Whedon against Big Three return to Star Wars

March 11th, 2013 by Marc 2 Comments

One man who many thought of as the dream director of the new Star Wars movies has come out and said he doesn’t think Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker should be the main focus of the new films.

Joss Whedon was asked by Digital Spy during promotion of his latest movie Much Ado About Nothing what he thought about the return of the Big Three to a galaxy far, far away.

He replied: “You know, I wouldn’t go back, I’d go forward. I would want to create characters that would resonate the way that they did.”

So there you go. Is he right? Should the new movies focus on a new group entirely? As ever let us know your thoughts.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
