Damon Lindelof has taken a jab at the Star Wars franchise, while picketing outside of Disney offices.
"Ninety-nine days of steps under my belt and I don't know if there's any end in sight, but I'm feeling good, strong, convinced and unified," Lindelof told The Hollywood Reporter, speaking on the WGA strike. "Justin [Britt-Gibson] and I wrote a Star Wars movie together and picketing Disney is a lot more fun than writing a Star Wars movie."
Added Britt-Gibson: "This will not be in vain. This will be done so we have a better future for writers, for actors, for everybody out here on the line. … Strike the Empire back!"
Following the announcement, Lindelof revealed in an interview with Esquire that the decision to exit the film was not a mutual one: "I was in more than talks to join the Star Wars universe, I joined the Star Wars universe and was asked to leave." He added that he wished nothing but luck for Obaid-Chimoy and the crew.
