Trevorrow Talks More About The Loss Of Carrie Fisher And Filming In Ireland

The Irish Examiner published a couple of articles where Colin Trevorrow  made some brief comments on Star Wars: Episode IX when he was speaking with the press association for his latest film, The Book of Henry. Click through to see what the Episode XI Director had to say about our dear Princess.

 

Trevorrow spoke a little about how the loss of Carrie Fisher has impacted the production of Episode IX on both an emotional and practical level.

She had a major role in the film and it’s something we had to deal with emotionally at first. Now we’ve had to deal with it in very practical ways and in a form of storytelling we know is going to honour her and keep her soul alive, but it is an unfortunate reality that we’re just going to have to handle. It’s been tough emotionally – and logistically we’ll figure that part out, but she was just very important to the Star Wars family and that was the hardest part. –Colin Trevorrow

He also went into detail about that favor he asked of The Last Jedi Director Rian Johnson.

Not even a whole scene, just a tiny little moment. But it’s amazing how tiny moments can be… I think that’s almost become a right of passage now, for each director to ask for just one little thing.What that is to me is representative of how collaborative the Lucasfilm environment is. Now that Rian is finishing his film I definitely check in with him as much as I can.                                                                       -Colin Trevorrow

As for Ireland, Trevorrow discusses the benefits of using Ireland as a shooting destination for “other-worldly” locations.

I think what’s most important about the locations in Star Wars is that they connect us to something on our planet that is elemental and deeply recognizable as a space that humans have set foot on and feels real, and yet has a little bit of the element of the other-worldly, and has an almost-spiritual connection to the earth. And I think that Ireland, especially the island that we used in the film, has that. It’s slightly hyper-real, yet we know it’s really there.       –Colin Trevorrow

Be sure to check out the entire article from The Irish Examiner on the loss of Carrier Fisher and also the article that talks more on Ireland and some other interesting tidbits here.

I’m still very far from sold on Colin Trevorrow directing a Star Wars movie in any capacity, but an episodic film? No way. What are your thoughts on Colin Trevorrow taking the helm of Episode IX? It seems he just keeps making things worse for himself with each movie he releases, but we all know Emperor Kennedy will fire him if he isn’t doing what needs to be done.
