Lucasfilm unexpectedly parted ways with director Colin Trevorrow yesterday, leaving Star Wars Episode IX without a director for the time being. This is just the latest creative shakeup at Lucasfilm, which continues to have issues when hiring young directors and/or relatively inexperienced tentpole filmmakers.
Earlier this year, Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired from the Han Solo stand-alone movie, replaced by Ron Howard. While Gareth Edwards is the credited director of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the film underwent extensive reshoots and restructuring under the guidance of Tony Gilroy. And Josh Trank was preemptively dropped from his Star Wars project after the fiasco of Fantastic Four.
So yeah, Lucasfilm, it looks like you could use some help. And who better to offer it than us, some people on the internet?
The Flixist staff has some ideas on who should direct Star Wars Episode IX: The Search for Curly's Gold. Here are our picks for the job. Let us know who you'd like to direct Episode IX in the comments.
