So David Fincher passing on a Star Wars movie, which he talked more about on The Empire Podcast, makes sense.
Can you imagine what a David Fincher Star Wars movie would look like?
It’s unclear if he was ever approached to direct Star Wars: The Last Jedi or the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX, which sees J.J. Abrams returning to the director’s chair, after very successfully helming Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Ultimately, David Fincher just didn’t think that doing one of these Star Wars sequels, which come with a tremendous amount of pressure, was worth giving up two years of his life over.
