“Taika Waititi Confirms His Star Wars Movie Is 'on Ice' Indefinitely” — what this page in the network covers. Taika Waititi's long-gestating Star Wars film is officially on hold, the director revealed in an interview with Inverse. Waititi, who has been attached to the project since 2020, said he and Lucasfilm are now focusing on a different collaboration. The Oscar-winning filmmaker is currently promoting his new movie Klara and the Sun, based on Kazuo Ishiguro's novel.
This news adds to a string of Star Wars feature film delays and cancellations, including projects from Patty Jenkins and Kevin Feige. With Waititi's departure from active development, Lucasfilm's theatrical slate remains uncertain, though upcoming projects include The Mandalorian & Grogu and a film focused on Rey. Fans may need to wait even longer for a new Star Wars saga on the big screen. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
