Rian Johnson Thinks Someone Other Than A Male White Director Should Lead The Next Film

Description

Rian Johnson thinks it's time a female director helmed a 'Star Wars' movie. So far in the franchise's history, all eight films - including the two spin-offs 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story' and the Han Solo standalone movie - have been directed by white male filmmakers, but Johnson admitted it's time for a woman or a person of colour to tell a story in a galaxy far, far away. 'The Last Jedi' features a very diverse cast - one of the most eclectic in the franchise's entire history - and Johnson admits "it felt right" having so many different actors of varying ethnicity.
