Sorry, I meant what do you mean Edwards being pushed out.
I’m waiting on this too. Ronster says things all of the time that are either misunderstandings or crazy speculation.
Read it again. 😃 He was chucked off RO. I think he is a good director perhaps he is too experimental for big budget blockbusters but he does not go too over the top and even though he even aspires on VFX based stuff he does try to tone it down to be real and gritty. Which is perfect for Star Wars.
He was chucked off but he was kept around for PR. But he still did a great job even though all the clamour about saving the film he did do excellently i think.
He got the tone right where as the reshoots did not.
I think he really understood something about the original fims that say JJ abrams did not.
But JJ had a different job to start a new trilogy but he set a different tone. Which is reasonable I suppose.
But he wasn’t “chucked off”. Just another “fake news” article that spread just because another director was hired. yet that director was only hired to help out with the reshoots, with Gareth, in order to get them done on time. No different to Gary Kurtz taking over directorial duties on final shoots with ANH. Gareth was there right to the end. One of the final things shot was the Tantive escape. And he’s right there, pulling the lever.
