Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, shared the latest progress on director Taika Waititi's upcoming Star Wars film.

Along with his regular involvement with Marvel Studios, one of the Disney affiliates, Waititi is also slowly but surely carving out more space in the Star Wars franchise.

The character appears in several episodes of the series. Waititi's involvement with the franchise was solidified significantly in the spring of 2020 when it was announced,
that he would be working on a currently untitled Star Wars film.
