The Last Jedi opened up in theaters three years ago today and despite mixed reactions from critics and fans worldwide, director Rian Johnson decided to thank them all by sharing a special behind the scenes look on Twitter.
The pictures offer some new look at Carrie Fisher's Leia, Yoda, C3-PO and other creatures. Rian wrote: "I've said it before and i ain't done saying it, Star Wars fans are the BEST. Thanks for sharing all the kind toughts today, can't believe it's been 3 years. Love you guys".
The movie was full of controversial moments and in many ways contraddicted J.J. Abrams' decisions made in Episode VII, but Rian always said that he felt proud of his choices.
Rian Johnson was scheduled to direct a new Star Wars trilogy but, after the announcement made by Kathleen Kennedy at the Investor Day, it seems that his project has now been put on hold.
