Denis Villeneuve Critiques Star Wars' Direction Since 1983
Denis Villeneuve, known for his unique approach to big-budget films like Dune, has expressed no interest in directing a Star Wars movie, blaming the Ewoks from Return of the Jedi for his disinterest. Villeneuve, a fan of the original Star Wars films, felt the series became too formulaic and aimed at children, particularly with the introduction of the Ewoks. He prefers to create films that offer more surprises and individualism, contrasting with what he perceives as the codified nature of the Star Wars franchise.
