The very busy auteur (and actor) has a mysterious new film in the franchise coming — its first since ‘The Rise of Skywalker.’
Since purchasing Star Wars from George Lucas for billions — which he’s since spent in part on saving film history — Disney has, you could argue, played it safe. They made a new trilogy, the first of which was kind of a remake of the original Star Wars. They’ve done spin-offs and prequels and movies and shows filling in gaps in the main established “Skywalker Saga.” But that might change with that mysterious film in the works from Taika Waititi. The very busy Oscar-winning filmmaker (and delightful actor) has been tasked with making what will be the first Star Wars film since 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, and though it’s allegedly arriving sooner than you might think, there’s one hitch: The general public still doesn’t know much about it.
