And knowing JJ, there’s a very good chance that’s happening.
Are we talking about the same JJ?
I know he has a distaste for the PT BUT I can easily see him getting over it if he can use it to maximize the emotional manipulation of the audience. Which will be his primary goal for the end of the film/saga.
No way. JJ is an OT fanboy. He’s gonna use Lando as much as possible, as well as force ghost Yoda and Luke. But not Hayden (which would be a great way to at least create somewhat of a unification between George’s saga and the Disney saga).
JJ somehow manages to be everyone’s boogeyman.
The Fanboy-ness works for TFA, but I am worried he might descend into more nostalgia when crafting the conclusion to not just the Sequel Trilogy or the story Luke started in ANH… but also the rise and fall Anakin Skywalker. Rian Johnson did help mark some shifts, but it’s up to the filmmakers of 9 to either go all in with the new… or revert to nostalgia.
I had hopes JJ would listen to the feedback, but am very confused why Lando is in the new movie. Wasn’t the entire point of killing Han and Luke so we could have space for Rey and Kylo? This should be their story and yet I find after two films we still haven’t reached that point.
