    Taika Waititi (Jokes??) He’ll Ruin His Upcoming “Star Wars” Film

    One of the things confirmed during yesterday’s Disney Investor Day was the fact that Taika Waititi will indeed be helming a “Star Wars” film. Back in 2017, Kathleen Kennedy made a comment that she thought Waititi would be perfect to direct a story set in the galaxy far, far away.

    Turns out, she was making a job offer?


    “I would love for him [Waititi] to direct a Star Wars movie.  I think he has exactly the right sensibility. It was very exciting to see him step into the Marvel universe and do such an amazing job with Thor.”


    She even asked NewsHub to “let him know,” and laughed, “Yeah,” when asked if it was a genuine job offer. Clearly, it was.

    Oddly enough, this wasn’t the first time Waititi coming into the Star Wars fold has been addressed.  Back when Colin Trevorrow dropped out of directing Star Wars: IX in September, VOX Media supervisor Shaun McIlroy tweeted at Taika saying “sucks for Colin but maybe we can get a Taika Waititi Star Wars out of this?”

    I'd be fired within a week.

    And of course, one of our favorite “Star Wars” observations he’s made:

    Darth Vader was the Emperor's bitch. There, I said it. Don't @ me.

    We don’t know….really ANYTHING about Waititi’s film, except that in typical Waititi fashion, he’s cracking jokes about it.

    Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
