VIDEO : Star Wars Director Wants You To Be Surprised By 'Last Jedi's' Humor

The Last Jedi hits theaters in less than three weeks and, thanks to the barrage of marketing materials, fans can start to feel like they've virtually seen the entire film. Writer/director of the film Rian Johnson hopes that, when audiences see the final film, they're surprised by how much fun it is, given how depressing much of the marketing materials have been. ?That?s one thing I hope people will be surprised about with the movie. Even before marketing materials began to surface about the upcoming film, audiences were drawing comparisons to how this new trilogy of films would mirror the original trilogy, making this upcoming installment a surrogate Empire Strikes Back.
