RUMOR: We may never see Taika Waititi’s Star Wars movie

Some reports are suggesting that Taika Waititi's Star Wars movie might be dead -- meaning we'll never see it on the big screen like many fans hoped.

Fiction Horizon recently reported that the project is on an "indefinite hold," though it's unclear whether or not the source information is reliable. What we do know for certain is that there are no official updates on the progress or timeline of the untitled film.

During a separate interview, the writer and director did possibly hint that the project was no longer happening, but nothing has been confirmed either way.

None of this is really surprising, considering that we know almost nothing about the movie beyond Waititi's involvement. It was originally announced at the now infamous Disney Investor Day 2020 -- now over four years ago. And every "update" we've gotten since then has really been a non-update, suggesting that things haven't really moved forward much since they began.

Of course, we're all just speculating here -- no one except those actually involved with the potential film know what's really going on. If this weren't a Star Wars project, it's quite possible we never would have heard about it at all. Plenty of movies with big names attached to them never get made. We just don't get major headlines about most of them.

Waititi has already been lightly involved with Star Wars, and it would be amazing to see what he could do with an entire film and the Star Wars sandbox at his fingertips. But sometimes, some things just aren't meant to be. Perhaps, for Lucasfilm, Din Djarin and his son Grogu are the priority moneymakers -- everyone and everything else is just a "maybe someday."

That's just assuming Star Wars movies continue to happen at all -- but that's an entirely different article.
