Will Bryce Dallas Howard Direct a ‘Star Wars’ Film?
While she has perhaps never been in the limelight, Bryce Dallas Howard has been one of the driving creative forces in the Star Wars universe over the last several years.
Building on her work directing The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, the veteran Star Wars director is now set to helm episodes of John Watt’s Skeleton Crew series.
In a recent interview with Collider, Howard was asked about the connective tissue between the New Republic Star Wars series.
“So there is a cohesiveness to the storytelling with Ahsoka , with Skeleton Crew , with Mandalorian , with Boba Fett . That is wonderful, and because of that, it’s not the wheel every single time. And so there are able to be these moments where, you know, I mean, Jon has been bringing Phil Tippett in since the absolute beginning. I mean, he helped design The Purge in my episode for Boba Fett . And so just getting to do that more and more and more has been really remarkable.”
Will Howard Direct a ‘Star Wars’ Film?
With Howard now well-versed in the Star Wars creative process, would the director consider helming a feature film?
“And I love…again, for the children in the audience, I’ll be mindful. I sometimes characterize myself in a professional sense as a dominant-submissive. What that means is that I’m very happy to go and play in someone else’s sandbox and be part of a team and to kind of be a vessel for someone else’s vision and try to kind of execute their vision with great enthusiasm as if it was my own. And then I also really love to work with a team and be kind of team captain,” she explained.
“I enjoy that. I have strength in that area. And I love filmmaking. I love directing. And so, I would absolutely love to direct a Star Wars film. I would absolutely love to have a Star Wars show.”
Opportunities Could Be on the Way
While Lucasfilm has not released a film since 2019’s Rise of Skywalker, the studio is looking to return to theaters in a big way. On the docket is The Mandalorian & Grogu, a Rey Skywalker film, James Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi movie, and Dave Filoni’s New Republic film.
With Star Wars looking primed to make a comeback to theaters, perhaps Howard will get a chance to helm a film in the future.
