3, … 2, … 1, theories incoming…

Theory 1: Disney liked Episode 8 so much that they want Johnson as director of Episode 9 as well.

disney done several unusual things for rian johnson…prepping him for greater responsibility while colin has been doing nothing but ruining his chances

1: they changed the release date at his behest, sacrificing a culturally advantageous release date(may was the 40th anniversary of star wars and would have given it a massive bump)…disney literally sacrificed a great release date for rian johnson

2: they gave him immense free rein…to the point that actors compared the film to a indie prodution

3: they changed the entire backstory of TFA to accommodate rian

4: they hired a critically acclaimed playwright to rewrite the script of episode 9 while last jedi was suffering no such rewrites…in fact he was given so much free rein that people on star wars fan forums and within lucasfilm were crowning him

5: book of henry was not only panned for a mean spirited tone but colin callled the film a “piece of art” after critics ripped it to shreds

6: several fans point out that colins first film was a short film about a man getting revenge on his ex girlfriend by sleeping with her old mother…this was picked up by major reporters
