For Star Wars
fans
,
The Last Jedi
, the central episode of the last trilogy, is the subject of debate and many are those who criticize the film for the presence of a humor that is often too silly.
Yet, in the eyes of director Rian Johnson, this aspect of the film's writing is entirely in tune with the feature films that had preceded it.
“For me, everything in the movie is in the spirit of
Star Wars
.
And everything about the movie is deeply rooted in what
Star Wars
means to me,” the filmmaker explained in an interview with GQ as he returns with Netflix movie
Glass Onion
.
“Everyone has a different point of view.
I know there are
Star Wars
fans who somehow think
Star Wars
was serious stuff, like the
Batman
movies or whatever.
I was so young when I saw
The Empire Strikes Back
that it had a profound impact on me.
I was terrified because I was young enough not to experience a
Star Wars
movie , but to have experienced it as something realistic.

Proof by facts
"But for anyone who thinks silly humor has no place in the
Star Wars
universe , I wonder if they've seen
Return of the Jedi
," Rian Johnson then asked.
“There's literally a scene where Han Solo is like a cartoon character… He's tied to a bar and as a flaming torch approaches him he tries to put it out by blowing on it.

In the end, for Rian Johnson, the DNA of
Star Wars
depends precisely on a certain balance between the serious tone of the events and these naive breaths which have always been present in the intergalactic saga.
