Taika Waititi Has Blunt Thoughts About Directing A Star Wars Movie

Taika Waititi’s comments to Variety shows what a double edged sword the Star Wars franchise can be for filmmakers. While many directors dream of the galaxy far, far away, there’s a ton of responsibility and weight that comes with singing up to expand the franchise. Generations of moviegoers are brought up on George Lucas’ colorful world, and therefore have strong reactions to each new movie. Waititi just doesn’t want to end up on the wrong side of history.
