The Last Jedi might not be your favorite sequel in the Skywalker Saga, but this writer-director feels proud of his Star Wars story.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is one of those movies that I actively try to avoid. Sorry. I said it.
If I think about it too long, then I start to get bothered by the plot holes and the changes made to the methodology of the story. I’m not the only one. Many of us were upset by Star Wars: The Last Jedi for several reasons, but writer-director Rian Johnson said he is “even more proud of it five years on.”
In an interview with Empire, Johnson said that The Last Jedi was not just a Star Wars movie, but a movie about Star Wars and what the franchise means to the fans.
“The ultimate intent was not to strip away—the intent was to get to the basic, fundamental power of myth,” the director said. “And ultimately I hope the film is an affirmation of the power of the myth of Star Wars in our lives.”
