Rian Johnson Says Nothing Can Stop Him Now
In the wake of directors Benioff and Weiss parting ways with Lucasfilm, Rian Johnson reassured his fans and haters alike that he is “inevitable” when it comes to Star Wars.
“Dread it. Run from it. My trilogy will arrive all the same,” joked the filmmaker Tuesday morning via Skype. The controversial Last Jedi director, whose on-again-off-again trilogy of new Star Wars films is back on again, had nothing but good things to say about the former Game Of Thrones show runners, with whom he had been collaborating before they exited their untitled Star Wars project.
“Compete idiots. Utterly useless, but really sweet. Like a pair of rescue dogs who decided to make movies. Great facial hair though. My God, I would kill for such a beard.”

The 45-year-old self-proclaimed “Twitterholic” went on to explain how Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy looks at him like the son she never had.
“Kat and I have such a tight bond, we may as well be blood relatives. I swear… we make JJ and his kid look like complete strangers. I love my Kay Kay, and she promised that as long as she’s in place, nothing is getting in the way of my Star Wars trilogy. So keep crying haters, I’ll be sipping your delicious tears.”

The Rise of Skywalker director JJ Abrams was unavailable for comment.
