Taika Waititi and Rian Johnson movies are still planned but not for now
The films announced almost three years ago star wars Realized by respectively Taika YTT And Rian Johnson It takes so long to advance that we thought they would never see the light of day. nevertheless, Kathleen Kennedy Make sure they are still in development. About that Taika YTT, the screenplay is still being written and will take as long as it takes. It has even been specified that the filmmaker is now working alone on the screenplay.
” taika Still working on it. He wrote the screenplay himself. He doesn’t really want to involve parties Lucasfilm Ltd. In the process and I don’t blame him. He has a very, very unique voice. So we want to protect it and it does. But we will one day. »

Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2 isn’t working anytime soon.
Last year, Obi-Wan was embodied again by the return of Kenobi Ewan McGregor This series was an event as expected. If the result is half-depressing, the series has great moments of emotion, especially the scenes between Obi-Wan and his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker who became Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) despite the open ending, Kathleen Kennedy There is no rush for a sequel.
“It is not in active development. But I never say never, because there is always a possibility. The series was therefore well received and [la réalisatrice] Deborah Chaw You have done a spectacular job. I know that tooEvan Really want it to do another season.
