On a recent episode of a podcast, director Denis Villeneuve shares how the disappointment of Return of the Jedi profoundly affected him, stating, "I was traumatized by The Empire Strikes Back and still today, the Ewoks. It turned out to be a comedy for kids." His early passion for Star Wars turned into frustration, leading him to reject the idea of directing within the franchise and citing a lack of desire due to its codified nature.
In a recent interview, Villeneuve elaborated on his disillusionment with Star Wars, stating, "I never left Star Wars, Star Wars left me," indicating a strong emotional disconnect he feels after the original films. He criticized the franchise for straying from giving depth to its characters, especially Luke Skywalker, and for losing the elegance that once captivated audiences.
