While rumor have since emerged about why exactly Trevorrow stepped down fromEpisode IX , the film maker himself has remain mum on the case until now . During an interview withEmpireto raise the sequelJurassic World : Fallen Kingdom(which Trevorrow cowrote and produce , but did not direct ) , the formerEpisode IXhelmsman reflect fondly , if more or less vaguely , on his experience making the movie :
“ I do n’t want to talk too much about it because I do n’t want to involve the way that fans get to see these films . When we were kids , these movies come up to us from far away . They were a endowment . And the more we talk about how they ’re made , the more it bring out that they ’re just movies . But they ’re not just movies , they ’re more than that . Beyond that , I got the opportunity to tell a account that is a celebration of everything I conceive in , I scram to say it to George Lucas and I got to tell it to Luke Skywalker , and those are experiences I will hold dear for the rest of my life . ”
Differing reports about Trevorrow ’s time onEpisode IXhave emerged over the preceding year ; some allege thatthe filmmaker was difficult to bring withand unreceptive to feedback from Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy , while others say that both Trevorrow and Kennedy were dysphoric withhowEpisode IX ’s screenplay was shaping up , under Trevorrow and author Jack Thorne ’s watch .
