Colin Trevorrow is preparing himself to take on the massive task of directing the still untitled
Star Wars: Episode IX, an idea that has the director excited. However, there is one thing that comes along with helming the film that has Trevorrow a little sad - and it has nothing to do with the technical side of making the movie.
Speaking to
Empire, Trevorrow revealed that he won't be able to enjoy Rian Johnson's
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi for the first time as a fan.
“Unfortunately, Rian’s [Johnson] film is the first one I won’t be able to watch as an audience member," he explained.
"I got that privilege with The Force Awakens. I just got to go see it with a Star Wars fan. I got to sit next to my kid and just giggle as we read the crawl because we were so excited. Rogue One was the same way. I didn’t see it in advance. That time is over now. Star Wars is no longer that experience for me. If there’s anything kind of sad about it, it’s that I don’t get to have that.”
While he's doing his prep work for Episode IX, Trevorrow has to be privy to all the plot twists, spoilers and possible new characters that could be introduced. Seeing it all come together will no doubt be very be exciting for Trevorrow, but it must also lose some of its punch not being able to go in completely spoiler free. That said, he does also state that he,
“wouldn’t trade it.”
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi will be release on December 15, 2017.
