Five years after the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the eighth film in the Skywalker saga remains a contentious work to some and a stroke of genius to others. Debates still rage on about the place it has in the larger Star Wars canon, but also which parts of it work, which parts of it don't, and whether or not some piece of it"ruined" a character or a franchise that is fifty years old.
The filmmaker called out two specific moments from the original trilogy of movies. Johnson called out in Return of the Jedi when Han Solo is tied up over a pile of tinder and the ewoks are preparing to light it on fire and cook him. In response, Solo tries to blow out the flames. Johnson then went on to talk about his appraoch to the film, noting that, despite the assumption by some that his movie was subverting for the sake of doing so, his take wasn't just as a meta-exercise related to Star Wars.
