Taika Waititi's Star Wars Movie Gets Update From Kathleen Kennedy

Yesterday, it was revealed at Star Wars Celebration that James Mangold and Dave Filoni were helming their own Star Wars projects set in different eras alongside Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Rey movie. Mangold's project is set during the "Dawn of the Jedi," and that caused some worry from fans that were waiting for Taika Waititi's upcoming Star Wars project. But fret not, Waititi fans; it seems that Mangold has not taken over his project, and the director is actually still hard at work on his film. While at the convention (via Variety), Lucasfilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy revealed that Waititi's project is still in development.

"Taika is still working away," Kennedy revealed. "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."

Bo-Katan Kryze Star Katee Sackhoff Reveals How Her Hair Stays Amazing

"So there's like a sliding scale because, like, my head with the wig on does not actually fit in my helmet. So it's actually two different helmets because, uh, my helmet is perfectly formed to fit my skull. No one else can wear my helmet," Sackhoff revealed to us. "So if you add that much hair to it, like all the pins and everything else, it's just that much tighter, and it just doesn't go on. It's two separate helmets. So me trying to take my actual helmet off does not happen. We've done everything we could to make sure her hair looks perfect with the helmet off at all times. I feel like, in Bo's world, there are like teeny tiny, like nano droids or something, inside her helmet that just fix it all the time. Because, like in her head, maybe the ruler of Mandalore has to look amazing at all times."

The Mandalorian Season 3 is streaming exclusively on Disney+ now.
