Taika Waititi to Make a Star Wars Film
Star Wars will always be the massive franchise we know it as, and despite the main line of films being done, we will just keep getting more. There is hardly a universe out there that is as massive and story intensive as the Star Wars universe. Every time we turn around, there is some new lore information or story that is put out into the world. Side story movies are all a part of the universe and generally receive a warm welcome by fans because it is more story to add to an already massive universe. Now, we will yet again be getting another story, and this time it will be done by Taika Waititi.
Waititi will be coming in as the director for the film and will be co-writing for the film with Krysty Wilson-Cairns who wrote ‘1917.’ Waititi is now known by many for his quirky writing style and his directing skill behind the camera. This director from New Zealand made a small name for himself in directing ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ and ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople.’ He made a big name for himself after directing ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ which completely revived the Thor series. Now that he is coming to the Star Wars franchise, we will most likely be getting another entertaining film from this director.
There have been plenty of people who have complained about the direction and the story of the newer Star Wars films. Hopefully, we will end up with a film by Waititi that most people will enjoy. This way there is a reason for Lucasfilm to continue making movies based in that universe. The past couple of films have been considered failures even though they made a profit because of how strong of a reaction there usually is to new Star Wars films. Now, most of the effort for the universe goes into shows that premiere on Disney+, so hopefully new information on this film will be available soon.
