Star Wars
Taika Waititi speaks up about his ‘Star Wars’ movie with a confusing and mysterious statement
Is the ‘Star Wars’ movie by Taika Waitit still happening or not? The director has responded and… we’re still not sure.
One of the most peculiar and controversial filmmakers today is Taika Waititi, recognized for ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ and ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, but also for other films such as ‘Next Goal Wins’ and ‘What We Do in the Shadows’, which also stands out thanks to a television series. One of the filmmaker’s most talked about projects is the ‘Star Wars’ film that Lucasfilm announced in 2020 that he was going to develop. More than four years have passed since the announcement and there has been no more news about it, but in a recent interview with The Playlist, the filmmaker spoke about it, leaving several possibilities on the table.
“What was ever alive? What is death? You know, death is just a new opportunity. More life to grow and flourish,” Waititi joked. “Everything’s always in development. My advice for any filmmaker is, ‘Just say yes to everything.’ Because, you know, things come and go. And you never know what stage things are. And I’ve been attached to things that have disappeared for three years and then bubbled back up. I’m like, ‘Oh, I thought that thing was dead. Now I’ve got to go do that again.”
The long-awaited return of ‘Star Wars’ to the big screen
‘Star Wars’ has not released a movie in theaters for a long time since ‘Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker’ came out in 2019. Multiple television projects have occupied the news of one of the most popular franchises on the planet, but everything indicates that in the coming years it will once again have a prominent presence in theaters with several films in development. Will Taika Waititi come to the big screen with George Lucas’ legendary saga at some point?
