Denis Villeneuve Critiques Star Wars' Direction Since 'Return of the Jedi'

Denis Villeneuve, director of "Dune," expressed disinterest in directing a "Star Wars" film, citing that the franchise was "derailed" by "Return of the Jedi" in 1983, which he felt turned into a "comedy for kids" and became too predictable. Villeneuve, who is not a "Star Trek" fan either, is focused on developing a third "Dune" movie based on "Dune Messiah," aiming to create something distinct with its own identity.
