Yo J.J. has already admitted he played it safe, and there's no reason to believe he can't take criticism. That and the fact that this is a totally different situation where playing it safe matters less (the franchise has already been reestablished).

If anything I see him overcompensating and making it too unStarWarsy, just like you could argue he overcompensated for the prequel trilogy's criticism by making it too similar to the original trilogy.

Why'd he not take the criticism when he remade the last 20 minutes of Wrath of Khan

JJ is a great director, but he has yet to direct a movie from an existing franchise that wasn't completely "safe." Give him an original IP or a license he gets to run from the ground-up and it's great. But dump him into an established series and he seems to just crumble under pressure and do whatever results in the least boat-rocking.

True, that was a weak ending, but how much criticism was there actually that Star Trek (2009) was too similar to the original series? If anything I think people were saying it was too different and gritty.

Star Trek '09 was too bland to be compared to anything. It was a generic action movie in space starring Kirk and Spock.

No I mean the guy who was actually set to direct. Rian Johnson was never set to direct, the guy who did Jurassic World was always set to direct. The news is that J.J. is replacing him. That's why it's good news.

Like Rian would probably be better but getting J.J. back over Colin motherfucking Trevorrow is a goddamn miracle

Terrible news for the Star Wars franchise then.

Rian Johnson decided not to take the offer to come back and replace the recently departed Colin Trevorrow on Star Wars: Episode IX.


Johnson is a man whose talent allowed him to work his way up to the Star Wars franchise while Abrams is a hack who rode on his parent's Hollywood connections (both hotshot producers).

Disney is going to do a Star Wars movie every year for a long time, they've already talked about it. They're basically going to MCU Star Wars.

lmao it's not terrible news, Johnson was never set to direct, Trevorrow was. Johnson was just also approached.

like imagine your starving on an island and the only thing there to eat is your own shit. you dread eating your own shit for months and then suddenly you find a chef living on the island and he serves you a decent meal instead. it's still fucking good news that you got a meal instead of shit even if the chef mentions that he could have made a much better meal if he had better ingredients on hand

I dunno man, if I had a choice between two chefs, I'd take the one who was known for serving people his own shit over the one who had personally handed me a plate of his own shit just a few months ago. At least with the first one, there's a chance.
