Disney has two of the most lucrative brands in Hollywood withStar WarsandMarvel , but it is the galaxy far , far away they ’re more protective of , according to music director Taika Waititi . Over the last few days , he ’s made comedic indie hitsWhat We Do In The ShadowsandHunt for the Wilderpeople , but it was his work in 2017 onThor : Ragnarokthat in truth showed he can play his unique sense of sense of humour to any task . He ’s become one of the industry ’s most seek after talents as a resultant .
While he ’s since been work on a TV variant ofWhat We Do In The Shadowsand a WWII satireJojo Rabbit , Waititi also joinedThe Mandalorianas a theater director . The Jon Favreau - produced series is an undivided to Disney ’s streaming service of process , andWaititi directed an installment of the show , which also features episodes by Dave Filoni , Rick Famuyiwa , Bryce Dallas Howard , and more .

WhenObserverhad the opportunity to interview Waititi at SXSW , they asked him which property the Mouse House is more protective over and puts stricter rule of thumb on . For Waititi , the answer was simple , saying,“Star Wars , yeah , easily . “However , he explained in the beginning in the same interview that he was still able-bodied to bring his own twisting to his instalment ofThe Mandaloriandespite this . He say :
" There ’s by all odds some of the clobber I ’ve learned over the years from do work with [ Clement ] and [ Simms ] and everyone else back home that I have fetch to my sequence . But I ca n’t … It ’s a very sacred universe , theStar Warsuniverse , so I ca n’t do too much of it . "
It is understandable why Disney and Lucasfilm are being more protective of the Star Wars universe . The enfranchisement as a whole is one of the most iconic and popular property of all time for a understanding , and they want to ensure they do not decrease fervor by releasing lustreless products . They ’ve so far stayed very nigh to the original trilogy and its characters so as to try and attain this , withThe Mandalorianhaving the potential to furcate out and tell its own story that is largely disordered . But , even if Disney is being protective of Star Wars to keep the brand popular , the galaxy far , far away can still take a pageboy out of Marvel ’s playbook to see how it can keep on to grow .
The MCU films have a somewhat received approach and step , but Marvel Studios has also been allowed to mix in unlike genres throughout the last 11 year of films . Waititi took theThorfranchise away from the Shakespearian element and went full cosmic drollery withThor : Ragnarok , and the results both financially and critically mouth for themselves . With exciting voice like Waititi or Famuyiwa on boardThe Mandalorian , Waititi imply they are still let him do his own affair ( to a certain degree ) is a good polarity . And for the succeeding ofStar warfare , it would be smart forRian Johnson ’s trilogy , the trilogy from theGame of Thronescreators , and theCassian Andor Disney Plus seriesto do the same , not only to keep the dealership evolving , but to utilise the full ability of the talent they impart alongside .
