Denis Villeneuve is not interested in making a #StarWars film
• He was once obsessed with Star Wars — calling 'Empire Strikes Back' his most anticipated movie ever
• Franchise was 'derailed' with 'Return of the Jedi' — 'it became a comedy for kids'
• Dislikes the Ewoks to this day

Have not seen Andor but Rogue One almost made me forget I was alive.

Villeneuve's work often tackles pretty weighty intellectual and psychological topics - I recommend Arrival (2016) as a good indicator of what he probably considers "adult" material.
I've never liked the things aimed at children in Star Wars. Not Ewoks, or Jar Jar or 3PO. I've always liked the more serious aspects.
With that said, things aimed at kids can be great. Avatar: TLAB, The Dragon Prince..etc
"Star Wars became crystallized in its own mythology, very dogmatic, it seemed like a recipe, no more surprises. So I’m not dreaming to do a Star Wars"

If there are any doubters out there, watch the last half of Revenge of the Sith again:
These people are so entitled when it WASNT EVEN THEIR IDEA. So he can’t imagine a new story?
RESPECT
star wars but it ends SPIDER
He needs to stay away from the wretched Michael Mouse
See. GIVE THIS SHIT TO LESLYE. She doesn’t act like a whiney little bitch when the CREATOR of something doesn’t do what she wants. Honestly, the entitlement from some of these people when it’s GEORGE LUCAS’s idea!
And even that one movie only has a few moments that are worth talking about.
Some of you didn’t grow up with “never ending story, Labyrinth or legend” and it shows.
Sure there was complaints from critics at the moment. But why today people think ROTJ is for kids and never complain about the two firsts movies being for kids ? Odd.
Fan Service (more Tatooine, more Death Star)
Characters Made to be Merchandise (Ewoks)
Story Rehashes (Oh people loved the reveal of Vader being Luke’s father. Let’s make Leia Luke’s sister!)
