So, it looks like Taika Waititi’s Star Wars project is still in the works, and the director has some big dreams for it. In a recent interview, he spilled the beans on his hopes for the film, and it involves recapturing the magic of the Original Trilogy.
Now, we haven’t heard much about Taika Waititi’s Star Wars project. He’s been pretty hush-hush about it, only mentioning his struggles to finish the second act of the script. But finally, we’re starting to get some juicy details, with Waititi expressing his desire to bring back the grandeur of the Original Trilogy:
“I’ve been developing [the Star Wars film] for a few years, but I think with any film, but that one in particular, it’s something I’d really like to get right, so I don’t want to rush it,” Waititi explained on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “It’s going to bubble along on the side…I wanna capture that joy and entertainment of those early ones like The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi and all those ones, so I’m trying to figure that out. It’ll happen.”
Basically, he’s not messing around. He wants to bring back that old-school Star Wars vibe, the one that made us all fall in love with the galaxy far, far away in the first place. And hey, we’re totally here for it.
But let’s be real, it seems like everyone in the Star Wars universe is trying to chase that nostalgia train. From shows like Andor set in the same time period to the newest trilogy bringing back Palpatine from the dead, everyone’s looking to recapture the magic. It’s an ambitious goal, and only time will tell if Taika Waititi nails it.
