT AGAIN!!!
I'm already prepared to start bashing Johnson and calling Abrams an unappreciated genius when VIII comes out

I don't think it's possible to extract a great soundrack from John Williams anymore and that's at least 50% of what the prequels had going for them
>>64320028
I think he'll do better than Abrams did. As long as Disney isn't still trying to play it safe.
Remember when Edgar Wright had all these ideas for Ant Man, then Disney bought Marvel and threw it all out until he said "fuck this I quit"?
They will crush Johnson into submission and any unsafe ideas will be thrown out, it will be the same safe crap because that's what the focus groups want.

They're not retarded, they can telling people's biggest issue with this movie is that it's too safe, they'll let him branch out a little. JJ left Rian in a really great position actually, both Disney and the fans are in a mood for some personal creative input from him right now.

>at least JJ made an actual Star Wars movie
>does anyone else think the prequels are better than the OT?
>force awakens was the best Star Wars objectively
A taste of what's to come

Johnson's script for VIII is done. He didn't quit. IX is in draft. Whatever the story is, it is already.
so on episode viii it says jj as the exec producer and this rian as the director. What's the difference in positions? I like jj's shit. Also since TFA was received so well why are the taking jj off of director
>>64321027
whoa. deep
I'm just excited for Rogue One I don't care about much else.
>>64320371
So IX will be the best one and VIII will be complete trash?
