Make Star Wars Great Again Jj Abrams

I want to be honest with you: I experience for J.J. Abrams. The guy's been through a lot since he signed on to direct 2015's The Force Awakens. Like, I don't know: the wrath of Star Wars fans. Remember when Abrams subtly dissed Rian Johnson's The Terminal Jedi and faced a week of Internet shame for information technology? Then, of class—the homo had to dive in to directly the Skywalker Saga's final motion-picture show, The Rise of Skywalker, when Lucasfilm booted Colin Trevorrow to the curb. That movie? Met with a big meh! At best.

Now, if I were J.J. Abrams (no one asked, just writing it anyhow), I would either, 1) Own the hell out of every single decision I fabricated involving any star and every war, or 2) Never, e'er talk well-nigh Star Wars again. That said, Abrams is doing something in the middle of those two options. In a new interview with Collider timed to the 10th ceremony of the criminally-underrated Super 8, Abrams talked a little bit about the planning of the Skywalker Saga. Or lack thereof. If you're unfamiliar with the carousel of directors backside the final trilogy, the original programme was to accept Abrams direct The Force Awakens, Rian Johnson direct The Last Jedi, and Trevorrow straight The Rise of Skywalker, with each director putting their own spins on the series. With all the changes behind the scenes, the final production didn't exactly resemble a seamless narrative. Just await at how Abrams put information technology:

There are projects that I've worked on where we had some ideas just we hadn't worked through them enough, sometimes we had some ideas but then nosotros weren't allowed to do them the way nosotros wanted to. I've had all sorts of situations where you programme things in a certain fashion and you of a sudden find yourself doing something that's 180 degrees different, and and so sometimes it works really well and you feel similar, 'Wow that really came together,' and other times you think, 'Oh my God I can't believe this is where nosotros are,' and sometimes when it's not working out it'south considering it's what you planned, and other times when it's not working out it's because y'all didn't [have a plan].

For the record, I am with Abrams on this part—of course the making of a billion-some-dollar pic doesn't always go smoothly! And sometimes spontaneity is a practiced thing. You've gotta coil with the punches sometimes. But he kept talking.

"You but never actually know, but having a programme I accept learned–in some cases the hard way–is the about critical thing, because otherwise you don't know what you're setting up. You don't know what to emphasize. Considering if yous don't know the inevitable of the story, yous're just as good equally your last sequence or upshot or joke or whatsoever, only you lot desire to be leading to something inevitable."

Oh no. J.J., why? Y'all learned that having a program is the most critical affair in all this? Are you lot implying that Lucasfilm legitimately shot The Forcefulness Awakens with only a crude idea of how the Skywalker trilogy would finish? If so, I quit. Either mode, a annotate similar this explains why The Rising of Skywalker threw such an alarming amount of space shit on the wall: Grandpappy Palp, Rey nearly killing Chewbacca via Forcefulness oopsie, and the Google Maps dagger . This i broke me today. Our Baby Yoda plushies can only panel us and so much.
