KYLE NEWMAN

(director, Fanboys)

I know people malign Return of the Jedi, which is sad. I think it’s one of the boldest independent movies ever made. The guy took the greatest villain of all time and he said, “You know what? I’m not going to do a layup. I’m going to humanize him. I’m going to create an even scarier villain,” which he did. Then he did this whole Luke rejecting his elders, embracing love—none of this was easy terrain for a sequel. Empire Strikes Back was a crazy sequel. That’s why I think people have issues with The Force Awakens. That’s why George has issues with The Force Awakens, which J.J. Abrams has openly admitted is a heavy retread. George committed to bold sequels and he put all of his own money into it. That was a $35 million investment out of his own pocket that would make or break him. That’s pretty crazy stuff. What filmmaker is putting $35 million—today that’s like a hundred and fifty—of their own money into a sequel? And they’re like, “I’m going to break the mold and not do what is expected.” That’s pretty crazy.
