 I just have one goal, which is to make the most powerful Star Wars movie I possibly can The best shot at making something good is to come into it and trust my guts, you know Hey guys, I'm Scott all right and today we are talking all about how do we bring Star Wars fans back together? There's a bit of a bit of a split at the moment massive divide So what's gonna bring us all back together and back to loving that galaxy far far away? What do you think? So Star Wars a fan, and it's not in a great place at the moment Hold the size of the Grand Canyon. Well, there's a massive split right the fans are on either side Pitchforks that hate Ryan Johnson and guys that are kind of like Yeah, exactly So last year, obviously cause a bit of a rift very little just a little bit Yeah, you know some may say Ryan Johnson playing this Cut that video. Yes. I would be worried if everybody across the board was like, yeah, it's much more exciting to me when you get, you know a group of people who are like coming up to you and Really really excited about it. And then there are other people who walk out just I mean Literally saying that was the worst movie I've ever seen having those two extremes to me is, you know Is the mark of the type of movie that I want to make Obviously, you know fandom is plays a huge part in Star Wars and we kind of really want to get the band back together How how do you think, you know, we can do this? Well, how do you think Disney or Lucasfilm could do this? Well, they've kind of put themselves in a bit of a corner, haven't they? Yes Stuffed up a little bit. They're offering this new trilogy that nobody wants at this point because Ryan Johnson isn't at home so The big thing is the giant potato head man You do you get rid of Ryan Johnson in general or do you just keep making Star Wars films? I think I think that the core joy that we love about these movies is, you know, obviously We love these characters. We love the setting. We love, you know, we love that how built out this universe is We love there's so much to love in on in the you know on the screen And it seems like we're being really split apart by what's happening behind the scenes And so I think really it's around embracing, you know everything that we've loved so far and and but I guess that's on Lucasfilm the kind of how did we show that back to the fans? Yeah And I think For all the troubles I've had with you know, even like Rogue One had problems last year. I didn't I think had no problems really Yeah, yeah, but that's the end and so obviously yeah, yeah, which is so odd because like They they last year I was in the can months for release. Everyone was so happy and excited and ready to go for it Luke Schill was so happy and then fuck. I bet you they weren't no one was expecting their response to that movie Yeah, and so it's it must be shocking to them because now solo is kind of underperformed Yeah, so they kind of they must have had all this planned out and thought everything was really sweet and she make and now Everything's kind of gone shit So what what do you think they what do you think they should do? Look, I think they can listen to the fans and they can announce to the fans like straight up and just say on Lucasfilm.com or Luke Lucas Yeah, I'm on with that. Yeah, Star Wars.com. Whatever you want to call it either one and just say We've pooped Ryan Johnson's trilogy and I will be right on the internet as Saying that that trilogy was cancelled and I think that will bring back a lot of people just to say You know, howdy-doody here's my money back for Star Wars, but I think that's a little mean I'd like I think it's mean I think Like I get people had problems with it, right, but I I don't think Firing the guy is like gonna I don't know how what problems that solves like either He's he's the one writing and creating this new trilogy has got nothing to do with anything I've done before Like it's completely he's a talented filmmaker. I think It's got nothing to do with all the nostalgia and all the stuff that you love It's you know, it's gonna be potentially like these Spitoff movies where it's gonna explore new areas of Star Wars, which we've really enjoyed in the spin-off movies this world building I don't think Yeah, it surprised me that everyone wants him off because I think He's lined up to potentially live with something pretty cool. That's not gonna step on all your childhoods and everything You know sure well, okay Then if you don't get rid of Brian Johnson, then what do you do? You look at Brian Johnson and how he was put into the film and you look at all the other films They've also had this menacing person at the back and saying this is what you should be doing This is what you should be doing in Kathleen Kennedy. Yeah, and then the last did I didn't have that She didn't really step in and say anything was wrong. No, and that was the film that kind of everyone hated everyone Everyone loves Rogue one and she stepped in everyone loved I mean most people love solo right and she stepped in there and most people like the Force Awakens But the one she didn't do was the last night So maybe Kathleen Kennedy should she be looked at and maybe get kicked to the curb. I I maybe I'm just talking because I'm biased towards, you know, you look at her history Everything is done is like flaws right like and look and okay This is probably the first time she's running a studio Which is fine but she has enough experience and enough working with some of the biggest names in Hollywood to Like I don't think she is a problem. I think right. I think she potentially could get bored with the gig At some point which fair enough like you're looking after What is essentially such a huge now part of that Disney, you know IP? But it's you're only looking at one part You're probably not getting all those kind of different experiences potentially getting as a producer, but What do you think the answer is? I think I don't know. I think I'm always I'm very wary of like jumping on the stale to too much and I think that's what everyone I've get this feeling. That's what people want I mean a lot of people had a lot of issues with Force Awakens that it was too similar to you know a new hope or very repetitive and so I like it's a very hard balance to kind of kind of Fix or like to to figure out my opinion I I Say keep the course almost. I know that sounds really odd, but like I think if you There's there's a requirement that you have to acknowledge things or you know publicly declare that Ryan Johnson sucks and you will never touch anything and I think you kind of But I think I just stay the course I think the biggest problem they've had with last year and solo is The time between the two of them I think that really kind of is was it was it was hard for I guess fans who are so used to You know waiting years and years for a new Star Wars movie now my biggest problem is my biggest concern is that With Disney running it and they're all around you know stamping IP everywhere They can they're trying to get that get that you kind of lose that magic and that that's specialness of Star Wars So to me I think potentially pulling back a little bit maybe spreading things out I think that's kind of a way to kind of and I don't know if I bring fans But I think bring some of the magic back stars, and I think with the magic comes the fans I guess well They do have I mean they that one of the biggest answers as a fan for me to get me excited is Star Wars Galaxy Edge. Yes. I mean that for me opening that up in general Yeah, would get me pretty excited as a fan and and may reignite my fans. Oh, yes. I've lost it Not that I've lost I'm so excited about anything. Yeah Lucas can bring out but um But in fans in general the ones that are have a lot of hatred for Star Wars at the moment and and and what they're producing This could really answer that I feel I agree I think it's really that is ultimately the ultimate fanboy thing is living that universe right and to me part of I Think that the arc that they're trying to go with with last Jedi is that acceptance of anyone can be you don't have to Be a skywalk and be a Jedi right so I think that that arc of these characters kind of everyone be kind of coming here Ultimately leads itself into galaxy's edge where you are gonna you yourself are gonna be part of that that kind of journey But I agree. I think that's totally gonna Hopefully like bring everyone back really like excited and happy and waiting six-hour lines to go and rides and stuff But I mean Disneyland has done nothing wrong Anything that they've released that's been like a massive failure. You're going like Some of them may disagree with you, but generally I would agree with you Yeah, and I think I think yes, so that'll that'll put a really good spin on I think the animated series I think Dave Flynn he's done a really great job kind of leading those and so I'm quite excited about the new one I think that's yeah, I'm excited kind of see where that all goes So I think there's enough kind of coming in the pipelines as far as bringing the fans back together Yeah, it's a tough spot and if Ryan Johnson is truly the problem Okay, maybe you need to renounce him my guess But I think there's potentially deep problems. I can't see what they are But I think they're I don't know if that's the the kind of the answer Yeah, so what do you guys think what do you think can really bring back the magic and bring everyone back to Star Wars? Let us know in the comments below and until next time. I'm Scott. I'm right see nerds at the movies Someday this war is gonna end Not the Star Wars that will never end that will keep going forever You and me will go home someday
