Joining fellow writers on the Hollywood picket lines, Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson employed their literature skills to throw a few jabs at the GFFA after both were removed from the Rey Skywalker project now being led by Steven Knight and directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy. Lindelof previously revealed he was removed from the project after submitting a first draft.
“Ninety-nine days of steps under my belt and I don’t know if there’s any end in sight, but I’m feeling good, strong, convinced and unified,” Lindelof told The Hollywood Reporter, speaking on the WGA strike. “Justin [Britt-Gibson] and I wrote a Star Wars movie together and picketing Disney is a lot more fun than writing a Star Wars movie.”
Added Britt-Gibson: “This will not be in vain. This will be done so we have a better future for writers, for actors, for everybody out here on the line. … Strike the Empire back!”
