Taika Waititi’s highly anticipated “Star Wars” movie will not film this year.
Lucasfilm announced on May 4, 2020, that Waititi would co-write and direct a new “Star Wars” movie. The Wrap recently asked Waititi if work on the project would begin soon.
“Not this year,” Waititi said. “I’m going to be in New Zealand from August until the end of the year with ‘Our Flag Means Death’ and ‘Time Bandits’ and during that time I will still be writing. I’m still trying to figure out what the story is.”
Few details about the new movie have been divulged. In a recent interview with Stephen Colbert, Waititi joked that the movie would focus on Jar-Jar Binks, a character hated by a large portion of the Star Wars fan base.
Waititi says he’s been able to bring his own tone to the new movie.

“… I’m able to kind of bring my tone. At the moment it’s just very early, because I … still haven’t even finished the script. I’m still trying to come up with ideas and I’m mostly kind of in that part of the process where it’s still very kind of open. And when I write, I kind of write every idea I’ve ever had and then start to kind of chisel it down into something. But I’m still throwing everything at the wall right now,” the writer and director told /Film.
