Who actually wants the horrible movie by the talentless weirdo New
Zealand "filmmaker" Taika Whatanidioti?



Taika Waititi's Star Wars Movie Gets Disappointing Update
From Kathleen Kennedy
---------------------------------------------------------
Lucasfilm's President Kathleen Kennedy recently shared an update
on the Star Wars movie which will be helmed by Taika Waititi.
She recently confirmed that she is not taking retirement anytime
soon and revealed she is producing the upcoming Star Wars
projects. Previously, it was speculated that the producer might
exit Lucasfilm by the end of 2025.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi producer recently appeared for an interview,
in which she discussed future Star Wars projects that are being
developed at Lucasfilm.

As Kathleen Kennedy shared the current status update on each
project with Deadline, she disclosed that she had yet to receive
a script from director Taika Waititi concerning his Star Wars
movie. She told the outlet, "I keep waiting for Taika [Waititi],
and he is working with another writer now. He's so busy."

The Lucasfilm head expressed her admiration for Waititi's
previous work and added, "I love him. I think if we ever do get
a script from Taika, it's going to be fantastic. I already saw
a first act that I loved, but tying him down, it's tricky."

Moreover, Kennedy opened up about going for an approach similar
to Thor: Ragnarok, for Waititi's Star Wars film. She added,
"That's exactly the tone we're always looking for with
filmmakers who can pull that off. It's not like they're a dime
a dozen. You're really trying to find the diamond in the rough
and he's one of them."

In a 2023 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Taika Waititi
shared an update on his Star Wars project, stating he doesn't
want to rush the movie. He told the outlet, "My thing is I want
to take my time with that and get it right. I don't want to
rush this movie."

I thought "Thor: Ragnarok" was one of the best Marvel's, and Waititi
himself was quite funny in "Free Guy".

He needs a flywheel though. When he had complete control in
Thor Love & Thunder, it was awful.

Do I want to see an SW movie from him? No. They need to get a straight-ahead
action-adventure flick with the classic SW feel before they go for "quirky".
