Description:
Some very promising noises are already being made by the director of the incoming Star Wars flick.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The upcoming Star Wars movie that's going to be directed and co-written by Taika Waititi now has the bones of a story that hes "really excited" about.

The director (and writer/actor) was enthusiastic about the project in an interview with Wired , joking that: Its still in the EXT. SPACE stage,
meaning the script is currently in the process of being written, but isnt finished. Waititi is writing the script with 1917 screenwriter Krysty Wilson-Cairns.

However, the core plot has already been nailed by the sound of things, as Waititi further explains: But weve got a story. Im really excited by it because it feels very me.

To say were intrigued about how this one might pan out is an understatement. Waititi has a diverse catalogue of previous work and isnt afraid to take existing properties into quirky and offbeat territory: hes just finished filming Thor: Love and Thunder , and has previously directed the hugely entertaining Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and the What We Do in the Shadows movie (which later became a TV series, of course).

Wired quizzed him on whether his irreverent tone would fit well with the Star Wars universes sincerity, to which Waititi replied: I tend to go down that little sincerity alleyway in my films. I like to fool the viewer into
thinking ha its this and then them going, Damn it, you made me feel
something!

Waititi already has a Star Wars connection, as you may be aware he was brought in to direct the final episode of the first season of The Mandalorian , and provided the voice of infamous bounty hunter droid IG-11 too. Analysis: Waititi is exactly what the Star Wars movies need

That season 1 closer of The Mandalorian was an epic affair that set the scene for the massive episodes to come in season 2, so its easy to get fired up about the potential for this incoming Star Wars flick on that basis alone. Particularly when Waititi is already declaring that the working story present right now is exciting and feels very me suggesting he could do for a galaxy far, far away what he did with the previously flagging Thor series.

That said, theres an inevitable sense of nervousness around any new Star Wars film simply because the franchise has got so far off track at times in the modern era or, at least, it's frequently proved divisive with fans, and struggled to break free of repeating the hits of past movies.

Waititi's positivity around the project, though, makes us optimistic hopefully he'll be able to breathe some life into Star Wars on the movie side after the contentious reaction towards The Rise of Skywalker. Check out the best Disney Plus shows
