Taika Waititi approached to develop Star Wars film
- Thread starter BiggestGeekEver
- Start date
im just gunna add taika's name to the list of people that have ruined everyones childhoods in advance.
This is the only correct reply.
Also want to see him do some kind of kids movie. Maybe a Lego one.
I feel like he's having a lot of fun - which is infectious. Guy genuinely loves his craft, has decent skill with comedy, good repore with studios, and stars want to work with him.
Part of what's remarkable about Taika is his ability to navigate the studio system while still maintaining his voice. Not a ton of filmmakers who can pull that off, and he works at such a speed -- he's fitting in another damn movie before Thor -- that I'm not convinced him making a Star Wars would preclude him working on other cool shit.
Star Wars Cinematic Universe set during the high republic is a nutso idea. If they can pull it off that's great, but they didn't exactly do a good job in the existing era. I just don't see the Star Wars universe as having enough texture to support this.
Do it and make it a cross over where Thor gets transported. It will be more exciting than Palpatine returns again.
If you think this is a bad idea, i don't care.
Taika da gawd turned in one of the strongest Mandalorian chapters.

Would love to see a mockumentary of a day in the life of a stormtropper or jedi in the same mold as what we do in the shadows.
MCU didn't invent humor. The OT had Odd Couple slobs vs snobs type humor, cute robot & puppet type humor, sarcastic self aware type humor etc. SW has always had modern( for the time) comedy injected into its films. The ST had quips/humor but nobody was cracking jokes when Han died, during the Snoke throne scene or after Luke died. The Mandolarian was a huge success and it has "MCU" type comic relief characters so I doubt disney is going to shy away from it.
Marvel is much better than the crap Lucasflm has been shitting out of late.
And if Taika is adapting Jason Aaron's story in any way it should be good. Easily better than TROS at any rate.
And he doesn't have to walk on eggshells and worry about pissing off the Fandom Menace and Reylo fanfiction authors with his script.
Honestly, he's our greatest export since Sam Neill and Sheep
I just saw JoJo and it was great.
Also that last episode of Mandalorian and its 5 minute extended intro thing was Taika 100% lol

Someone said that he should direct a SW movie. I think this was just after lord and miller were fired.
He's making a joke about Lord and Miller getting kicked off Solo.
That's about what it would take to get me to give a shit about another Star Wars film, yeah.
Well, until they fire him halfway through production due to "creative differences" for daring to have a vision and they bring in Ron Howard to make the most digestible checklist slop possible.

I hope not. I'd rather he do a standalone instead of doing the first of three because he has such a unique voice (which I hope is why they're bringing him on)
I haven't seen Jojo Rabbit yet, but I think Tbor was his worst movie since it is a good comedy, but it has to have all this we have to save the world etc marvel stuff in it.
We've already known for a little bit that the next SW movie is slated for 2022.
I'll never understand this selfish reasoning
Like he's already doing 2 Marvel movies. He's directed episodes of Mandalorian.
There isn't a single director in the world that is "above" doing Hollywood movies.
I don't see how movies like Ant-Man 2 and Captain Marvel are below Solo, Rogue One and TLJ.
Jojo Rabbit is one of my favorites of 2019 and Thor: Ragnorok is the only MCU movie worth a damn. Also loved his work in The Mandalorian. If this goes through (remember, early talks), then I'm in.
