The pressure of being known as the ‘director of Star Wars‘, especially on the big screen, is a pressure carried by a select few, and Colin Trevorrow discusses that as he transitions out of the Jurassic World trilogy and into the next phase of his career, one which in the past was occupied by his work on Episode IX.
“I don’t know, not because of Star Wars, but because I’ve spent 8 or 9 making new versions of the things we love when we were kids. You know? In one place or another. There’s not just a lot of pressure on that, but it also casts a shadow over everything else that you want to do… I made a small film after Jurassic World, and I was the ‘Director of Star Wars’ when I made it. And I think to be able to step out of that a little bit and not having everything I do be in the context of our belief systems is interesting to me.”
