I want them to give Bryce Dallas Howard a Star Wars movie. Her episodes of the Mandalorian were great.

I love hearing Lynch tell that story "He started talking about wookies and that's when I got a headache and told George to direct it" 😂

Lynch’s story about turning down Star Wars is so funny because you expect him to give reasons but he just talks about how he had a headache and the only food he was served was salad

I did not know this, and I’m a David Lynch fan. The Elephant Man had a huge impact on me.

Chris Nolan is the only one who can save Star Wars. Let him remake the prequels.

David cronenberg was also apparently asked but turned it down because he didn’t get to write it

I think your video brings up a great divide. Saw a podcast host say they haven’t felt something from SW’s since Andor, which was only 1 year ago! So in your vision, how often should great/S tier projects come out?

The one thing I feel we lack now in film is visionaries. I feel modern film has been about trends and popularity and I find execs and to a degree fans aren’t seeing beyond that. Or it’s rare. Feel a lot of those filmmakers who came out of the 70s were about talent and someone giving them a chance. Even audiences giving them a chance. Which I feel is rare today

Also the new Star Wars is so shallow. Learning that Lucas was making a commentary on Vietnam makes the original trilogy that much deeper. The only contribution that comes close in the Disney world is Tony Gilroy’s.

Star Wars and Marvel are the odd balls that succeeded and they’re just fine. It’s the board rooms it’s the locusts in the C suit that want Star Wars money without the work and care that went into it.

they're trying to maintain an everlasting bonfire when the whole point of storytelling is to pass the torch

Yeah but Taika Waititi basically did that with JoJo Rabbit and then Marvel Thor Ragnarok. The failure was continuing with Thor Love and Thunder. Sometimes these creators do have. A really unique perspective to bring to an IP

I agree with you 99% only because Andor exists.

Are you sure it wasn’t David Cronenberg that George Lucas was talking to about making return of the Jedi?

People forget that everyone thought Star Wars was going to bomb, including Lucas himself. I think that was because he was swinging for the fences with passion. He had a vision. Now a corporation is trying to engineer that passion and replacing vision with fan service. I think it's still possible to make great Star Wars movies, but they need to go far into the future beyond the Skywalkers andcreate something new and perhaps ground all of it with Andor's realism.
