It's pretty obvious why they like Johnson. He agrees with their politics and he's a good little boy who will put anything into the film they ask for. I guarantee that it was Lucasfilm/Kennedy that wanted the cute animals in the film to sell more toys. Unfortunately for them, it backfired. |
I just don't get why they trusted him with STAR WARS. I just looked at his resume and it's not worth the risk, imo. Is identity politics really worth risking billions?
I mean what his best movies is Looper and Brothers Bloom? your gonna put that on your biggest franchise.
I see his did a couple tv episode that were praised, but TV and movie are completely different. You can always tell when a director is/was a tv director. The movies just come off with a sort of tv/soap opera drama, or this cheesy closeup views that they use on tv. Makes you feel like your watching some tv show season finale versus what should be a big budget holleywood movie.
