In a recent interview with THR, Taika Waititi says he has a really good idea for his upcoming Star Wars film. In a fairly wide ranging interview there was understandably not a lot of talk about a Star Wars film, we don’t have a date or a title for yet. It’s therefore not unexpected that he only says a few words about the movie.
The latest on this movie was from Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. KK said that Taika was still writing the script, and as yet, he had no third act. She insisted he will be given time to get the script right before they give it the greenlight for filming. As for these recent comments by Waititi himself, see for yourself.
“I’ve got a really good idea for it,” he says. “It’s just as with all films, it’s this middle part. You’re like, ‘What’s going to happen?’ And then you look at all of those films that are so great, you’re like, ‘Well, I guess they can’t meet some smuggler with an alien sidekick.’”

I would not take Taika’s comment about a smuggler and his alien sidekick too seriously. I’m not saying we won’t see that in the movie either. It’s just, well, Waititi can be eccentric at the best of times, so you occasionally wonder whether he is joking or not. I’ve tend to find when I wonder this, he is.
Sadly we have really no details on what this movie might entail Taika is dreaming up. What era will it be set? Will it feature the Force prominently? Will there be any characters we know or is it completely brand new? No answers for now, and likely we won’t have until Waititi finishes the script. I’d wish he’d hurry up, but the man has been insanely busy over the last few years, so I’ll cut him some slack.
