Movies he has directed:

Eagles vs Shark
What We Do In The Shadows
Hunt For The Wilderpeople
Thor: Ragnarok
Jojo Rabbit

Seen the last two. They were ok.

Star Wars he has directed:

The Mandalorian season 1 chapter 8: Redemption

This was one of the better episodes yet.

You need to see hunt for wilder people and what we do in the shadows.
Both great.

JoJo Is probably my favourite he’s done. and Thor Is pretty great.

I will see those two.

Not a huge fan of JoJo and Thor Ragnarok. But both were decent.

Jojo, Shadows, and Thor are all excellent films. I haven't seen Wilder People yet but I can't imagine it's anything less than outstanding.

His Star War will be fantastic, I'm sure. The guy just makes great stuff.

His project has potential for sure, but hope he goes the Mandalorian route, and not the Ragnarok one, with constant attempts at over the top humor. Feel that is balanced much better in the Mandalorian.

I expect his movie will have a kid as central character. He knows how to find and cast great kids. And I dunno how but gets great performances from them.

That being said. The title card for it looks like a monty python film. So who knows.
Maybe he’ll go full absurd humour with it.

He could make a feature length episode of sunny day in the void and I’d be all for it.
One of the more surreal episodes in Star Wars. I think he’d be a fan of that.

There’s a few hilarious sci-fi movies (Spaceballs, Fifth Element, Guardians Of The Galaxy), that I really enjoy, but I’m glad they’re not Star Wars. Think any good Star Wars has a certain signature feel to it, and the more you step away from that, the less Star Wars it becomes. I expect both of you to disagree with me, and that’s ok.

Not saying he can’t pull it off. He is clearly involved with Mando, which I think is magnificent.

Not at all. I agree with you. Star Wars is usually pretty good at walking the line and just barely being funny. The humour with han in TFA was funny And landed. It could as easily not have. But Star Wars has to have goofy humour too for the kids. Usually delivered nonverbally from a droid or alien character. That works too

The humor in TLJ was awful though. "Hi, I'm on hold for General Hux?". UGH

That wasn’t meant to be humour though I don’t think. Speaks to poes arrogance that we see later.

It was meant to be humorous AND a character moment. The humor just fell flat.
