Don't worry JJ, Star wars fans are the most loving forgiving and mature group of people in the universe just make the best ending you can that's all we could ask for. No pressure whatsoever.

Disney: "So JJ, what are we gonna do with episode 9?"
JJ Abrams: *slams Return of the Jedi script on desk* "Take a wild fucking guess"

**Luke wakes up, sweating...he looks around confused as he whispers to himself...**
"It was just a dream..."

George wrote it in '83. It's called "Return of the Jedi".

Came to watch the interview but somehow landed on Planet Crait. Such salt in the comments section lol

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Mr.Krabs sold spongebobs soul for 62 cents

J.J. Abrams didn't ruin my childhood, fucking _polio_ did.

Death Star : Planet Killer
Order 66 : Jedi Killer
Starkiller Base : System killer
J.J Abrahams, Rian Johnson and Catherine : Franchise killer

Remember that one episode of SpongeBob where he had to do a boating school essay but all he had on the paper was "The"
That's pretty much J.J.'s script.

Saw the original "The play that goes wrong" in London just last week and I agree with Mr Abrams. It's extremely funny. Laughed almost non stop the entire runtime

Hate American late night shows.

I expect the script consists of a box with question marks shimmering with lens flares.

[Mersault]

"A script in advance isn't something I've always had". It all makes sense now.

[dubrider]

Of course it is already written, it probably only took a few hours^^

[ismorezro]

"the script is already written..." even the guy doesn't sound excited.

[SierraSierraFoxtrot]

Couldn't care less. Fool me once...

[idawg]

Abrams said that people who hated last jedi are afraid of women? Yeah JJ, thats why my two favorite movies from last year have female leads. Maybe the new star wars movies just suck

I actually love the new Movies and don’t get caught up in the politics. SW is pure escapism for me and I have always loved it. More SW movies, if well made (which they are) are always a fun time for me. I had so much fun in Episode 7 and I for the most part liked Episode 8. We hadn’t had Star Wars in 10 years after Episode 3 in 2005 and now they’re giving us new stuff, and everyone’s throwing a fit.
And I have arguments as to why people are wrong about the common complaints of the new movies.
I’m open to (friendly) debate.
