Star Wars: Starfighter Director Gives His Honest Take on AI in Hollywood

by

If you’re not excited about artificial intelligence, and you’d rather it stay out of the movies you love, you’ll have mixed feelings about some recent news. Director Shawn Levy, who’s working on a major upcoming Lucasfilm project, just shared an update that might interest you.

When asked if AI was used during the making of Star Wars: Starfighter, Levy confirmed that neither he nor any of the film’s producers did.

He stated that he hasn’t used AI at any point in creating his stories.

While some might dislike the rise of AI, that’s where the positive news stops for those hoping it disappears from Hollywood. Christopher Levy explained that although he hasn’t used AI extensively yet, he expects that to change, and it’s very likely AI will become more prominent in his work.

Star Wars Director Says AI Will Enter Hollywood

Levy believes AI will definitely become a standard part of creative work, so much so that some experts might even downplay its impact. He emphasizes the importance of using these tools carefully, protecting the unique perspective of artists, and ensuring AI complements, rather than replaces, human creativity. He feels that the value of a creative’s individual voice and vision is truly unique and cannot be replicated.

I really believe we shouldn’t be afraid of AI, but excited! If we can use these new AI tools to help storytellers, keeping the creative process human and focused on people, then it’s something we should definitely welcome. It’s about supporting creativity, not replacing it.

It’s a bit ironic that a science fiction director would be asked about trusting artificial intelligence – especially considering James Cameron’s Terminator films. However, unlike Cameron, Shawn Levy seems open to the idea of AI taking over, at least eventually.
