Re: Star Wars

But I'd rather have a process where good directors make movies that they think are good and that they want to make

I would argue that this isn't a situation that happens when a director uses an established property as vehicle to actualize their vision for what should really have been an original film. Whether it's comic books or Star Wars, good movies can only happen when the director is passionate about the actual material they're working with and not trying to mould it into something else because their original script couldn't get greenlit. Those vision-driven directors should really pass on these franchise projects and keep gunning for a shot at an original thing -- sure, properly with a much lower budget, but that constraint is frankly usually a good thing.

This view is reinforced by the fact that I just saw Baby Driver, a fucking fantastic original movie with all the right Edgar Wright touches. Maybe his Ant-Man movie could have worked with this style, but the character would have stuck out like a sore thumb the moment he entered another MCU film.
