Taika Waititi reveals some good news about Star Wars Mandalorian series

This might be good.


I'm not sure about others, but for me I felt like Disney and dumbass Rian tried to make TLJ too much like a marvel movie, notably the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. You could see it with the lame jokes, like the momma joke between Hux and Poe at the beginning, Luke throwing the lightsaber while calling it a "laser sword", Luke drinking blue milk, also Finn seems to try hard to be funny in random moments, even in TFA. Like when Harrison Ford finds out he was in sanitation at the base, as if that was supposed to be funny.

Even though Taika Waititi is one of the directors working on The Mandalorian, don’t expect the series to take a different tone than what Star Wars fans are used to.
Speaking at the Television Critics Association Monday, Waititi was asked if he was going to be able to put his own stamp on The Mandalorian—similar to how he made a Marvel movie his own with the irreverent, colorful, and hilarious Thor Ragnarok.

“A little bit, but Star Wars is very different to the Marvel style,” he said, according to Deadline. “The tone of the first films really should be adhered to, it’s what the fans like. You can’t disrespect it. Definitely my tone is in there.”

That’s about to be expected, honestly. One of the many reasons Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired from directing Solo was because they were reportedly trying to make a movie that didn’t quite feel like a “Star Wars movie”—and that’s also why a seasoned veteran like Ron Howard was brought in to replace them. Lucasfilm and Disney executives seem very protective of the brand and are not ready to take wild, tonal risks just yet.
Waititi is one of five directors announcedfor the rumored eight-episode series, which is being written and executive produced by Jon Favreau. “It was amazing,” Waititi said of the experience. “Favreau is a genius…it’s fun doing something in the Star Wars universe. It’s [strange] to see a stormtrooper, and then when you’re doing a scene with 50 or 60 of them, it’s amazing.”

Too bad frick face Rian didnt get the axe. TLJ felt nothing like Star wars. Even Laura Dern said she read the script and thought it was an Indie film.
