For his statements, his audiovisual decisions and the great sense of humor, never brainless, that the director demonstrates in his films Taika Waititiwho will soon premiere the long-awaited Thor: Love and Thunder (2022), we can say that he is not a fool. Therefore, it does not surprise us at all that he assures that he is not willing to repeat what he considers the big mistake of Disney and his colleagues JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson in the third trilogy starwars.
This continues the galactic adventures created by George Lucas after the events of return of the jedi (1983), and it turned out much more controversial than the prequel which he himself wanted to take care of. And, perhaps, the furious reaction of the veteran followers of the saga regarding The Force Awakens (2015) Y the last jedi (2017) was not fair, but in the rise of skywalker (2019) we find important details that there is nowhere to take them.
Taika Waititi doesn’t want to piss off audiences with anything like that in his own take on the franchise, which is supposed to hit theaters in 2023. an interview recently with Stephen Colbert for the program The Late Showthe director has joked saying: “No, I’m not going to [arruinar Star Wars]. I am not going to do it. What if I said, “Yes, I’ll tell you the story of Jar Jar Binks”?”, referring to the character most hated by fans of the phantom menace (1999).
Taika Waititi wants to leave the Skywalkers behind in ‘Star Wars’
However, what he truly cares about is getting away from the Skywalkers once and for all. “I think that, for the universe of starwars expand, have to expand”, he stated during another interview in which the producer Kathleen Kennedy also took part to GamesRadar. “I don’t think it’s going to do any good (…) to make a movie where everyone’s like, ‘Oh great, well that’s the plans for the Millennium Falcon… Oh, that’s Chewbacca’s grandmother…'”
“That stands on its own, and it’s fantastic,” he continued; “Although I would like take something new and create some new characters and just expand this world.” Because, “otherwise, it would seem that it is a very small story.” So, according to Taika Waititi, the saga of the Jedi It must forget about a past that is already so hackneyed and offer moviegoers stories and protagonists that will finally make it move forward. Or, at the very least, it is about what he intends.

And, as far as we know, the president of Lucasfilm is going to put obstacles in his way: “We need to create a whole new saga. That requires a lot. There is a lot of conversation around that”, they have been his words. Moreover, if you look at what the film liked rogue one (2016) and what viewers watch out for starwars love The Mandalorian (since 2019), and the annoyances for the last trilogy or for the miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022), they should be convinced that the New Zealand filmmaker is right.
