'Star Wars: Episode IX' Premiere Date, Spoilers: One Year After, Actor Not Worried About Fan Expectations

If there is one thing about the “Star Wars” franchise that has proven true after all this time, it’s that the fans of the movies can be some of the meanest people alive. They can literally ruin someone’s life over their appearance in the films. On that note, it would seem that the folks working on “Star Wars: Episode IX” are not really putting a lot of pressure on themselves. Along with the details that a one-year time jump will be involved, it’s refreshing that the actors not worrying over fan expectations.

To be clear, if “Star Wars: Episode IX” will be a bad movie, it is going to absolutely piss off a lot of viewers. However, the filmmakers should still be given free rein to do what they need to do with the movies that they are tasked to make. It seems that this is the approach that J.J. Abrams has been using to make the upcoming installment to the sci-fi space opera.

On top of the next movie feature a time jump of one year since the events of the first movie, it would also appear that the director has a much less stringent approach in making the film. At least, this is what Oscar Isaac who plays Poe Dameron has already said about filming “Star Wars: Episode IX” in an interview with IndieWire.

"The way they’ve been shooting it right now is looser than it’s been for the last two times," the actor said at the time. "It does feel like a relief to get on set and feel like, ‘Oh, we can try things.’ It’s a testament to J.J. coming back and feeling confident. There’s less pressure for it to be right. We just want to make a good movie and have a really good time while doing it."

The actor also noted that he doesn’t have to worry as much about fan reactions since he is just one of the performers. He isn’t directing “Star Wars: Episode IX.” With the film set to hit theatres in December 2019, they still have plenty of time to work on it.
