Director Jon Favreau knew there was a responsibility in being the director who would bring “Star Wars” back to movie theaters after seven years.

Favreau told Variety, “People care a lot about ‘Star Wars’. ‘Star Wars’ has been around for 49 years; it’s about to be the 50th anniversary, and it’s been around because people care, and people feel emotionally connected to it.”
