Time for the Lucasfilm curse to strike again!

Does this dude have passion projects or is he just a hired hand? Like can we get someone that loves Star Wars to direct a Star Wars movie please?

But in a recent interview with Collider's Editor-in-Chief Steve Weintraub, Shawn Levy said:
"If you had told me back when I was directing Big Fat Liar that someday I'd be working on the biggest TV show in the world and directing Marvel followed by Star Wars, I would've told you "You're fucking nuts." But it is so thrilling. And it is the kind of big canvas storytelling that I've always dreamed of doing.
I've gotten lucky because ironically it started with Night at the Museum where you're really building a world, and you're incorporating comedy and heart. And you and I have spoken a lot, that’s very much what I tried to do on Free Guy and Adam Project. And so to get the calls from both Marvel and Lucasfilm, really gratifying. Because I've done this job for a while and these are calls I definitely hoped I would someday get. And the fact that it's all coming now and that this is the next several years of my life is really... I'm just stoked. I don't have deeper words than that. I am happy and excited about it every day."

There was a time I would have said he is a great choice. Real Steel, Stranger Things, Free Guy, he knows how to make fun stuff that taps into your inner child. Action adventure with some (innocent) humor. But I fear
1. Too much of the fanbase doesn't want that anymore. Everything has to be dark and serious now.
2. I think the movies, unfortunately, have become too divisive. People have become too fanatical about them and lack objectivity.

The movies are divisive for a reason. They’re poorly written more times than not. Poor character development. Spotty character archetypes. Plot holes and mythos departures too frequently.
The shows have less of those problems. Which is why the shows are much less divisive.
For a movie to be more than a “fun”, visually appealing blockbuster - for a movie to become a franchise (or sustain being a franchise) - it has to avoid (or minimize) the aforementioned problems. And let’s be honest, Star Wars is a franchise.
