Of all the creatives in the Star Wars space who’d get the biggest cheers right now if they announced they were directing a big screen Star Wars movie, it’s probably Bryce Dallas Howard. Popular for her directing efforts on The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and later this year on Skeleton Crew as well as her superb voice work as Yaddle in Tales of the Jedi she spoke to Collider about that directing turn on Skeleton Crew and her hopes to one day helm a big screen epic.

“Well, I wish! So, what I’ll say is that I’m doing an episode of Skeleton Crew, which I’m super excited about. I went to college with Jon Watts and his writing partner in this, Chris Ford. And so, that was very exciting and getting to do that.”

“And I love…again, for the children in the audience, I’ll be mindful. I sometimes characterize myself in a professional sense as a dominant-submissive. What that means is that I’m very happy to go and play in someone else’s sandbox and be part of a team and to kind of be a vessel for someone else’s vision and try to kind of execute their vision with great enthusiasm as if it was my own. And then I also really love to work with a team and be kind of team captain. I enjoy that, I have strength in that area. I love filmmaking. I love directing. And so, I would absolutely love to direct a Star Wars film . I would absolutely love to have a Star Wars show.”

Her hit ratio is impressive within the realms of the GFFA with action, character, heart and reveals all prominent in her work, but what would you say to a BDH directed Star Wars movie? Let us know on our social media feeds.
