It's a novel set to RPG structure. Leveling up, stats, items, etc.

I definitely did not imply or make the suggestion that 1 million internet fanboys should direct a Star Wars movie as that would be stupid.

I see. How does that work in the context of a novel? Is it like some modified choose-your-own-adventure type book? Ah nevermind, I'll go look it up myself if I actually care enough to find out.

Guy kills boss. Levels up. Gets higher strength and intelligence stats (he puts them there). The boss drops a special armor. He gets a unique skill for killing the boss.

It's not different than many fantasy novels except stats are now added to that amazing sword or armor. And characters are given stats.

In fact, just picture J. R. R. Tolkien but with stats and leveling up.

Yeah, it's fantasy with in-universe RPG mechanics, often because the characters are literally in a game (I don't remember if DanMachi is an example of such). It's become pretty popular in Light Novels and anime, probably due to Sword Art Online becoming such a huge hit.

I don't want Rian anywhere near Star Wars.

Better yet, give it to Gendy toddoskaski[cant spell his name] he�s the guy that created Samurai Jack and later the mini cartoon episodes of the Clone Wars series.

He looks like he is about to molest someone.

To be honest, the Star Wars franchise has been shit since RotJ, I remember watching it with my first serious girlfriend Alison and the second to let me **** her. As soon as the Ewoks appeared I was only really interested in trying to finger her in the pictures with no one noticing. Shit film, good night.
