Rian Johnson Gets Hilariously Sassy with STAR WARS Fans on Twitter

Today was bound to be a big day for Last Jedi director Rian Johnson no matter what. The movie’s first full trailer dropped last night and certain theaters released tickets for the movie’s premiere (and the week following that), promptly selling out countless shows. Now, much to the Internet’s delight, he’s doing a victory lap in the form of jokingly sassy Twitter replies to publications and fans alike.

It’s Luke.

Johnson’s reply was nothing if not direct, and as it turned out, the fun was just beginning. 12 hours later, a fan posed a playful question on everyone’s minds, and Johnson delivered, echoing his earlier delivery.

It’s crystalline.

And those are just the ones that went viral. Hidden within the replies to the Vanity Fair tweet was a pretty decent barb from a fan calling The Last Jedi out as Johnson’s first Joseph Gordon-Levitt-free film. Naturally, Johnson had something to say about that.

Nope! Snuck him in.
