Rian Johnson shares his excitement over Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie

May 6, 2020 by Samuel Brace

Rian Johnson, the director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, has shared his excitement at Taika Waititi’s recently announced Star Wars movie.

To celebrate May the Fourth, Lucasfilm confirmed that Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi would be directing a Star Wars movie. While we have no details on the film or when it will come out, it’s certainly exciting news!

Rian Johnson, the director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is also excited and took to Twitter to share his thoughts about Waititi and co-writer Krysty Wilson-Cairns:

“I have NO idea what kind of SW will come out of Taika and Krysty’s and Leslye’s brains, if I tried to guess I’d be wrong, and that is the most exciting thing I can imagine.”

Waititi does have some Star Wars experience with The Mandalorian so we do have something to go on but Johnson’s right, when helming his own story, anything could be coming our way. Exciting times!
