    Every Star Wars film pisses people off. He's not exactly Nostradamus, here.

    That would be, genuinely, absolutely hilarious.

    That’s such a great idea that I’ve already watched it 100 times and it doesn’t even exist.

    Yeah, I think that’s probably the joke he’s making. :p

    Taika Waititi in recent interview mentioned wanted to capture the Spirit of Star Wars like ESB and ROTJ. Talks about he wants to take his time to get it done right. I likes his new interview better, he was more honest and not so jokingly.

    I wonder how far away this Project is ? 2026 Mando and Grogu, Rey's New Jedi Order movie. 2027 Dawn of the Jedi movie. 2028 New Republic vs Imperial remnants movie. So will it come in between 2027 and 2028 or later?

    Memorial Day 2027 is still open, and assuming Filoni’s movie takes Xmas 2028, then Memorial Day 2028 is open too (or vice versa). I could also see them starting to use other holidays like 4th of July or Thanksgiving. Heck, we might even get to a point where there are THREE sw movies coming out in one calendar year. I think when Iger said they were gonna “slow down,” he really meant “slow down for now.”

    Avatar 4 and 5 aren’t coming until 2029 and 2031, and after A5, that franchise might come to an end, so the 2030s are wide open too.

    This guy has no business in SW. Just my 2 cents. Nope.

    I’m growing quite tired of having to edit your posts because you don’t know or care to learn the rules around here. These forums are for civil discussion of topics. Insulting one of the filmmakers because you don’t like their films is not civil. This is your last warning. If I have to edit one of your posts again it will cost you your posting privileges.

    Last night I tried watching Taika’s recent movie Next Goal Wins. I like a good little sports comedy but this one wasn’t for me, couldn’t finish it.

    That said I’m still eager to see him tackle Star Wars, even if he shoots and misses he’s still developed a particular style over the years that could be interesting when applied to Star Wars. He knows how to handle a big budget vfx-heavy production too, I’m still optimistic on this one.

    Although we haven’t heard anything in awhile [face_waiting]

    You picked the wrong time to get optimistic about this one.

    Never get optimistic about anything. That way you decrease your odds of disappointment, and increase your odds of pleasant surprise. :)

    As a Red Sox fan in the 80s and 90s, I learned this lesson well.

    My bad Darth I didn't know that such a psychology term was off limits here. We can criticize actors and their acting but cannot label them via that term? Hey I'm learning! Happy weekend y'all. We made it.

    To save everybody the click and the braincells, the "source" on this is CosmicBookNews. To call them garbage would be an insult to garbage. Is this probably true regardless? Yes, I think many of us have assumed that a movie which has had no movement since being announced four years ago will probably not happen. Putting "SCOOP" next to a headline entitled "The sun will rise in the west tomorrow morning" does not make CosmicBookNews, or certain other people, Nostradamus.

    As an aside, I really hate internet fan culture. Waititi made a few well received indie movies, the critically acclaimed, financially successful, and fan favourite Thor: Ragnarok, and won a "Best Adapted Screenplay" Oscar for Jojo Rabbit... but makes one mediocre Thor sequel in the midst of Marvel Studios having a terrible time creatively, and suddenly becomes persona non grata as far as perpetually online folks are concerned.

    I wasn’t trying to spam clickbait information but I also don’t know how to send weblink through my iPhone except on computers.

    But on the contrary, I didn’t confirm this as an 100% officially going to happen of the movie being cancelled or not.

    I think Star Wars might be in a tough spot right now.

    Are you trying to tell me that Taika Waititi isn’t the devil incarnate? Sure, Pym. I imagine you think the Pope’s not Catholic either.
