Denis Villeneuve throws shade on Return of the Jedi


Denis Villeneuve has no interest 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

"I wanted to take a cab and go to L.A. and talk to George Lucas — we were so angry"

"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"

He isn't wrong.

Jedi was terrible.

Yeah, there are some decent parts in it, but it's a terrible finale!
