There is little doubt that The Mandalorian is turning into every Star Wars fan's favorite show right now. After all, the Disney+ series told a compelling story set in the Star Wars Universe with just the right amount of drama, action, suspense, and comedy. In addition to that, people got to meet the adorable Baby Yoda, who has captured the heart of the world. So it's no surprise that fans are pushing for Taika Waititi, who directed The Mandalorian's awesome Season 1 finale, to work on the next Star Wars film.
The final episode of The Mandalorian Season 1 served as an amazing conclusion to the series as there were several awesome moments. Mando's real name and origin story was finally revealed amidst the chaos as Moff Gideon tried to get Baby Yoda. However, the true hero of Chapter 8: Redemption was none other than the repaired IG-11 as he saved the Child, fixed Din Djarin's head wound, and ultimately gave their group a chance to escape by finally initiating his self-destruct sequence in front of the Stormtroopers chasing them. Since the droid was voiced by Taika Waititi himself, fans are now claiming that the Thor: Ragnarok director is the hero that Star Wars needs.
Taika Waititi has already proven that he can do wonders for any major franchise. His work on Thor: Ragnarok introduced a more laid-back God of Thunder as well as the much-needed humor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition to that, people are praising his most recent project Jojo Rabbit. But what are the chances that the What We Do In The Shadows star will actually get his own Star Wars movie?
For now, there have been no updates on whether Taika Waititi will direct a new episode in The Mandalorian Season 2. Additionally, it is still unclear if the New Zealand filmmaker will even be considered by Disney and Lucasfilm to helm a major Star Wars film. On the other hand, Waititi has already proven himself with his work in the Disney+ series. For now, fans will need to cross their fingers and hope that the studios will take note of Waititi's artistic touch.
Taika Waititi has already been confirmed to direct Thor: Love and Thunder, which will serve as the God of Thunder's fourth Marvel Cinematic Universe film. He is also expected to play a major role in the DC Extended Universe flick The Suicide Squad, which will be directed by fellow Marvel director James Gunn.
