There have been a lot of great presents for Star Wars fans on 2020’s May the 4th, and one of the most intriguing gift is the double announcement of a new film and TV series! For the new Star Wars film, it’ll be directed and co-written by Taika Waititi (JoJo Rabbit, Thor: Ragnarok, The Mandalorian) and Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917), with no details on its content nor release date. Curiously, in the announcement the film was discussed as a “feature film for theatrical release” (emphasis mine), making one wonder if that’s just due to everything going on with theaters being currently closed or they are considering making films for Disney+; Waititi’s involvement confirms rumors from earlier this year. Leslye Headland (Russian Doll) was revealed to be showrunning, writing, and executive producing an unnamed TV series for Disney+. This also confirms recent rumors she was making a show, though time will tell if it’s female-centric as originally reported.
