"Look, I think for the Star Wars universe to expand, it has to expand," he tells us. "I don't think that I'm any use in the Star Wars universe making a film where everyone's like, 'Oh great, well that's the blueprints to the Millennium Falcon, ah that's Chewbacca's grandmother.' That all stands alone, that's great, though I would like to take something new and create some new characters and just expand the world, otherwise it feels like it's a very small story."

he's unironically right. focusing on the same fricking time period and same five characters is lame.
too bad this guy's such a homosexual.
if anything, sequels were too white for this guy.

Yeah but what's the point if you're ignoring the elephant in the room? They raped the franchise with woke politics
I'm the protagonist for his movie
oh no
New zealand is the shittiest county on earth, those feral c**ts keep moving over here by the boatload and never fricking go back
u ok bejitabro?
Please don't move here. It's such a garbage country with more gangs per capita than anywhere else. basically, everything you've heard about New Zealand is a lie. New Zealand is incredibly fake and gay - especially wellington. It'd be nice if someone would nuke that homosexualy shithole.
this
we may have p labs in christchurch but at least we're not the fricking sodomite rip off LA like wellington is
that place ruins people
needs a smiting
No director other than George understands Star Wars
youd have better success with his landscaper than with lucas
that's what they should have done in the first place
>"Look, I think for the Star Wars universe to expand, it has to expand,"
I agree but also frick this schmuck I don’t want to see anything he has to make ever again
That's how they should be doing it.
take the stone out of my shoe
That's literally the only sane thing they can do with this franchise. Set it a thousand years before or after OT. No more pandering to nostalgia shit.
Who could they even pander to? I don't think anyone is nostalgic about Rey or Fin and everyone else is gone.
Wish they had the balls to do 1000 years in the future. The last few IRL decades were OBSESSED with prequels and origin story shit. Ex. Star Trek took almost two decades to move the story forward from Nemesis
Star Wars is milked to death with only the few decades surrounding the Battle of Yavin
they should make a new franchise then
they won't because they're just piggybacking on an established brand
SW series 1000 years later would literally be a new franchise but with SW logo for millions of dumb fans to watch it 100%.
Unironically may be good if he actually tries to move away from existing characters and settings. The biggest problem with Star Wars, that predates Disney's acquisition although its gotten worse since, is how small a galaxy with millions of species and tens of millions of habitable planets feels, everyone seems to know everyone. While that may be believable at the absolute highest tiers of intergalactic business and politics it makes no sense for space proles and lumpens. Even if he doesn't stick to what we know as traditional star wars but stays away from what's been established then that is genuinely expanding the galaxy. Star Wars should be one of the easiest franchises to work with if you're genuinely creative because the canvas you can paint on is so big but most creative who have access to Star Wars have come up with derivative and unoriginal aesthetics, stories, and characters. We are never getting the EU back and Disney has permanently fricked the core plot of Star Wars in their Canon so these sorts of isolated Star Wars stories are the only thing I'm interested in until a male goyim (dont even care the race at this point) is running Disney

The fact that you can't help but force some connection to the OT is astounding. Why the frick does your main guy need to be connected to the emperor in any way? People like you are how we have shit like we've got today.

"we've got a story. I'm really excited by it because it feels very me."
Writer-Director is a meme from a bygone era where literate theater types were still the main crop of people fed into the director pipeline. There are many times the number of specialized script writers out there -- this is about saving $ on a guy they have under contract:
>no pitch

Bingo

Like him or hate him, he made one of the most boring mainline heroes in the MCU (Thor) into someone audiences actually want to see. That takes a degree of talent to do.
Yeah, completely ignoring everything that was built up in the past and acting like it never existed while throwing in nothing but quips and 80s music since the audience are zoomers who won't remember anything. Any hack can do it but for some reason he gets away with it but that's beside the point. The point is they gave him a film with no pitch or idea, but only because he's popular right now, just like Rian, Paddy, GoT guys, Josh, and Colin, Phil and Christopher, and look what happened.
Rian Johnson was a special case, guy was basically groomed to be a director by the shadowy forces of Disney behind the scenes.
It has been 5 years and he hasn't done anything yet. He's too busy with other projects so I doubt his trilogy is ever going to happen.
At this point I think his moronic trilogy actually might happen, if only because Disney is going to end up burning bridges with every other director in the business.
>was basically groomed to be a director by the shadowy forces of Disney behind the scenes
>Makes Brick
>Makes Looper
>no connection with Disney
>gets hired by disney once to make TLJ
>Goes to make Knives Out
>agrees to make 2 sequels for Netflix
>Somehow groomed by disney????????
HOW? If anything, JJ Abrams fits that bill given how much he just copy pastes old world.
You do realize they changed the amount of time between each movie trilogy back to the way it was before, right?
Like OT to PT was 15 years, PT to ST was 10 years, ST to RJT starts at 2019 and goes to ????
If anything, it made less sense to make Star Wars movies every year. That stupid Solo movie George Lucas wrote and that dumb movie Rogue One only exist to fill in the years where there weren't any Star Wars movies
They better include Reva or I am going to be PISSED
Anything Taika Waititi produces is going to be shit. He's a woke filmmaker which is why Disney was so excited to give him a project after he gained some goodwill on The Mandalorian-- a project where he had to follow orders from other people.
Terminator is woke. Alien is woke. Literally nobody will give a frick if something is woke or not if it's done well.
Yeah. Those franchises are fricking rocking aren't they?
They were good for a couple of movies nothing can keep quality for decades. No movie franchise should go for that long.
They weren't "woke" on inception you disingenuous homosexual. The gender of the main characters played a key part of the story in both movies. Stop trying to rewrite history.
You just didn't notice because it was done well. Those movies are oozing with feminist themes.
>He's a woke filmmaker
Explain how he isn't. His pirate show is an LGBT comedy about coming out of the closet. He made a wacky, slapstick comedy about how nazis are bad and said it was "timely" and "needed badly right now" (Trump's presidency). I would love to hear how he's not a Kool-aid drinking leftist.
Do you realize that nazis aren't exactly popular with anyone out there? I don't personally, but it's not exactly controversial for people to hate nazis. I'll never understand why you guys act so surprised about that. It's not "woke" it's widely accepted. Not that anon btw
>Willfully ignoring the "timely", "needed badly" part
Frick off you disingenuous c**t
/pol/ack’s got their nerve struck again, so easy to spot and piss them off.
Anyway
I am interested to see what exactly he’s gonna do and what era, perhaps the far past before the republic?
Have an updootarino for you good sir, I can't wait to see what kind of quality filmmaking the marvel universe has in store as well. I'll be right there in the front row with my bacon bits and stuffed narwhall.
Stuffed narwhal? You living in the 17th century?
>Do you realize that nazis aren't exactly popular with anyone out there?
I take it you have swastika apparel and wear it outside in public? Am I wrong? Do people like nazis or is that something you have to keep to yourself?
If Nazis were truly unpopular then the propaganda wouldn't be necessary.
Yes they were victims of allied transphobia
You're a fricking moron if you think even the average right wing person thinks nazis are socially acceptable. The propaganda isn't about actual nazis it's conservatives and right wing ideals that they are trying to destroy. They call people nazis because literally nobody wants to be associated with them.
They don't now, but they will as we descend further into Weimar clown world... hence the recent anti-Nazi artificial hysteria.
>then the propaganda wouldn't be necessary
Oh boy, a israelite lying by inversion again.
just as well, trump lost
he is israeli, he isnt doing out of ideological reasons, but racial ones. he isnt woke
It'll be annoying Reddit type comedy throughout, but if Lucasfilm gives him as much freedom as that worthless hack Abrams it'll at least be better than all the other slop they've shat out into theatres. The "story group" cat ladies at Lucasfilm are completely devoid of any talent and need to stay the frick away from it. Then it might turn out somewhat okay.
Maybe we will finally get something that's not creatively bankrupt trash about le things you know. Maybe SW will finally be decent again after 30 decades. But this is probably the last chance. Current SW is so fricking trash and there are better alternatives every season.

Well that's definately nice to hear and all but
>Taika Waititi
Mando S1 brought back my hype to this broken husk of a former franchise and now these collective of progressive and creatively bankrupt frickers sink it again. Is like they never actually learn.
Taika directed the s1 finale of the mandalorian
He also directed the dogshit that was Thor Ragnarok so...
Why do they not hire like a thousand sci-fi writers/artists/anything related to have a little tournament of Star Wars pitches, they have so much fricking money
Can they be trusted to even pick out the good ones? They'd probably be choosing based on measures of the race and gender of the applicant, the poz level of the story while remaining censorable for foreign markets, the ability to turn it into a soulless flick, and last of all their own sensibilities as middle aged women who never liked this crap.
Yeah Star Wars isn't dead enough already, let's ask Taika to finish the job.
It's possible he could do some side stuff, but I would make sure it is not directly connected to Star Wars itself.
I would rather see Blomkamp's version of a random Star Wars story. Chuckles Takatta there only wants to do commercial stuff, not actual decent scripts & stories...he's a coloring book director, not a great script dude.
They fricked up with the non-canon cartoon stuff, which just bogged it down worse with no actual expansion.
The books long before that wisely were limited to not go too far out, yet somehow are not canon while shitty cartoons are.
Can he make Disney money with some big one-off's of Star Wars? Yes...cookie cutter coloring book with disposable, uninteresting characters that are flat.
Can he actually expand Star Wars in real ways?
No.
Star wars fans have been fed old newspapers like pigs on a third world farm and they don't even care.Do these people have no standards in life? Is it so hard for them to change that pattern of robotic consumerism about a space adventure franchise that died twenty years ago?
Might accidentally be good
I would love all new characters as long as it takes place on Tatooine
David Cohen has done some decent shit, but it's way too late to get hyped about starwar.
The movie people really, really have no idea how expansive the EU was do they? Almost everything they come up with has been done better years back by the EU.
they absolutely do and they only made it not canon so they can steal from it since very few fans are familiar with it. I really hope that this movie will be something truly original, not a repackaging of some EU story, but the chances are slim to none.
How long before they make the announcement that Taika has backed out of the project due to creative differences?
I got my money on 3 weeks from now.
I could see them forcing him to dial down the humor which would be good but who knows if he can handle that.
Next year. Or it will silently disappear like Rian trilogy.
Disney will put a gun to his head and force him to make the movie there way if it gets to that, his movie already got bumped up a slot because they fired the lady they hired for the Rogue Squadron movie due to creative differences.
My guess is the director cared to much for the project (i remember her parent being pilot or something) Disney is in need of someone who can attract audiences but doesn't give a shit about Star Wars
It was a passion project for her, yes.
I will never watch a single thing this annoying c**t involves himself with.
The problem, for the last 30 years, isn't that anybody hasn't tried to expand the universe with new characters, it's that it's been done with C and D grade ideas that have been horribly executed and left fans with a terrible finished product.
I hate these dumb strawman arguments corps put out. JUST MAKE A GOOD FRICKING MOVIE, PEOPLE WILL STOP COMPLAINING!
It will be about a little boy on the planet tootaine who sees and interacts with imaginary darth vader, whacky situations ensue.
Oh, there will also be some israelite living in his closet or something.
Fricking kek.
Jabba the Gunt will live across the hall and bang on his door "WHERE RENT, PARKER?". and he will slap the cookie plate out of the daughters hands.
Jesus fricking Christ, he's literally a Bolshevik with some leaf thrown in, it's even worse than when I just thought he was a run of the mill israelite.
He's never done anything good in his life. What we do in the shadows was his only great work, and it was good despite him, not because of him.
>I think for the Star Wars universe to expand, it has to expand
Why are they giving another comedy director a chance at Star Wars when that was exactly why TLJ failed?
Darth Hitler the true leader of the empire an interdimensinal evil entity that exists in all galaxies.
I dont like his movies.
Taika is a genius. I trust him. When he came onto Thor, he basically said the comics suck, he's just gonna make his own movie and he did.
wasnt ragnarok planet hulk combined with another comics? also with that attitude why even direct it?
It was loosely based on planet hulk
>also with that attitude why even direct it?
It's the correct attitude. Thor was a c-lister in the comics until the movies. Most of his stuff is shit.
Star Wars fans would eat runny dog shit off a plate if you gave the shit yoda ears and a lightsaber
That was true ten years ago. But the thing is if you sell too much Star Wars brand dogshit eventually Star Wars becomes a brand of dogshit.
They told their audience to go away because they wanted a new one. They got what they wanted and now they want them back.
You're right, but every dumb move Disney makes shrinks that pool.
It could work. It's not a guaranteed kino but it's worth a look.
He better have raked them over the coals on his contract though. Because if this goes foul it will bite his future prospects.
Why does he hate the source material so much?
On the contrary; such an approach leaves the legacy purer.
I don't like Waititi, but isn't he right on this one?
Maybe it's because I'm not a Star War fan, but it looks like 90% of the movies are about sand planet, snow planet, the jedi stuff and those 5 or 6 types of spaceships. Don't you get tired to see the same stuff over and over again?
Everyone should be black and speak jive.
As long as he doesn't self insert himself as a new character. I think its inevitable he'll be voicing an alien or something though. He won't be able to hurt himself
It’s gonna be a musical starring Jar Jar Binx
any self respecting director would turn down KK
> I would like to take something new and create some new characters and just expand the world, otherwise it feels like it's a very small story."
This is all true and it’s what Star Wars needs to continue as a franchise, however I hate all of his movies so won’t be watching this
I never bothered to check that he was israeli because he just looked like another brown mutt to me.
I genuinely hope it's KOTOR era but with 80s music and shitty quips just to piss people off
Im sick of Takis Watitty , I hate him I hate his face and I hate that he gave Tessa Thompson a career
He's going to ruin it.
Literally thank you. I have no problem with this, in principle.
Old characters done well >= new characters done well > new characters done shitty >>> old characters fricked up
The most likely frickup scenario is trying to create Planet Gay or where the rainbow aliens fight some metaphor for Trump, or something like that. "Haha I expanded the universe" no frick you. You made a moronic gay universe and shoehorned it into Star Wars so that you could pretend that Star Wars gay the whole time just like you.
The thing is, it's not like sticking to old characters is a safeguard against that kind of shit.
So yeah. Make some new stuff, and don't frick it up. Those are separate concerns.
it WILL star an ethnically ambiguous character and it WILL take place on a desert planet
He's right, like Rian was.
Didn't Rian kill off a bunch of characters and not introduce anyone new (or at least nobody new that didn't die)?
Can Disney PLEASE stop hiring the worst directors possible for the movies?
Fricking BDH could make a better Star Wars film than JJ, Rian, or Taika.
Brap D. Howard directed some Mando episodes didn't she?
Yep and her Boba Fett episode was literally the best AND only good episode of the entire show.
Here's the thing, if you make this movie, or any of the other movies that have been made that were called Star Wars, not as many people would watch them. Cause the stories are shit. You're using Star Wars as a marketing tool. Make something different for awhile. Try making good stories again. Respect the movies goer's money and time. Entertain them.
>Thinking it is still about entertainment
Modern Hollywood is all about producing the most blatant neo-liberal propaganda possible, in order to extract as much free money from Larry Fink as possible, and putting the creative accountants to work embezzling as much of the ridiculously inflated production budgets as possible.
And I said, stop doing that. Respect me, or I'll just entertain myself. And their millions just like me.
Based. This is all I want from new star wars shit, take the universe you were handed and build it out, don't just make Episode IV again
Star Wars Ended with the animated clone wars, if not Ep 3.
No, Star Wars was ruined back in 1999. George Lucas ignored Timothy Zahn in favor of his dumb ass concepts.
>Taika Waititi COHEN
I dislike taika
from interviews i've seen of him it feels like he's always trying too hard to inject his "humour" into fricking everything and just comes across as annoying
it's not like i don't get nz humour im from there myself but christ he lays it on a bit thick eh
