Star Wars: Colin Trevorrow Reacts to Fan Reception of Scrapped Duel of the Fates Script at Comicbook.com
 

“Honestly, if any director tells you that they don’t care what the audience thinks, or even people who watch movies and write about them for a living, then I’m not sure if they’re being fully honest with themselves,” Trevorrow told The Hollywood Reporter. “I do make these movies for audiences, but I also make them for people who think about film all the time and watch movies the way that I do. So yeah, absolutely. Any time you do something that’s received well, it’s going to encourage you and hopefully assure you that not only was there a reason why you started doing this in the first place, but your imposter syndrome is only partially real and you’re not a complete fraud. (Laughs.) And I think we all have those moments.”

“It was complicated. But, honestly, I mean, since we’re talking now in 2022, I can say honestly I’m very grateful to [Lucasfilm president] Kathy [Kennedy] for recognizing that she and I were never going to make a movie that we were both proud of together,” Trevorrow said. “And she’s been doing this for so long and she cares about me and I care about her and her family. And [producer] Frank [Marshall] and I are partners still. I’m a part of this group of incredible filmmakers, so it was a complicated moment, but now, having been able to do this and really feeling like this is what … I’m glad I did this. I’m deeply, deeply satisfied for having done this. I appreciate that she had the wisdom to see something that, honestly, I’m not sure I could’ve seen because I was so dialed in to the story I wanted to tell.”
 

Respect to the Colin Trevorrow for saying that “It was complicated. But, honestly, I mean, since we’re talking now in 2022, I can say honestly I’m very grateful to [Lucasfilm president] Kathy [Kennedy] for recognizing that she and I were never going to make a movie that we were both proud of together”.

It is disconcerting the amount of times there have been massive changes to Star Wars content over the past 7-8 years being planned or delivered by writer or director: Rogue One, Solo, TROS, Kenobi, Rangers Of The New Republic, the GOT guys canceled project, and Rogue Squadron being pushed back, are just the releases I can think of right now.

Though maybe this also happens in most other big franchises, like Trek, Aliens, Terminator, or MCU and so on?
