Well the only reason to go back, for me and I think for anyone involved would be if we could do something truly spectacular. We've been talking about it for a couple years and there's always been this idea, a big idea, in the back of my head that we've been talking about.

That's the tricky thing these days: being able to surprise people.

There are a lot of limitations so you have to ultimately focus on what you think the most important storyline is.

I've said it would have to be our Empire Strikes Back for me to come back and for me to pull the whole team back together. I think we do have that idea. We do have the idea that feels big and really blows the doors off this franchise. It's hinted at promises of something for two movies now, for thirty years, so it's time to deliver on that.

I was always looking for a career that could combine my creative interests with my technical side, and it ends up directing films is the perfect combination.

I grew up in a place where no one knew anyone in the entertainment business, I never knew it was an actual career.

Hopefully, great science fiction films help you think about issues that relate to yourself, whether it's: What's my purpose? Why am I here? What is it that makes me who I am? Those are the kind of questions my favorite science fiction films ask.
