He specifically says he does not want to act in it, as [his comedy] is a bad fit for Star Wars. He also says he wanted it to be r-rated in terms of "sneaking" in emotions.

And let's be honest, lightsabers could be much more violent without parodying anything. They should be, but they're censored down because of ratings and target demographic.
