How dare he. Doesn't he know the star wars are serious business and people are living and dying in the fanboy trenches even as we speak
It's MTV so I don't expect a lot but that is the most nothing answer when you don't want to say the truth. He probably doesn't give a shit anyway, it's done, knocking it does nothing, be professional.
Yeah.
What do people expect him to say? You outright tried to retcon my movie and ideas and threw my new characters, specifically Rose, into the trash.

He gains nothing saying otherwise, and stands to lose a lot.
This is how professionals respond to things.

I like to imagine he's holed up in the Benioff and Weiss bunker.
Rian is a good guy. Even if he didn't like the movie he's not gonna run around shitting on it because it gains him nothing and only contributes to the toxic discourse swarming around all things Star Wars.
Sheev also disappeared off the face of the earth and we saw how that turned out. Darth J.J. will be back.
also good timing with Curb on Sunday lol
"you're not going to get me to say anything bad about JJ"

The next time a classic IP needs someone to completely fuck it up, JJ will be there. Like the tide, he's never gone for long.
Rian doesn't need to say shit the critical score of TLJ and the award accolades for Knives Out speak for themselves.
Classy as usual. He would have made a much, much, much better version of that movie. So much better.
It's a tragedy he turned it down. We got Knives Out, true, but I'd trade that film for a satisfying ending to the Skywalker Saga in a heartbeat.

JJ - "So our movie was not just following what we had started, it was following what we had started and then had been advanced by someone else. So there was that, and, finally, it was resolving nine movies. While there are some threads of larger ideas and some big picture things that had been conceived decades ago and a lot of ideas that Lawrence Kasdan and I had when we were doing Episode VII, the lack of absolute inevitability, the lack of a complete structure for this thing, given the way it was being run was an enormous challenge."
RJ - "I had a blast, man."

Depends how good he is at turning his brain off. I don't imagine that would come easily to him as a capable storyteller watching a complete mess.

Misleading. These are not answers to the same question, let alone the same type of question.
Rian literally never has anything to say but good things about others. JJ not so much.
To be clear I don't fault JJ for the situation that Disney created.
I wouldn't be surprised tbh, the way the movie follows up on TLJ in several ways was probably pretty cool to see for Rian especially the force link stuff

He's unprompted expressed his like for the prequels before too
Maybe "good" or "bad" doesnt apply to him for star wars*, and he just sees it all as......."star wars". its just star wars and he loves star wars. thats how i am anyways........TFA, TLJ, TROS, they were all star wars, so i liked em all. this is true centrism

the phantom menace legit fucking sucks though, just awful.
Yup. You can also see it with how they've turned Knives Out into this proxy war over TLJ/RoS.
