Taika Waititi is also working on a standalone film in the “Star Wars” universe. Kennedy gave an update on that as well.
“Taika is still working away,” she said. “He’s writing the script himself. He doesn’t really want to bring others into that process and I don’t blame him. He has a very, very unique voice. So we want to protect that and that’s what he’s doing. But we’re going to make that one day.”

Rian Johnson planche toujours....
Taika Waititi planche toujours....
Patty Jenkins planche toujours....
Kevin Feige n'a jamais planché (alors qu'un scénariste était attaché, source THR, mais passons).![]()
Le fait est que le projet Waititi a été présenté avec une Tho Yor/Monolithe + un logo 'âge de pierre' = la période Dawn of Jedi. Après, je veux bien qu'il y ait plusieurs projets dans cette période, mais je doute qu'ils soient deux à franchir la ligne d'arriver. D'autant qu'on a déjà les films de 2025, 2027 et 2029.
“I’ve often brought up [James] Bond. That’s every three or four years, and there wasn’t this pressure to feel like you had to have a movie every year.”
“I feel that was very important to Star Wars. We have to eventise this. It’s much better to tell the truth that we’re going to make these movies when they’re ready to be made, and release them when they’re ready to be released.”
“What we’re exploring is the evolution of the Jedi. We’re going very far back, we’re looking at the present, and now we’re moving 15 years after The Rise Of Skywalker.”
“I believe I’m always going to happen when the Blu-ray comes out. That’s when I know it’s going to happen. There’s always, in the last moment, things go away. I’ve had it happen many, many, many times.
"We had the rise and fall of Jabba the Hutt, so I was super happy. We were doing a lot of stuff, and then it’s not my property, it’s not my money, and then it’s one of those 30 screenplays that goes away."
"Sometimes I'm bitter, sometimes I'm not. I always turn to my team and say, 'Good practice, guys. Good practice. We designed a great world. We designed great stuff. We learned.' You can never be ungrateful with life. Whatever life sends you, there's something to be learned from it."
"So, you know, I trust the universe, I do. When something doesn't happen, I go, 'Why?' I try to have a dialogue with myself. 'Why didn’t it happen?' And the more you swim upstream with the universe, the less you're gonna realize where you're going."

DEADLINE: We’ve read all these speculative reports that you are out, that there’s a frenzy for the next person who’s going to take over Lucasfilm. What is the truth?
"The truth is, and I want to just say loud and clear, I am not retiring. I will never retire from movies. I will die making movies. That is the first thing that’s important to say. I am not retiring. What’s happening at Lucasfilm is I have been talking for quite some time with both Bob and Alan about what eventual succession might look like. We have an amazing bench of people here, and we have every intention of making an announcement months or a year down the road. We are in lockstep as to what that’s going to be, and I am continuing. I’m producing the Mandalorian movie right now, and I’m also producing Shawn Levy’s movie, which is after that. So I’m continuing to stay at Lucasfilm and looking very thoughtfully with Bob and Alan as to who’s stepping in. So that is all underway, and we have every right to make that announcement when we want to make it."
DEADLINE: That you are looking within seems to give credence to what we’ve heard, that an exec like chief creative officer Dave Filoni is in a good position, as he works on a Star Wars to write and direct.
KENNEDY: "I can’t say who it is because there’s just an internal process that goes on inside a large corporation and a publicly held company, as to how we go about making deals, finalizing decisions and making announcements. There’s nothing unusual about that, and we’re in that process."
DEADLINE: This flurry of press coverage, it sounds like chaos. What’s the reality?
KENNEDY: "Chaos? There has never been any chaos because we know exactly what the plan is. And we’ve been talking about it, as I said, nonstop for the last couple of years because for obvious reasons — I’m not going to be here forever. George asked me 13 years ago to step in, and now I’m looking at who’s going to replace me. And as I said, we have a bench of people internally to handle the business, the creative side. The job has grown also since I stepped in. There was no streaming, there weren’t a lot of the things that we’re involved in right now going on. So it has grown."
DEADLINE: So even when you hand the reins to a Lucasfilm protégé, it sure sounds like you’re going to be in that world for eight or 10 years. Fair?
KENNEDY: "I don’t know if I’m going to say that, but yeah, it’s possible."
DEADLINE: How many development-type projects do you have percolating that you feel confident will turn into something down the line?
KENNEDY: "To play it safe, I’d say three or four right at the moment. And a large part of it, Mike, is who is the talent we’re attaching? And that’s a challenge in and of itself these days because people get really busy. So you find yourself having to wait with a lot of the top talent doing streaming and movies now. They’re juggling schedules. And when you do Star Wars, you pretty much have to step into it and not have any other competing work going on. It’s a good two to three years minimum commitment, and that’s tough to get top talent to be able to carve out that kind of time. So that’s part of the challenge as well."
