I disagree - I think there’s a ton of amazing directors out there who could make great Star Wars movies. But nobody’s going to make a perfect movie, and there’s not a magical “perfect” director for Star Wars.

Hell, George Lucas created the series and 3 of its poorest-quality movies are his.

There’s nothing about Star Wars so special that simply asking a strong, capable, and interesting director to play in that sandbox isn’t all you really need to do. There’s always going to be pluses and minuses, things that the individual directors bring to a picture that will turn some viewers off BECAUSE of how individual that voice is. I’m willing to make that trade every time, because that individual voice is probably what’s going to make a movie more special than it otherwise would have been.

It’s hard to argue for Star Wars to adhere to what makes it unique while simultaneously arguing for a one-size-fits-everything approach to the material. People can’t even agree on what “Star Wars” is, there’s no way that agreement is going to embody the shape of a single director.

I will say this, though: Filoni isn’t the answer, and probably never will be.
