Taika Waititi, the Academy award-winning writer and director of Jojo Rabbit, is known for his quirky and humorous filmmaking. Ever since it was announced in May 2020 that he will be making a Star Wars movie, there has been a lot of intrigue and anticipation for the unique perspective that he would bring to the Star Wars universe. It seems like the wait might finally be over and we might get to see a Taika Waititi Star Wars movie after all!

In May 2022, Kathleen Kennedy stated that the movie had a temporary release date of late 2023. However, at the 2023 Star Wars Celebration, while Kennedy reassured fans that the movie will be made one day, no concrete updates were provided regarding the fate of the Taika Waititi-directed Star Wars movie.
