Rian Johnson was one of the millions watchingGame of Throneslast night and he had the perfect response to an epic scene. Johnson has been torn apart by a certain faction ofStar Warsfans who were not happy with what he did in creating the storyline forThe Last Jedi. The director can’t even post something on social media without people complaining about the 2017 movie and the decisions he chose to make with certain characters. With that being said, he just delivered a pretty great troll to those fans. There are MAJORSPOILERSfor last night’sGame of Thronesepisode below, so read ahead at your own risk.
Last night’sGame of Throneswas truly dark, both literally and figuratively. However, fans were hyped to see Arya Stark be the one to take down the Night King after he came to kill Bran. For some, it echoed the death of Supreme Leader Snoke inThe Last Jedi, who was a character that fans wanted to see more of in future installments. Knowing this, Rian Johnson delivered the perfect tweet. He had this to say.
“Goddammit I had this whole amazing night king theory.”
As of now, it looks like Rian Johnson’s subtle dig atThe Last Jedihaters has flown over their heads since many of the tweets are attacking his movie. Some are even comparing the death of the Night King to that of Snoke, which must haveRian Johnsonlaughing pretty hard at the moment. Some supporters have picked up what the director is putting down, but for the most part,The Last Jedicritics are not finding the humor. There are moreGame of Thronesfans who are just bummed because he spoiled the end of the show.
Rian Johnsonisn’t done with the Star Wars franchise. By the end of the year, the director will begin work on his own trilogy. It’s unclear what it will be about at this time, but one can imagine Johnson is going to take some chances and probably anger a lot of the fan base in the process. In another connection toGame of Thrones, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are also developing their ownStar Warstrilogy, which is rumored to be based on the Knights of the Old Republic. All three creative forces will be working together on these future Star Wars movies.
Game of Thronesis nearly finished with Season 8. There’s only three more episodes left to go and then the mega successful series is done for good. J.J. Abrams is going to finish the Skywalker saga this December with the release ofThe Rise of Skywalker, so whatever Rian Johnson’s trilogy will be based on, it won’t be with those characters from the original trilogy or the latest one either. Both franchises have changed the landscape of cinema and TV forever, showing other ways of storytelling.
