Johnson is amused because he knows it's not going to happen. He's also bluffing. There's no way that he really "please, please, please... (wants) this to happen." It would be more of an embarrassment to him than the group trying to remake TLJ. But even if this group (against all odds) lined up serious investors and amassed a $100 million dollar budget for production, Disney would never sign off on it. Disney would do everything within their power to block it.I agree. Even before Disney acquired Lucas' property, Lucasfilm was still harsh when it came to protecting the IP. They can also be very petty - going as far as to block a filmmaker's attempt at releasing a cut of Anakin's death scene from Return of the Jedi with David Prowse in the suit (they filmed it a few years ago with David being around the same age as Anakin would be at the end of Episode 6). It was filmed but the filmmaker hasn't been able to release it due to Lucasfilm. I remember watching a documentary on the whole thing. It's too bad as I would be interested in seeing the scene. It looked professionally done from the behind the scenes footage for it. They even interviewed Lucasfilm associated people who are still very negative/resentful of Prowse after all these years. |
