Taika Waititi's Star Wars Film Officially On Hold

Taika Waititi has confirmed that his Star Wars movie, which has been in development since 2020, is now officially on hold. The director revealed this while promoting his latest film, "Klara and the Sun."

Waititi explained that he is currently focusing on four other film projects, but expressed optimism that his Star Wars endeavor might resume in the future, comparing it to "ice ages" that eventually end.

Previously, Waititi had discussed his intention to bring back the fun and adventurous spirit of the original Star Wars movies, while also aiming for his project to be distinct within the existing universe. Exiting Lucasfilm executive Kathleen Kennedy had previously indicated that the film was still in consideration.
