New Star Wars Movies: Ben Affleck "Glad" He's Not Directing

[almost99]

 

Self-avowed Star Wars nut Ben Affleck also weighed in on the new flicks, heaving a sigh of relief that he can watch from the sidelines as a fan.

'I'm glad I don't have that job," the on-the-rise director told MTV, joking, "I'd be too busy worrying about how the action figures would look for each character to direct the actual movie. I'd be like, 'Oh, we'll just reshoot the movie with the action figures."

Kidding aside, the Argo director couldn't be more amped up, saying that although "there might be purists who are opposed to it, I think it's a very cool thing, and I'm excited to go see the movie."

He's also sending out an early warning to the film's eventual director.

"When it gets made, I'm going to be...calling in favors," he promises. "'Hey, it's Ben. Can me and my kid come to the premiere? Swing by, by any chance?'"

Sounds like someone's ready to jump to lightspeed with that speed dial.
