And Trevorrow almost got a chance to play in that sandbox, tapped to follow up Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi.
It’s no surprise that Trevorrow — who also helmed Jurassic World and Safety Not Guaranteed — is from that generation of filmmakers whose careers were deeply influenced by the Star Wars trilogy.
But creative differences sent him packing, and now J.J. Abrams will return to conclude the trilogy he started with The Force Awakens.
This is all that Colin Trevorrow shared on the matter, so we’re actually hoping that he does open up a bit more on the creative thought process that links The Book of Henry to A New Hope.
