It's no secret that Lucasfilm took a page from the Marvel book by selecting indie directors for their new "Star Wars" films. In a recent interview, block buster directory, Ridley Scott, got candid about the "Star Wars" films, and his desire to not be apart of the franchise. When asked if he would ever want to direct one, Scott said no because it's too risky. Scott commented: ?I think they like to be in control, and I like to be in control myself, when you get a guy who?s done a low-budget movie and you suddenly give him $180 million, it makes no sense whatsoever." Scott pointed out that reshoots are really expensive, and Lucasfilms had to bring in big directors like Ron Howard and Tony Gilroy to finish projects and reshoots on the recent Star Wars movies.
Since Lucasfilm started making ?Star Wars? films again, the production company has been taking a page from other major franchises like Marvel and selecting indie directors to direct the series? latest installments. But ?Alien? and ?Blade Runner? creator Ridley Scott doesn?t think that?s such a good idea. In a candid (and profane) interview with Vulture to promote his latest film ?All The Money In The World,? Scott was asked if he would be willing to direct a ?Star Wars? film.
