A closer look at “Taika Waititi Confirms His Star Wars Movie Is 'On Ice' — What It Means for Lucasfilm's Sla”, exactly as the source publishes it. Taika Waititi, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Jojo Rabbit and Thor: Ragnarok, has confirmed that his long-gestating Star Wars feature is officially 'on ice.'

The confirmation comes as Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has signaled a renewed focus on theatrical releases, with upcoming films from Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, James Mangold, and Dave Filoni. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
