Certainly, Rian Johnson wants people to like his movies, but there are simply too many people with too many opinions out there.
Even if Johnson wanted to try to make the fans happy with his new trilogy, as he tells Fandango’s Erik Davis at SXSW, such a thing is essentially impossible.
It’s certainly true that Star Wars fans are passionate.
As much as the original trilogy is fairly universally loved, everything that has come after has both its passionate fans and its equally, if not more so, passionate detractors.
