Joss Whedon Would Have Loved to Direct STAR WARS: EPISODE VII

Movie Joss Whedon Star Wars: The Force Awakens about 10 years agoby Joey Paur

Avengers director Joss Whedon revealed that he would have loved to direct Star Wars: Episode VII. He obviously couldn't do it because he's working on The Avengers 2, but here's what he had to say to Empire when they asked if he was disappointed that he didn't get to direct it,

There was a moment of rue that I was already committed, I'm not going to lie, because who didn't want to do that as a kid? But I think they got the right guy so just knowing that I'm going to enjoy the film when it comes out is great. I don't even have to do any work. Can J.J. also make Avengers...?

Whedon has a strong relationship with Disney, so who's to say that he won't end up directing one of the future installments? I hope he does--he'd give fans something incredible!

If Whedon does do a Star Wars film, what aspect of the universe would you like to see him take on?
