Werner Herzog shares his thoughts on joining 'Star Wars'

“Jon Favreau was deeply moved by my films,” Herzog tells Empire, in a major new career-spanning interview in the new December 2023 issue. “Once he made a remark that he wanted many, many people to know the face of the man who made all these films that he likes. We should not dismiss Star Wars: they are new mythologies and a new way of seeing our role in the universe.”

Oh, to imagine a SW film directed by Werner Herzog.
