If 2015’s highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens was essentially one long homage to A New Hope, the approach certainly made sense after the franchise’s decade long absence from the big screen. Before the saga moved onto the divisive new territory of The Last Jedi, it feels like writer-director J.J. Abrams set out to prove that he could ‘do Star Wars right’ – that is to say, do it in a way that stayed faithful to the old movies. But now, three years, two episodes, and two spinoff flicks later, the filmgoing public is far more adjusted to the idea of this space saga being back on our screens, which perhaps frees Abrams up to do things a little differently in next year’s Star Wars: Episode IX.
That’s one way of interpreting this recent statement from actor Oscar Isaac, telling IndieWire that things feel looser on the set for this upcoming trilogy-closer.
