George Lucasin Star Wars on kokenut melkoisen muutoksen, kun Disney ohjat käsiinsä otti. Kingsmanin ohjaaja Matthew Vaughn onkin sitä mieltä, että olisi aika polkaista koko Star Wars uusiksi alusta. Hän teki kantansa tiettäväksi podcastissa Happy Sad Confused.
Vaughn sanoi, että jos hän olisi ollut ohjaksissa, olisi kaikki aloitettu alusta Luke Skywalkerista alkaen. Lisäksi Star Wars joutui Hollywoodin kaappaamaksi, ja nykyisin merkitsee vain raha.
"The studios, it's like any artistic form. The music business, movies, fashion... the financing and the commerce has taken over the creative. That always means eventually for short-term gains you do well, but long term you kill everything. That's what's happening now... film, music, art. Commerce took over and now the pendulum is starting to swing back. Creativity should always be the driving force of any decision and then you think about how to make money out of it afterwards. If you try to make money upfront, you'll kill some great franchises."
Star Warsin parissa työskentely olisi Vaughnillekin jonkinlainen haave.
"For me, doing a Star Wars movie is to play with the characters I love. If they said to me they'd reboot 'Star Wars' and actually have Luke Skywalker, Solo and Vader and do your version of it. Everyone would say you're an idiot to try, but that would excite me."
