Regissören J.J. Abrams har tidigare i helgen berättat vilken utmaning det var för honom att knyta ihop Star Wars-säcken med kommande episoden The Rise of Skywalker och nu avslöjar han via IGN att han mötte självaste Star Wars-pappan George Lucas innan manuset skrevs för att försöka hitta en så bra avslutning på Skywalker-sagan som möjligt:
"This movie had a very, very specific challenge which was to take eight films and give an ending to three trilogies. We had to look at what was the bigger story. We had conversations amongst ourselves. We met with George Lucas before we started writing the script. These were things that were in real, not debate, but you look at the sort of vastness of the story and trying to figure out what is the way to conclude this. But it has to work on its own as a movie. It has to be its own thing. It has to be surprising and funny, and you have to understand it. You can't assume anyone has sat and watched eight movies before this one. And yet, I want a kid to be able to watch Episodes 1-9 and see that one story."
Det framgår inte riktigt hur involverad Lucas var i utvecklingen av filmen, men förhoppnings ledde mötet till någonting tillfredsställande. The Rise of Skywalker har svensk premiär den 18 december 2019. Är du taggad?
"Du kan andas ut Rey, Rian är inte inblandad..."
