Yo a Abrams le leí hace dos meses ya diciendo que él habría hecho las cosas de forma distinta a Johnson pero que estaba acostumbrado a trabajar en series y que por tanto a tener que adaptarse a cambios de rumbo o dirección, así que no veo la contradicción la verdad.
I never found myself trying to repair anything. If I had done VIII, I would have done things differently, just as Rian would have done things differently if he had done VII. But having worked on television series, I was accustomed to creating stories and characters that then were run by other people.
If you’re willing to walk away from the thing that you created and you believe it’s in trustworthy hands, you have to accept that some of the decisions being made are not gonna be the same that you would make. And if you come back into it, you have to honor what’s been done.
Por otro lado, ya en abril dijo que no había un plan minucioso para la trilogía, sino los trazos principales de la historia
I do not want to open the 'Episode VIII' keg, but that was a story Rian Johnson had written and told based on part seven before we even met. So he steered her in a different direction and we had to react. [...] There were some bigger big-picture ideas that came out decades ago, plus a lot of ideas that Lawrence Kasdan and I had already at 'Episode VII', but the lack of a clear, inevitable direction, of a forest for the whole thing, presented a huge challenge.
