Rian Johnson Aimed to Make the ‘Empire Strikes Back’ of the ‘Star Wars’ Sequels

When talking about his time in Star WarsRyan Johnson often says he wants to return to this world one day, at least as soon as he stops making killings and TV programs. But while the fans are still hoping to make this trilogy one day one day, others cannot exceed the disappointments of the apparent dictates in the introduction of his privilege, Another serious. In a new interview, Johnson recalls what he was told when he came on the Lucasfilm project.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Johnson tackled the idea that he and JJ ABRAMS – who made the first and third films in a trilogy, Power awakens and Skywalker ascendingHe did not communicate enough about 2015 and 2017 Star Wars Movies, which leads to a disassembled feeling between the two.

This is not the case, Johnson said. “We met and spent days with him and managed to enter his head and all the options he made They are forced. In the end, I feel that the options in it, none of them were born from the intention of “retreating” anything. They were all [born] From the opposite intention, how can I take this story that JJ wrote, which I really loved, and these characters that I really created, and took it to the next step? “

Johnson said that the authority interfered with some directives at this stage. Cathy [Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm] He said, “We look at someone to do it empire [Strikes Back] From this series. I took this task seriously. Perhaps more serious than someone he loved. I think that this does not mean making something that he had just gestures to him empire– This means trying to do some empire an act.”

Whether the interpretation of Johnson empire Good fans (some People do not mind Another serious!), It is clear that reaching the concession to make the middle movie in the series was not an easy task. This has become more striking when Johnson tried to put his own character on the story so far – including, with the use of Rolling Stone as an example, get rid of Snoke, The Big Bad Set with a lot of noise in Power awakens. It turned out that Johnson believed that Kilo Ren was “a more convincing and complicated evil.”

“For me, I was not easily eliminating SNUKE. I faced great pain to use it in greatly the most influential way, which then was to transfer Kylo to the next level and prepare it as I could.

Really, what will he do Star Wars Be without a hot fan discussion about the options taken, on the screen and exit?
