The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson says he "had a great time" watching JJ Abrams' sequel The Rise of Skywalker: "I didn’t feel resentful in some way"

Rey in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson has spoken out positively about J.J. Abrams' 2019 follow-up to his Star Wars movie, saying he never felt "resentful" of the sequel despite its story undoing some of the plot points of his own movie.

"When I saw the movie, I had a great time watching it. Again, this is all about point of view. I never approach this as, like, a territory I’m carving out for my thing," Johnson told Rolling Stone in a new interview.
