Steven Spielberg will never direct a Star Wars film
By David Gelmini3,397 Reads2016-06-22 02:54:431 Comments

If you were holding your breath and desperately hoping that Steven Spielberg would direct a Star Wars movie, we're afraid we've got some news that will burst your ballon: he confirmed at a press event for The BFG that he will never tackle the franchise.

He was quoted as saying: "It's just not my genre...that was never for me. I'm just a fan, I'm just with everybody else in the audience watching them."

He went on to refer to George Lucas as the Thomas Edison of science-fiction for creating the multi-billion dollar space opera franchise.

How do you feel about this? Were you eagerly awaiting the day that Spielberg would put his unique stamp on a Star Wars movie? Let us know in the comments below.
