Is it joining Star Wars?
This is not the first time that Chloé Zhao shows a lot of admiration for Star Wars, and hints that she would like to be part of said franchise. Some time ago, when she was interviewed by the journalist Al horner, the filmmaker spoke on this same topic. I’m going to have to choose very carefully what I say here. Let’s say it is a world for which I feel a lot of admiration because it has been a very important part of my life », declared.
Although the director’s participation is only a wish, it was confirmed that Kevin Feige’s Star Wars film will feature screenwriter Michael Waldron. «’Star Wars’ is a story about family. Luke, Han and Leia are a family and we love seeing them together. And we hate it when they are separated. They are great characters. It is nothing new. I’m not going to surprise anyone with this headline but this is my best asset », commented the scriptwriter in a chat with GQ.
