As for “Star Wars”, many of the screen efforts made in recent years have been delving into periods of time or characters known to the public.
Even efforts to change the tone from “Rogue One” to “The Mandalorian” are still based on callbacks to familiar faces or iconography, while others like “Obi-Wan Kenobi” or “Solo” only revolve around in their fan service.
However, things are about to change. The upcoming TV series “Star Wars: The Acolyte” will finally take us back a long way from what we know as we explore the last days of the High Republic era.
Last month, showrunner Leslye Headland talked about how she deliberately wanted to distance herself from other “Star Wars” programs and her dependence on inherited characters, though the show will still focus on the Jedi order.
It’s a sentiment that filmmaker Taika Waititi from “Thor: Love and Thunder” seems to agree with. The New Zealand filmmaker recently spoke to TotalFilm about his planned Star Wars film and indicated that his work is planned to enter new territory for the franchise, not only because he wants to, but because the franchise needs it. to stay healthy:
“Look, I think in order for the ‘Star Wars’ universe to expand, it has to expand. I don’t think it works for the ‘Star Wars’ universe by making a movie where everyone says, ‘Oh, well, well, these are the plans for the Millennium Falcon, ah, this is Chewbacca’s grandmother.
That’s great, although I’d like to pick up something new and create new characters and expand the world, otherwise it seems like a very small story. “
The Waititi movie is expected to be the next “Star Wars” movie to hit the screens, though there are no details yet on what to expect from it. No release date has been set for your project.
