Good on paper, never underestimate Disney's ability to either stifle creativity or drive someone too talented away.

He did direct the best mandalorian episode so at least he should be able to get this done well in 2024 or whenever this gets made

Thor worked out okay and that was Disney. Then again the guy who runs the marvel stuff seems to be able to do what he wants, can imagine Disney being more hands on with a Star Wars movie.

Well they fired Lord and Miller from Solo, so yeah

I think Waititi has a bit more cache than they did though so he can probably "get away" with more

Only if it's Rise of the Solo.

So there's this lady, Gertrude, who discovers that she was an illegitimate child of Han's. She wants to be a space pirate like her dad but has to join the Empire because of debts. Then she steals an X-Fighter and joins the resistance.

Why invest money in new properties when you can shovel out old ones and people will gobble it up because nostalgia is a blinding light.

I don't think it will be good no matter who directs it, honestly.

great idea to hire a guy that wouldn't stay on for the entire trilogy and then beg him to come back to fix the last movie

Both are right!

Can't take risks to upset fans because of how diehard they are to the nostalgia, so disney takes no risks and fans dislike how generic the films are. Never ending cycle of making mediocre films and raking in cash continues

hey they get to do something interesting at least one time!

also I think he's shown his ability to work under both Marvel (Ragnarok) and Star Wars (Episode 8 of Mando), so skepticism is warranted but he might do something cool

I mean, it was Disney caving to the fanbase response.

Frankly they may be spooked away from fucking with it too much after Rise was so hated that it made the people screaming about the one they were trying to 'apologize' for go "hey maybe 8 wasn't so bad".
