Experience Tumblr Like Never Before
Just gotta get this out there; I really can't share with people's exitement about a Taika Waititi-directed Star Wars movie. I think he's great, but like, remember when Lord & Miller were fired by parted ways with Disney mid-filming because their version of Solo became "too comedic, too meta, too improv-heavy"? AKA, too "Lord & Miller? Like, these guys made 21 Jump Street, The Lego Movie, and went on to make Into the Spider-Verse! That's what their movies are like! AND, might I add, not too dissimilar from Waititi's directing style.
But no, I'm sure that Disney would be more than happy to give Taika Waititi free rein, and that his movie won't end up a written-by-committee, studio-interference-laden mess at best, or a completely different director's poor attempt at salvaging it into an unassuming and inoffensive tribute to our Disney-overlords at worst.
