Taika Waititi Wants To Expand The Star Wars Universe
In aninterview withGamesRadar+, Waititi explained his plans for the upcoming film:
“I think for the Star Wars universe to expand, it has to expand. I would like to take something new and create some new characters and just expand the world, otherwise, it feels like it’s a very small story.”

The director worked on an episode in the first season ofThe Mandalorian. The series was a huge success, and it reinvented theStar Warslegend into a whole new concept. OtherStar Wars-related titles came to life, namelyThe Book of Boba Fettand theAhsokaseries.
These new plans for the series are refreshingly igniting the love that fans have forStar Wars. One can be assured that it is in good hands.
