Would Brian Blessed and Sam Jones cameo in a new Flash Gordon movie? (Image credit: StudioCanal)įlash Gordon is a very different proposition. After his involvement was confirmed, he put a tongue-in-cheek post on Instagram that “as a long-time fan of Star Wars, I’m so angry about what I’m going to do to ruin it”. But how comfortable would he be comfortable singing from someone else’s hymn sheet? And what would be the benefit to Lucasfilm of bringing in Waititi as a gun for hire, only to stifle what makes him special?Įven Waititi seems to acknowledge the potential for a mismatch, joking back in 2017 – before he was officially linked to Star Wars – that he’d be “ fired within a week” if he ever got the gig. Of course, Waititi has some experience negotiating the challenges and compromises of franchise filmmaking – he's even directed an episode of The Mandalorian. But now Lucasfilm has identified an approach that works, how much freedom will there be for others to push the Star Wars envelope? With Alita: Battle Angel and Sin City director Robert Rodriguez joining the creative team for The Book of Boba Fett, it'll be intriguing to see how much of his trademark style is visible in the new show. There's no doubt they've done a brilliant job bringing balance to the Force, with The Mandalorian hitting on the perfect formula to appeal to long-term Star Wars fans and newcomers alike.

These days, Disney Plus TV shows like The Mandalorian and upcoming spin-off The Book of Boba Fett appear to be the priority, with the creative team of showrunner Jon Favreau and Lucasfilm's executive creative officer Dave Filoni (a man who has Star Wars in his blood, after working on The Clone Wars and Rebels) making many of the big editorial decisions. Since then – and the comparative disappointments of Solo: A Star Wars Story and The Rise of Skywalker – it feels like there's been a change of direction at Lucasfilm. Indeed, Rian Johnson's efforts to play around with the Star Wars formula in The Last Jedi proved incredibly divisive among the fanbase. While the quality of the scripts and humor haven’t always been consistent (and some outings are darker than others), the nine episodes of the Skywalker Saga, Rogue One, Solo: A Star Wars Story, The Mandalorian, and even animated shows The Clone Wars and Rebels have rarely experimented with new genres in the quite the same way as the MCU. Star Wars, on the other hand, is much more uniform in tone. The broadness of the Marvel church is the reason the more comedic likes of Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor: Ragnarok can sit happily alongside more serious properties like Avengers: Endgame and Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

While it’s undeniable that Marvel has been known to sacrifice an individual movie or TV show to the gods of the MCU's overall story arc – Iron Man 2, Avengers: Age of Ultron and WandaVision are just three examples – numerous filmmakers have also been given the opportunity to push the envelope creatively. What would a Taika Waititi Star Wars movie look like? (Image credit: © LucasFilm 2020)īut – and this is a Death Star-sized but – it seems unlikely that Lucasfilm would provide Waititi the sort of creative freedom he’s been given by Marvel Studios.
