Poker Face’s Rian Johnson: ‘If I make another Star Wars, I’ll be the happiest person’

  • Rian Johnson directed Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017, the second film in a new trilogy, which attracted both critical praise and divisive fan reactions.
  • Johnson was initially set to helm a trilogy announced just weeks before The Last Jedi's release, but subsequent delays and fan backlash stalled the project indefinitely.
  • After The Last Jedi, Johnson focused on creating original murder mystery works including Knives Out and Poker Face, both known for ensemble casts and strong audience appeal.
  • Netflix invested $450 million in two Knives Out sequels, and Poker Face features Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a lie-detecting detective in a howcatchem format praised for cinematic quality.
  • Although Johnson has not returned to Star Wars, he expressed happiness at the prospect while remaining focused on other projects and valuing his positive fan experiences.
