Star Wars Director Says It's About Time A Woman Makes A Star Wars Movie
Jan 02, 2024
Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Sharmeed Obaid-Chinoy is directing an upcoming Star Wars movie that brings back Daisy Ridley in the role of Rey. Obaid-Chinoy will become the first woman to direct a Star Wars film, dating back to the franchise's origins in the 1970s. Speaking about this, Obaid-Chinoy told CNN that she is "very thrilled" to make the movie and create something that is "very special.""We're in 2024 now, and I think it's about time we had a woman come forward to shape the story in a galaxy far, far away," she said.Obaid-Chinoy won Best Documentary, Short Subjects Academy Awards for Saving Face (2012) and A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness (2015).In 2020, Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy told the BBC that a woman would eventually direct a Star Wars movie, saying that would "absolutely" happen, "without question." Victoria Mahoney was a second unit director on The Rise of Skywalker, but a woman has never claimed a top directing credit on a Star Wars movie.On the TV side of things, The Mandalorian has featured a number of female directors, including Deborah Chow and Bryce Dallas Howard. Chow went on to direct the Obi-Wan TV series, too.Another high-profile franchise that has never had a female director is James Bond. Producer Barbara Broccoli and Skyfall director Sam Mendes have both said they want to see a woman direct a future 007 film.As for Obaid-Chinoy's Star Wars movie, little is known about it apart from the fact that Ridley will come back to play Rey. It is expected that this film will be the first of the three new Star Wars films to come to theaters, possibly releasing in December 2025.According to a report, Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is writing the Rey movie, taking over for Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson.

John Boyega Ranks The Star Wars Sequel Movies And Names The "Worst"
Jul 20, 2023
Actor John Boyega has shared his personal ranking for the Star Wars sequel movies, in which he played the ex-Stormtrooper Finn.Boyega, who starred in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker, was asked to rank the sequel movies from best to worst during a Q&A with First We Feast, while promoting his Netflix film They Cloned Tyrone. At first, it looked like Boyega wasn't going to answer, but the actor quickly said, "Hell yeah I'll do it," before sharing his favorite film out of the three and the "worst."What is @johnboyega’s LEAST favorite Star Wars movie? In this episode of #TruthOrDabRapidFire, @johnboyega has two simple choices: tell the truth… or suffer the wrath of THE LAST DAB 🥵 ❤️‍🔥 **This episode was filmed before the SAG-AFTRA strike. pic.twitter.com/CwZFbEcNvv — First We Feast (@firstwefeast) July 19, 2023"Star Wars: The Force Awakens is most definitely the best," Boyega said. "Second, for me, comes Star Wars 9 [The Rise of Skywalker], and then the worst--in the most respectful sense--is Episode 8 [The Last Jedi]. But they're all lovely." The clip shows Boyega glancing to the side and smiling after saying this.Back in 2020, following the release of 2019's The Rise of Skywalker, Boyega spoke out on the mishandling of his character in Star Wars and the Black experience in Hollywood. The film saw Finn and Kelly Marie Tran's character Rose Tico sidelined after being much more involved in the previous film, The Last Jedi."What I would say to Disney is do not bring out a Black character, market them to be much more important in the franchise than they are, and then have them pushed to the side," Boyega said. "It's not good."Like, you guys knew what to do with Daisy Ridley, you knew what to do with Adam Driver. You knew what to do with these other people, but when it came to Kelly Marie Tran, when it came to John Boyega, you know f*** all. So what do you want me to say? What they want you to say is, 'I enjoyed being a part of it. It was a great experience...' Nah, nah, nah. I'll take that deal when it's a great experience. They gave all the nuance to Adam Driver, all the nuance to Daisy Ridley. Let's be honest. Daisy knows this. Adam knows this. Everybody knows. I’m not exposing anything."During Star Wars Celebration 2023, Lucasfilm announced three more Star Wars films including one that would see the return of Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker 15 years after the events of Episode 9. Disney announced new release dates for each movie back in June.It's unclear at this time if Boyega--or any other cast members of the sequel trilogy like Oscar Isaac and Kelly Marie Tran--will be returning to the franchise.
