Okay, I’m a little late to the party here, so sorry if someone already posted something like this, but…
Why would anyone ever want to direct a star wars movie now? This is the third director they’ve kicked off a project! What director wants to submit himself to micromanaging, intense corporate scrutiny, just to be kicked out when Lucasfilm decides they’ve had enough of you?
JEDIT: Just checked, It’s actually the fourth director they’ve dropped, though two of them were partners.
