Despite rumors stating Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie had been scrapped at Lucasfilm, the project remains alive and well with the acclaimed filmmaker set to turn in a new draft of his script following the conclusion of the Writers Guild of America strike.While honoring Shawn Levy at the recent TIFF Tribute Awards, Waititi referenced the duo’s competing Star Wars projects, quipping, “Unlike me, let’s hope he manages to finish a script for that.” Although Waititi was merely joking about his movie’s long development period, some online misconstrued his comments to mean that his Star Wars movie was dead. However, this is not the case, with The Hot Mic’s Jeff Sneider (via The Bespin Bulletin) reporting, “It’s not dead. Taika has turned in multiple drafts at this point and other writers as well have touched it. Taika owes them [Lucasfilm] another draft after the [WGA] strike is over.”Waititi was announced to be directing and co-writing a Star Wars movie on May 4, 2020, which was originally aimed to be released in late 2023. Although Waititi was initially co-writing the feature with Krysty Wilson-Cairns, the Scottish screenwriter was no longer attached to the movie by March 2023. While plot details remain under wraps, the movie is expected to feature new characters and locations in the Star Wars galaxy. In May 2023, Waititi revealed that he has “a really good idea” for his movie, but that he was struggling with the second act. “You’re like, ‘What’s going to happen?’ And then you look at all of those films that are so great, you’re like, ‘Well, I guess they can’t meet some smuggler with an alien sidekick,'” he explained.RELATED: Baylan Skoll’s Endgame in Ahsoka Mirrors a Fallen Order Villain
