Taika Waititi Spills Jaw-Dropping Secrets About His Unreleased Star Wars Masterpiece
Taika Waititi breaks his silence on the highly anticipated Star Wars movie he's attached to, unveiling exciting details about its progress and leaving fans eager for more
Summary
Taika Waititi jokes about Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie, hoping he finishes a script unlike himself.
Waititi's planned Star Wars film is currently on hold due to the ongoing writers' strike, raising uncertainty about its fate. Nevertheless, there are other Star Wars movies in development that have been officially announced, offering promising prospects for the franchise's future.
Taika Waititi has given an update on the progress of his Star Wars film. Unfortunately, the update is not a positive one. Waititi is no stranger to the Star Wars universe, having worked as both a director and actor in The Mandalorian. He voiced the character IG-11 and directed the finale of the show's first season. Most recently, Waititi returned to his role as IG-12 in The Mandalorian season 3 and has been in discussions to write and direct his own Star Wars movie.
During the TIFF Tribute Awards, where he was honoring Shawn Levy, Waititi made jokes about their respective Star Wars films. In a clip shared by Variety, Waititi mentions Levy's project and humorously remarks, "Hopefully he can finish a script for that, unlike me."
Will Taika Waititi's Star Wars Movie Happen?
This marks the initial update from Waititi in quite a while, subsequent to revealing his upcoming Star Wars project. Despite the triumph of not just his installment in The Mandalorian, but also his previous works like Thor: Ragnorak, this announcement falls short of expectations.
Several Star Wars movie ideas have been abandoned over the years, and unfortunately, it appears that Waititi's project may suffer the same fate. Currently, all development has been halted due to the ongoing writers' strike. Levy has referred to his Star Wars film as being put on hold, and it remains uncertain if Waititi's venture will progress further. Waititi is a proactive and enthusiastic creator, but if the Star Wars concepts fail to resonate with him, this movie may never come to fruition.
Unfortunately, your browser does not support the video tag. However, there are numerous Star Wars movies that have been confirmed for release in the near future. Dave Filoni will helm a film set in The Mandalorian era, which is said to feature a team-up of beloved characters like Din Djarin, Ahsoka Tano, and Bo-Katan Kryze in a style reminiscent of the Avengers. James Mangold will take charge of a movie that takes place 25,000 years before the Skywalker saga, while Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will bring Rey's new Jedi Order to the silver screen. These upcoming movies promise to captivate audiences, but it is hoped that Waititi's film will still be written and included in this impressive lineup.
