For anyone looking to see a movie on this June weekend, here's a tip: Don't see The Book of Henry! The movie has been called "the equivalent of eating a cake baked with salt instead of sugar" by The Atlantic, "grotesquely phony and manipulative" by the Los Angeles Times, a "feature-length put-on that flirts queasily with fascism" by the AV Club, and like getting "mugged by a Decembrists song," by Esquire's own Dave Holmes.

It's criticism that director Colin Trevorrow said was "a little heartbreaking."

"It came to us as a bit of a shock," Trevorrow told Empire. "We did not anticipate that level of vitriolic dislike for the film. In the end, do I want to be somebody who pleases both audiences and critics? Absolutely. Is that hugely disappointing? It is."

But this could also be disappointing for anyone emotionally invested in the final three Star Wars movies. That's because Trevorrow, the man who made the disaster that is The Book of Henry, is also directing Star Wars: Episode IX.

That's a fact he (probably incorrectly) uses as an excuse for some of the overwhelming negative criticism.

"What I may have underestimated is how my visibility as somebody who is responsible for two things that we all care about deeply, and are massive parts of our public consciousness and shared mythology–how that level of visibility would shine a spotlight that I hadn't considered."

But given The Book of Henry is just an objectively bad movie, should Star Wars fans be worried about his addition to the beloved franchise? Many fans on Reddit have already voiced concerns about putting the final Star Wars film in the hands of a man who committed such a cinematic atrocity.

As one Redditor said: "I can't wait for Rey to drop dead in the first ten minutes of Episode 9 so that Kylo Ren can use her ashes to make a lovesaber and use it to take revenge on Palpatines clone."

While it's difficult to speculate at this point, here's what we do know about Trevorrow. He's a capable director (besides The Book of Henry), who had his break with the charming and bizarre 2012 indie comedy Safety Not Guaranteed. After that, he jumped to the big leagues by directing the entirely average and occasionally fun Jurassic World. So we know, with Safety Not Guaranteed, he's capable of producing a quality movie and, with Jurassic World, he can handle major studios and big-budget movies.

But a different Redditor makes another good point: "Good thing the higher ups at Disney don't give their directors any creative control. Otherwise Episode 9 would be double fucked."

As we've seen this week, Lucasfilm maintains a death grip on the details of the Star Wars franchise. The directors of the Young Han Solo film were fired for "creative differences" after pretty fundamentally clashing with the vision of producer Kathleen Kennedy. Before that, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story director Gareth Edwards was sidelined for reshoots and retooling of the film in post-production.

The disaster that is The Book of Henry is not likely enough for Trevorrow to lose his job as Star Wars: Episode IX director. Unlike the Rogue One and Young Han directors, Trevorrow has worked with some of the biggest producers on the planet and knows how to follow instructions. Plus, one bad movie isn't going to put his job in jeopardy.
