    Well, they did sort of do something like that with Zen - Grogu and Dust Bunnies so there is a precedent.

    I love Taika's films and series, especially Hunt for the Wilderpeople which I think is one of the greatest movies ever made.

    That said, I don't think he's right for Star Wars.

    Bold Prediction! Shawn Levy's Star Wars movie will be released before Taika or Jenkins Star Wars movies.

    Jeff Sneider believes Taika “is not exactly beloved at Lucasfilm”. He says it’s a very similar to the Patty Jenkins situation with LFL.

    Star Wars’ Shakeup: Kevin Feige and Patty Jenkins Movies Shelved, Taika Waititi Looking to Star in His Own Film (EXCLUSIVE) --- --- Variety

    This one is a real beauty, but here's the best part :cool:

    When Disney/Kathy announced their intention to produce a Sequel Trilogy, I think we all reasonably wondered what that really meant. Ten years later, I think the overall picture could finally becoming clear:

    It's not just three movies. It's not just a "trilogy" either. We're talking about three totally different, completely unique visions for Star Wars. We're talking three different men, each with totally different visions for what Star Wars can be, and total control for their visions. We had JJ and Rian, and now - finally - it's Taika time. The circle shall be complete . . . at last.

    I'm still hoping for IG-11 movie to be fair. Takia having a role in it increases those odds!

    Safe prediction: this movie will have lots of ironic humor

    Edgy prediction: it will be the first Star Wars movie with a 70’s/80’s song in the theatrical trailer

    Watch this end up being your favourite one, and I and @Darth Chiznuk despise it.

    I'll take it.

    I'm fully aware that Taika has the talent to surprise me. But if he goes full Thor, I'll fall to the dark side in my anger.

    For me it’s about what kind of story he’s telling. I really would love a The Suicide Squad-esque film about a total misfit group of mercenaries hunting down some Imperial or something from him. Bring Jaxxon into live action and just go crazy with it. I don’t think he needs to do anything Jedi related.
