Denis Villeneuve expressed affection for Star Wars but felt that the saga lost its substance after the original trilogy, particularly criticizing Return of the Jedi.
Villeneuve recalls his teenage anger over Return of the Jedi, stating, 'We were so angry...the Ewoks...It turned out to be a comedy for kids.'
He describes the Star Wars series as 'crystallized in its own mythology,' suggesting it lacked the visionary appeal he seeks as a filmmaker.
Villeneuve's reflections on Star Wars express a disconnect, indicating that while he admires the franchise, it's not aligned with his creative ambitions.
