that's what you get for announcing directors 4 years early

Thank the Maker! I enjoyed Safety Not Guaranteed enough, but Jurassic World was shit. Not that I have high hopes for Disney's Wars. I used to defend Kathleen Kennedy myself. After TFA, I started to change my tune.

One day a tell all book will come out about this era of Lucasfilm and MAYBE we'll learn the truth. Or at least hear from both sides. I'd love to know what the "creative differences" were. LOL

Did he complain about the climax being the porgs defeating the First Order on their home planet? Does he have a No Death Star policy? Or R'hllor forbid, was he planning on killing off Rey? I must needs know.

He had a movie that bombed terribly. This probably led to Disney tightening their reins on him, which led to him parting ways with the company because he didn't feel he had enough control of the project.
There's an old saying in Hollywood that, "You're only as good as the last movie you released." It doesn't matter what you did before. I'm sure Disney didn't want the bad publicity surrounding Colin's failed movie to impact the ending to their trilogy. Plus, the last installment in the franchise will be held to highest scrutiny out of the trilogy anyway - they don't want to give it to someone who hasn't proven himself. Colin, in the grand scheme of things, hasn't.

Ms Kennedy's HR and hiring policies seem to be improvable. Maybe she should keep out of it and focus on producing and directing the company (you know as managing director not artistic executive).
But I love the drama, it's very entertaining, hope we get more info with time.
And so far like in natural evolution the drama has led to better results! TFA had hardly any drama resulting in a stale rehash. Rogue had lots of drama and resulted in a better, darker film. Han Solo: the drama chased the jokers and clowns away and we get a solid director hopefully creating a watchable film (redeeming Kasdan). I deem it likely Ep IX will improve in similar ways from abandoning an upstart lightweight like Trevorrow.

While I was curious what Trevorrow could bring to the film I am glad he is gone, I liked Safety not Guaranteed and Jurassic World but from what I heard Book of Henry was crap. I am now more excited to see who they get to replace him, I hope JJ or rian comes back.

Seems like what's happening backstage is a lot more dramatic than what we get with the films. Anyways, I just hope JJ Abrams is not coming back, his lack of artistic creativity is unbecoming for this or any other franchise.

I actually blame the directors. Rumors suggest that the previous directors of the Han Solo movie were turning it into a comedy. Even Kasdan said they didn't understand the character.
As for Trevorow, I never liked that they gave him the job in the first place. The last thing we need is another director in this trilogy that relies heavily on nostalgia and retreads. (See Jurassic World)

There's never been so many creative differences and production problems and changes on a movie franchise! (4 out of 5 movies and only 2 have been released so far). If this wasn't Star Wars you have to wonder if "the damage wouldn't have already been done by now".

If this wasn't Star Wars you have to wonder if "the damage wouldn't have already been done by now". This is actually quite normal for big money making franchises. Marvel Studios has had numerous cases of studio versus director. I'm not saying it's a good thing, necessarily, but it's not unusual really. There are buckets of cash involved so these directors are under a microscope. If one of these movies flops it's a fuck ton of money they lose as a result.💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸

I could be wrong but I think only The Hulk franchise and Spiderman franchise rival that. They don't even make Hulk movies anymore. And Spider-Man has been rebooted twice. Just sayin...

Gareth Edwards was ghost directed by another guy on Rogue One... Trank was fired on the Boba Fett movie... Miller and Lord were fired on the Han solo movie... Trevorrow was fired on Star Wars 9... There have been serious issues with 4 out of 6 directors and they're only 2 movies in! If that's not symptomatic of problems I don't know what is!
