Rian Johnsonin ohjaama Star Wars: The Last Jedi on jäänyt historiaan sinä kaikkein huonoimpana Star Wars -elokuvana. Nyt sitten GQ:n haastattelussa Rian Johnson on saanut tilaisuuden puolustaa tekemisiään. Näyttää siltä, että vuoden 2017 The Last Jedi leimasi ohjaajansa loppuiäksi.
Johnsonin mukaan eri sukupolvien odotukset Star Warsissa asettavat elokuville omat vaatimuksensa.
"It's not very interesting to just think in a meta way about Star Wars. At the same time, you're dealing with a story that's about heroes, and about a younger generation meeting their heroes, and a generation that is now the older generation of heroes dealing with being role models for the younger generation, and still being human beings with faults and foibles. And somebody who has the role of a legend but who feels fallible as a human being, by the end of the movie realizing the value that that legend has, and realizing their place is to step up and be that for the younger generation. When you're dealing with all of these things, the legends that we grew up, that I grew up with, was the characters in Star Wars. If I think about the thing in my life that's been the most consistent thing of that, it is these movies. And again, anyone who makes a Star Wars movie today is in some way gonna be engaging with their relationship with Star Wars itself."
