Rian Johnson (Looper, Knives Out) would love to do an episode of The Mandalorian, has spoken to Dave Filoni about it
- Thread starter DiipuSurotu
- Start date
I really can't help but feel like people writing this start and end their process of forming an opinion by watching and then quoting Red Letter Media.
One of the biggest complaints about VIII was Luke's role, and yet Luke's role in IX ended up even smaller than in the initial working scripts for IX. Stepping back on Rey's reveal is just a clear consequence of going back to the original mystery box concept set up in TFA and wanting to give a big reveal for it at the end, rather than just going "there is no box".
It's going to be 2022 and there will still be a drip feed of news coming from that one interview.
I don't like the show but I guess I'd be interested? He has a hell of a TV resume.

When JJ read Rian's TLJ script he wished he was directing it.
J.J. Abrams Wishes He Was Directing Episode VIII
<h2>J.J. Abrams thinks the script for Star Wars: Episode VIII is so good, he wishes he were directing it.</h2> Greg Grunberg, Abrams' frie...dorksideoftheforce.com
JJ is a hack.
Frankly, I'd like for him to be in the writer's room for the show, too.
The fact that people loved the season 2 finale... it makes me more understand why so many didn't like TLJ.
...and why I don't agree with them at all.
(Edited to be less combative, lol)

Hated The Last Jedi but with show runners to keep him in line and on track with what Star Wars is I think he turn out something good.
Yes please! TLJ isn't my favorite Star Wars film but it has a lot of my favorite moments in the franchise and I think it was the right direction that the franchise needed but Disney had to get scared of its own shadow and made TROS a reactionary response to the backlash from a bunch of wackos. This in turn retroactively weakens everything that came out before TROS.
I'm not a fan of his previous SW contribution, but I would be down to see what he does with something with a smaller stake regarding fan investment in the characters. Could be interesting.
He made one of the best Star Wars movies and half the fun of SW is watching the fans have nuclear meltdowns so of course
He should direct under an alias and expose these manbabies.
edit: and I'd prefer it if he writes too. Even people who enjoy the show don't complement the writing lol.

Yes please. Even better when it upsets people, especially here on Era. Even more better if he writes it just for the "But mah Star Warz is ruined" posts.
She's not really an actual interviewer. She's an author who won time with Rian in a charity auction. She probably recorded it/took notes, but it's not really something that was done for an article. I don't really agree with her drip feeding the content though.

TLJ may have sucked a ton of butt, but I dont hate the guy. People say that Knives out is actually great.
You can be great and still make some turds.

He is such a genius, I hope he gets to direct one episode and kills off the Mandalorian Character in that episode and shows Luke failing to take care of baby Yoda, he is so going to subvert my expectations such a genius that absolute madman.
This. Finn was me favorite in the first movie. It's a crime what they did to him and even straight up cutting his scenes that they did film.
Thanks for being presumptive of my political and social leanings. I guess I'm not allowed to have an opinion on a film he directed. He's a fine director and has made great films, but I did not like his contribution to the Star Wars universe and regard the entire trilogy as a butchering of an IP I enjoy.
That'd be great. The show is better when it's written by people not Favreau, and Rian's a great director and writer.
Funny how people are hoping against him writing. We got the writer and director or Sharkboy and Lavagirl making a Boba Fett series, but Rian Johnson writing an episode the Mandalorian? Too much.

Get out while you're on top. I get ya.
He was going to do the next trilogy specifically, but a triology at some unspecified point.
It seems right now, he's working on Knives Out 2.
