Taika Waititi, the acclaimed director of "Thor Ragnarok," is aiming to bring the original joy of the Star Wars saga to his upcoming movie in the franchise. He has been developing the film for several years and is focused on achieving the right feel and quality, not rushing the process. His inspirations are the classic Star Wars installments, particularly "A New Hope," "The Empire Strikes Back," and "Return of the Jedi."

Waititi has indicated that, due to other commitments that could take up to six or seven years, his Star Wars project might not grace the big screen until around 2030. Despite the film's announcement back in May 2020, progress updates have been sparse, leading to speculation about the film's status. However, Waititi has reassured fans that he is continuously working on the project, even though, as of June 2023, the script was still lacking a middle section.

While the Star Wars film schedule has gaps and other projects like Kevin Feige's have been canceled, there are still upcoming films to anticipate. These include a movie from Dave Filoni, potentially concluding arcs started in the Star Wars TV shows, a film by James Mangold about the beginning of The Force, and a return of Daisy Ridley as Rey Skywalker, set 15 years after "The Rise of Skywalker," directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy.

The gaming and movie community continues to watch for further news about these anticipated Star Wars stories, hoping to revisit the beloved universe with the same awe and excitement as the original films.
