Disney wasted no time setting out to hire some of the most popular directors for their new Star Wars films, but there is one film that is under attack. There has been a recent petition that seeks to replace one of the new directors, Colin Trevorrow.
Why on earth would fans of Star Wars be out to get rid of Colin Trevorrow as the director of Episode 9? Fans were not overly ecstatic about J.J. Abrams directing The Force Awakens, and that film is the biggest film of all time. Each one of these directors will come to the film and bring something a little different. The second biggest film of 2015 was Jurassic World, and whether you liked it or not, it did with Jurassic Park what Abrams and Star Wars The Force Awakens did for Star Wars.
I do not support this move. After all of the things that George Lucas has said about the direction of these films, and the way that he treated the original trilogy with revisions was slanderous. He hates Star Wars now. This is a sad time. He has turned against the fans of this franchise, saying that he does not wish to be a part of Star Wars after the fan backlash he received in the wake of the prequel films. Unfortunately Lucas is failing to realize that the story and the effects in the films were horrible. Canon was bypassed, and essentially everything that made the original trilogy great was ignored.
Fans may want Lucas back, but his most recent comments about Disney and The Force Awakens will do little bring him back. He may be the father of the franchise, but he is jaded, and is a risky move that could backfire in Disney's face. Lucas is done with Star Wars, and the fans should embrace that, after all, it might be the best thing that could have ever happened.
