Safety Not Guaranteed was pretty comfy, but I don't see why he got the Jurassic World gig just from that. He must have had a pretty phenomenal pitch.

Not too thrilled about him doing Star Wars. I would have rather seen someone like Frank Darabont do it

He's efficient and knows how to please the producers

star wars isn't frank darabont's style at all.

Contrary to popular belief, not many directors are interested in big budget films controlled by producers, who essentially want puppets.

Brad Bird, Alfonso Cuaron and many others turned it down

Jurassic World was awful.

Brad Bird helped him get the job, he was mentoring him on Tomorrowland and put him on contact with Spielberg.

Jurassic World has "studio committee" written all over it. I think this guy is a director for hire, probably didn't pitch at all.

They should've given it to Peter Jackson. He could've made The CGI Awakens.

You clearly did'nt see his Hobbt.

Considering all disney wants for star wars is a souless by the numbers checklist filler, why would anyone want that gig?

If RotJ had replaced Ewoks with Wookies it would've been the best of all them. A perfect trilogy which only rose in popularity
