Taika Waititi's highly anticipated untitled Star Wars movie has been placed on hold indefinitely. The director, known for Thor: Ragnarok and Jojo Rabbit, announced that he and writer Tony McNamara are moving on to a different project, effectively freezing development on the Star Wars film until further notice. Despite initial excitement from Lucasfilm when the project was announced in 2020, the movie has failed to gain traction or even acquire a title over the past six years. While the cancellation is not official, the delay highlights the persistent uncertainty surrounding Lucasfilm's ability to deliver new theatrical films.
