In the course of the Star Wars Celebration 2025, numerous upcoming films and projects were announced or given new information. But what about the Star Wars film by the director of Thor 3 and 4, Taika Waitii? From the big stage there was a surprisingly positive but also vages update of the Lucasfilm boss to theannounced project.

The "Taika period"

In conversation with Screenrant, Kathleen Kennedy commented on the current status of the film. It is slowly progressing, but Kennedy does not seem to worry because it grants the New Zealand filmmaker the time he needs:

Taika is on Taika. I kept telling him: "Listen when you feel that you are ready and you can really take your time, then we will do it. We'll wait. ”I just hope we can do it. This will be a great Star Wars film.

So Lucasfilm has no hurry to Waititis film and the lack of updates is not due to problems with the script or the potential setting of the project.So you wait for Waititi to really get started.

However, Kennedy also reveals that the author Tony McNamara (The Favorite, Poor Things) also writes on the script and works well with Waiti.

Are there any details about the film?

In terms of content, nothing is known about the project. Waititi, the director and author stands for a very special kind of humor, which already sounds through in his Marvel projects, in films such as Jojo Rabbit (Oscar for the best script) or what we do in the shadows, however, this comes into play.

For the Star Wars film, the somewhat more grounded humor from Thor 3 and 4 is probably in demand. By the way, if you want to take a look at how you deal with the wide, far away galaxy as a director, you can do it again8th episode of the 1st season The Mandalorianview.
