Brazilian Star Wars Fans Starts Petition For George Lucas To Direct Episode IX

Star Wars fan Yuri Luiz of Sao Paolo, Brazil has started a petition on Change.org to get Colin Trevorrow replaced as director of Star Wars: Episode IX with George Lucas. The film is set to be released in 2019. Lucas will be 74 then. He previously stated he wasn’t interested in working on any of the new movies.

Luiz wrote: “We have no problem with Colin Trevorrow, but he’s not the right guy to direct Star Wars Episode IX. George Lucas as director of Episode IX would be the perfect way to end this new trilogy and make an epic farewell between the father of Star Wars and the whole universe of the galaxy far, far away … ”

The petition currently has 6,491 supporters.

If Lucas knows about this, he's probably drooling with excitement over the fact that people actually want him to do another after how they bashed the prequels.

No. No no no. Heck no.

These petitions don't even work.

[ZariusTwo]

Would'nt mind him. At least we'd get originality, in good and bad doses.

[ToTheNines]

I'd rather eat a Bantha penis.

I'd rather just get good doses.

Lucas needs to stay away from these new films. I respect him for what he started, but his time is done. Let the new kids take the reins.

If you're a fan of the prequels and don't give a damn of the first trilogy, then maybe. But come on, Lucas only directed New Hope of the OT and even then he had a lot of help and input from others.

The guy's a mess on his own, the comic adaptation of his Star Wars draft is proof of that.

I'm a little torn. On the one hand, I'm not too thrilled to have the hack from Jurassic world...(sorry, THAT was a **** film) on the other, the prequels.

It's the fanboy in me, but dammit, I'll say it anyway...

David Fincher.

Never gonna happen, but it would be amazing.

[JakeSully]

No way, keep him away as he has retired you know and keep him away from screenplay writing as the writing in the prequels were terrible when he should had hired a proper writer.

[ZariusTwo]

Like the dialogue in Force Awakens was any better...

So, wait...is it the cool thing now to retroactively think the prequels were anything but dog sh*t? Are people actually convincing themselves of that now?

Oh, autistic Internet man-children, never change.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

The prequels had their moments. But they were all overshadowed by the looming BS that came attached with each film.

It certainly is.

Probably more of a "grass is greener" syndrome taken to the extreme in usual internet style.

[Commenter 42]

The prequels were horrible. Not for nothing, but this is how the "Superman 78 is terrible" thing started. Same situation.

This Petition ain't gonna change anything, this is just a fan that didn't like The Force Awakens for borrowing from A New Hope.

I'm not fully following this logic. Lucas created A New Hope so if they didn't like Force Awakens wouldn't it be bad for him to make a new one? :D

[plastroncafe]

Maybe they got a better translation in Brazil?

Some of these so called fans were expecting something completely different, and they complain cause of some of the retreads.

As long as there is a competent writer on board and producers not being his "yes man" like McCullum was in the prequels then I'd be fine with this. Honestly I'd be fine with almost anyone over Trevorrow. Still can't believe they hired him.

This made my day. :tlol:

I can. Jurassic World was a huge hit... of course doors are going to open for him. Think of how much excitement can be generated for your film if the trailer says it's directed by the man behind the 3rd highest-grossing movie of all time?

Jurassic World was terrible. That's why I don't like the Trevorrow hire. Star Wars doesn't need to advertise the director to sell the movie.

[Shark_Blade]

Jurassic World storyline is so cliche and awful. I am completely sick of the same white, heteronormative love story being shoved down my throat by Hollywood. I can't watch a movie about dinosaurs running on a rampage in a park without them forcing a pasty male and a pasty female into a no-chemistry, forced-smile, by-the-way romantic subplot. I have probably seen forty-five variations of the same bland ****ing couple falling in love. Oh wait! Now they're falling in love during WAR TIME. SO ORIGINAL. BUT WAIT. NOW THEY'RE SEPARATED BECAUSE OF LIGHT-HEARTED EMBARRASSING MISUNDERSTANDINGS. ****ING DELIGHTFUL. GOD

This is why Jurassic Park is waay better and the best in the series. None of this horrible predictable love during chaos routine.

Thank God that Star Wars' first films are the best in each saga - Phantom Menace, A New Hope, The Force Awakens.

Can't be better then Backstroke of the West.

This reminds me of that petitioned to let Jonathan Frakes direct Star Trek Beyond. I don't think either are good ideas.

What I would like is if they gave Uncle George a recurring cameo like Stan Lee. It's like poetry... it rhymes.

Frakes' direction on First Contact was great, and he's done a few tv episodes I've enjoyed. His handling of Insurrection was the least of that film's problems, and I LIKED Insurrection.

Thunderbirds on the other hand...yeah. Let's not go there again.

I'd rather hear ANYTHING Kasdan and Abrams wrote over the **** about sand and Naboo.

O.o
Erm, I don't know what you're smoking to believe Phantom Menace is better than Revenge of the Sith.


Also, Trevorrow as the director makes me REALLY worried, but also, I still have hope. Jurassic World was a blockbuster action movie. Was it a bad movie? For me, not really. It's just fun to watch for a first viewing, maybe a second if you're bored at night and have nothing to do. Is it soulless and just made for money, and has terrible writing? Yup.

However, the movie itself LOOKED good. The cinematography was pretty well handled, which is partly do to Trevorrow... What I'm saying is that we've got Rian Johnson writing the movie, who's a great story-teller. If he pumps out a great script for Episode 8, and with Kathleen Kennedy overseeing the project, I'm pretty sure Episode 9 will be good. I don't think it'll be good as Episodes 7 and 8 per say, and will probably be the weakest of the trilogy, but it does have a possibility to be good.


JUST ANYONE BUT LUCAS.

Jurassic World was a great movie if you turn your brain off and just enjoy Chris Pratt and dinosaurs.

Hell, not even a lobotomy makes The Phantom Menace watchable. Not sure what's going on with <cough> other people <cough> that they like it. Possession, maybe?
