Star Wars: Starfighter director Shawn Levy has opened up about the Star Wars movie that most inspires his upcoming film, which takes place in a new, unexplored era of the franchise, and it's a bit of an underdog pick: Return of the Jedi.
While fans around my age (who were kids in the '80s and '90s) largely consider Return of the Jedi a beloved entry in the Star Wars canon, for those who were older teens and adults when it was released, it was the most immediately divisive of the original trilogy thanks in large part to the teddy bear-like Ewoks. Thankfully for me and other fans of a certain era, Levy comes down on our side of the debate.
