Star Wars 9's Original Director Opens Up About Duel Of Fates Script
Director Colin Trevorrow opens up about Duel of the Fates — his planned Star Wars 9 film. The filmmaker was originally hired to helm the sequel trilogy capper following J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson's respective stints. Unfortunately, while he was in the middle of writing the script for Star Wars 9, it was announced that he would exit the project due to creative differences. This forced Lucasfilm to scramble for a replacement, which they ultimately found in Abrams.
Considering the fact that Trevorrow was already in the process of cracking the story for Star Wars 9, he and his writing partner, Derek Connelly, already had a good idea of how to approach the movie. That's until production woes hampered the movie, the biggest blow to it was the unexpected death of Carrie Fisher, whose General Leia Organa was supposed to be at the center of its storytelling. Beyond the legacy character, however, Trevorrow had interesting arcs laid out for the new generation of Star Wars players like Rey, Kylo Ren, Finn, and Poe — most of them were vastly different from where they ended up inStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
