Rian-Johnson-Looper

Another day, another piece of Star Wars news.

Deadline broke the story today J.J. Abrams will not be directing episodes VIII and IX of the latest Star Wars trilogy. That distinction will go to Rian Johnson who wrote and directed the Sci-Fi hit film, Looper. He also has a few Breaking Bad episodes under his belt. Johnson will be writing and directing these two films.

Johnson is definitely already feeling the pressure of this monumental task that has been placed in his hands. He posted a clip from the astronaut film The Right Stuff on his twitter feed today. The clip has astronaut Alan Shepard saying, as he is strapped in and ready for launch in his rocket, “Dear Lord, please don’t let me fuck up.”
