Colin Trevorrow, the first director associated with Star Wars: Episode IX, sat down with ComicBook.com during the promotional tour of Jurassic World Dominion and addressed a possible return to Star Wars.
Comicbook.com was lucky enough to catch up with the filmmaker during an event for Universal’s mega-hit. During that conversation, the topic of Star Wars came up. Trevorrow has had many brushes with the galaxy far, far away. He says that for now, there will not be a return in the near future. The director pointed out that he’s been working on these massive franchises in one form or another for almost 10 years straight. For Trevorrow, there is some appeal to working with a smaller story for the moment. Star Wars is so massive that it throws a sizable shadow over anything else you do for years. So, the director is looking forward to exploring his own ideas for a second before the next big franchise opportunity rolls along. Check out what he had to say to Chris Killian down below.
“I don’t know,” Trevorrow admitted when asked about the return, “Not because of Star Wars, but because I’ve spent 8 or 9 making new versions of the things we love when we were kids. You know? In one place or another. There’s not just a lot of pressure on that, but it also casts a shadow over everything else that you want to do… I made a small film after Jurassic World, and I was the ‘Director of Star Wars’ when I made it. And I think to be able to step out of that a little bit and not having everything I do be in the context of our belief systems is interesting to me.”
Always in motion the future is.
