And to be perfectly honest, I don’t care about why Trevorrow and Lucasfilm split, leaving Star Wars Episode IX temporarily without a director. If Kennedy wants to rule her Star Wars universe with an iron fist (not the lame Danny Rand kind) and micromanage her Lucasfilm projects to the point where she ends up removing, replacing or firing the initial directors in four of the current six Star Wars movies (counting whatever film Josh Trank was supposed to direct) in some form of production, that’s her prerogative. In a world where everything is the best or the worst, Jurassic World is, well, pretty good. That the reception (financially and artistically) to The Book of Henry (which has fine performances and is at-worst competently directed) should have had any bearing on Star Wars is insane. I don’t know why he is no longer directing Star Wars 9.
