With The Last Jedi's 5th anniversary fast approaching, it's time to ask if director RianJohnson is still a part of StarWars' uncertain future?
As the fifth anniversary of the divisive Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi approaches , the spotlight is once again on its director, Rian Johnson. That’s partially because he has another big sequel coming out, this time to his 2019 hit murder mystery, Knives Out, an original franchise he’s developed. And it’s partially because of the ever-growing appreciation for The Last Jedi as both a Star Wars film and a bold cinematic experience in its own right.
Still, those fans who hated The Last Jedi and claimed to prefer Abrams’ supposed fidelity to the Star Wars ethos don’t seem to have much to say about The Rise of Skywalker these days. The Last Jedi, meanwhile, undergoes positive reevaluation, while those who have loved it all along continue to trumpet their steadfast devotion.
Drawing from this rich source material, Johnson attempted to make The Last Jedi tap into and flow through the conduit that propels our fundamental human need for storytelling across the generations, not just within them, by servicing specific subsets of fans. Building the myth of Luke Skywalker Of course, the primary objection from the fans let down by The Last Jedi was that Luke Skywalker was not “heroic” enough — that Johnson didn’t lean into Luke’s own well-established “chosen one” status.
