Oh my God, Taika Waititi is making a Star Wars film
Now that is probably the best news Star Wars has had in the past 30 years.

I love this. I've liked everything of his I've seen and I'd love to see a funnier, more irreverent Star Wars film. Great choice.

I'm hoping Disney/Lucasfilm change the schedule tbh... they got an Obi Wan series in the works with McGregor set to return as Kenobi... I hope they redo it and make it a movie, and this is the movie...
Imagining an older McGregor as a curmudgeonly middle aged Kenobi with Waititi's humour.

Yeah, you can do a lot here.
I think letting people with odd voices just take full control over one standalone film is a good idea in general, too.

The weird thing with Waititi is in real life, he's really bland
His commentary on Wilderpeople, it's almost as if he's got no personality. As if acting, writing and directing, he puts absolutely everything into it... then off set, he goes back into his shell.

Either way, he definitely has a "it's funny that I could make a joke here but just stated something very obvious and direct instead" vibe.

At this point, I’ve given up on Star Wars. I’ve definitely liked or loved pretty much all Waititi so one can always hope. But honestly I can’t say I’m that excited...

I can't say that I'm a Taika Waititi fan. Of all his movies, which could you say that's his most representative? I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of Jojo Rabbit, although it may have gotten better later.
Perhaps his cult hit What We Do in the Shadows or maybe Hunt for the Wilderpeople that seemed to really set off his career and probably gave him the job of directing Thor: Ragnarok.

I love them all, but I guess I didn't love Jojo Rabbit quite as much as I expected to. Still very good, though, even if I love the other films MM just listed even more. But yeah, I'd give those a try, little more fun, little less overtly weird in some ways (but still quirky as cuss).

Wilderpeople and Boy would be my favourites of his thus far. Not seen Jojo or Thor yet though as neither really appeal to me that much.
Late reaction but great news, currently in my top 5 'new' directors, I felt Jojo Rabbit was a bit misunderstood. Waititi is the one that could possibly bring the much needed balance to the force/franchise. Also it's not hard to top The Rise of Skywalker.

You can’t breed two deep rollers, or their young will roll all the way down, hit, and die. Officer Starling is a deep roller, Barney. We should hope one of her parents was not.

I like the director (What we do in the Shadows is hilarious), but I haven't enjoyed the Disney Star Wars films except Rouge One. They just aren't very good in my opinions and feel rushed.
