Adam Driver says writer and director Rian Johnson has created “new rules” for the franchise in Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi.
“[Johnson] created new rules for the Star Wars universe and balanced the familiar and unfamiliar very adeptly while respecting that his audience can handle ambiguity.
It was made clear fairly quickly in the first trailer for The Last Jedi that Rian Johnson was going to be taking a much different approach to the film, visually, tonally, and thematically than what J.J. Abrams did with The Force Awakens.
But how Kylo Ren may or may not factor into these new rules and creative directions will have to remain a mystery for the time being.
