10 Star Wars Mistakes Confirmed By The Creators

10. No Test Screening - Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Rian Johnson, even outside of Star Wars, has typically never seemed to be put off by outside opinions on his work. He has stated previously that he doesn't agree with giving fans what they want, and that he doesn't particularly pay much mind to what has happened previously in any movie franchise he is a part of.

He became infamous within the Star Wars fandom when The Last Jedi released, with Episode VIII being by far the most divisive movie yet. Its 42% percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is by far the lowest any theatrical Star Wars release earned.

The only regret from the process that Johnson does have is that there was no test screening allowed. Generally, the director wouldn't indulge in such things, and with the potential for spoilers leaking greater than ever, LucasFilm holds a very similar policy. However, on this occasion, Rian Johnson would have loved to get some feedback on his controversial movie.

It's unclear what, if any, changes he would have made had this been the case, though the feedback would have almost certainly strongly suggested certain amendments. And in what circumstance would you wish for the opinions of fans before release and not want to act on it? The Last Jedi could have been very different, indeed.
