Taika Waititi and Disney have kept details about his “Star Wars” movie close to the vest. However, his aforementioned comments about it being a true Waititi film suggest that it’ll be a wacky comedy with a blockbuster sheen, similar to his “Thor” movies. Waititi’s films about Marvel’s Norse god have their fans and detractors, but they certainly boast his unique vision. Therefore, viewers can expect his “Star Wars” project to be memorable, for better or worse.
That said, whether the filmmaker has made further progress with the script is still unknown. Earlier this year, Waititi told The Hollywood Reporter that he’s still working on it but aims to make sure the story lives up to the franchise’s high expectations. “It’s just as with all films, it’s this middle part,” he said. “You’re like, ‘What’s going to happen?’ And then you look at all of those films that are so great, you’re like, ‘Well, I guess they can’t meet some smuggler with an alien sidekick.'”
In the meantime, fans have no shortage of “Star Wars” projects to look forward to. As of this writing, a Rey Skywalker solo film is in the works, while “The Skeleton Crew” and “Andor” Season 2 will premiere next year.
