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.
Lord and Miller are the only ones they’ve outright fired.
Rogue One may have been touched up by Tony Gilroy, but the movie still has Edwards’ name on it and he seemed fine with the finished product.
We still don’t know the details of Trevorrow’s departure.
