VIDEO : Rian Johnson Wants To Direct Star Wars

In light of the statement that Colin Trevorrow will no longer direct Episode IX, The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson's comments from earlier this year could open the door for the possibility of him directing Episode IX as well. In July Johnson tweeted, "I would do another SW movie in a heartbeat. I've had the time of my life." Trevorrow's departure came as a shock to many, but pundits assumed it was only a matter of time before the announcement was made.
