I May Be Even More Grateful To

Well, You Know, Going Into Any Project, Especially With A Fan Base As Vocal And Passionate As Something As "star Wars," You Will Have Groups Of People Who Will Find Issues With Whatever It Is You're Doing. But Our Job Was To Tell The Best Story We Could About Characters That We Loved, And We Knew That We Needed To Go Backwards To Go Forwards, And We Needed To Go Back To A Feeling And A Place And A Time.

There's Nothing Wrong With Doing Sequels, They're Just Easier To Sell.

Whenever I've Directed Something, There's This Feeling Of Demand And Focus That I Like.

We Went On The Opening Weekend [of Star Wars], A Group Of Us Went Out And Just Popped Into A Couple Theaters Just To See People In The Theater Watching The Movie, And It Was Incredibly Gratifying Just To See The Thing Out There Being Watched By People. And The Reaction Was More Than We Could've Expected.

I Love Movies With Spectacle But Spectacle Can Be A Performance, It Doesn't Have To Be A Creature.
