[rushmore223]

It's just been confirmed that Taika Watiti, director of Thor Ragnarok and the season finale of The Mandalorian, will be directing a new Star Wars film.

For those that are unaware (probably nobody in here) Watiti also voiced IG-11 on the Mandalorian.

Though I think his brand of humor can be a little much at times there's no denying that Ragnarok was an absolutely amazing turnaround after TDW (and one of the most rewatchable of the entire MCU) and while the season finale of Mando wasn't as strong as Chow's episodes (IMO) I am still very optimistic that he'll provide a very fun SW movie that should appeal to fans and normies alike.

I am a fan of his work and projects. Curious though how people will react if it follows Taika Watiti silly comedy style into the SW Universe. I'm up for anything really as long as I'm entertained. The greater goal is repeat viewings.

I didn't care for the first Thor or TDW, but loved Ragnarok!

Watiti made me like a character I had passed on long before.

Sounds great to me. I'm definitely intrigued. I was hoping/expecting the news of Favreau doing a movie but this works too.

He directed the season finale of Mando, he can do the action too. I wonder what the film will be?

Well if Lady Thor goes well maybe they're planning a Padme standalone movie, lol.

Kill me now.

Fast forward to when he gets fired by Kennedy.

Kill me now.

"Padme: Love and Force Lightning"

lol

He will be 1000x better than RJ and 100x better than JJ.

Huge get. He saved Thor, hopefully he can save big budget Star Wars movies too. Hole is deep to dig out of after ST led to cancellations of multiple movies...

Finally someone who will nail making that long awaited Tag and Bink adaptation.

Has Kathleen Kennedy fired him yet?

 

[Magnusstewardson]

No he hasn’t filmed 80 percent of a movie yet.

 

[user 67922]

No he hasn’t filmed 80 percent of a movie yet.

that's when he gets fired for injecting too much humour into the movie?

 

[Magnusstewardson]

Just like Lord and Miller, perhaps he’s helming Solo 2.

It is interesting because he did originally come right out and publicly say that he didn't see himself ever directing a SW movie because he "actually likes to finish what he starts" so I wonder if he agreed to some sort of special "keep KK the eff away from me" deal, lol.

He will be 1000x better than RJ and 100x better than JJ.

So, 100,000 times better than PT GL.
