I would be perfectly content if they never made another Star Wars movie

Same

Good thing you can choose not to watch!

As long as he directs more episodes of The Mandalorian, too.

I can do another 5 years without star wars.

I'ts crazy how his career happened. Not that I thought he wasn't deserving. It's just always hard to believe someone will make it so big coming from new zealand and being Maori.

Right? If you'd told me back when Boy came out that one day he'd be doing Thor and Star Wars, I'd have thought you were crazy.

Are people proud of him in NZ?

[alexlover14]

From the time I spent there he is the posterboy for what is possible for NZers and is pretty beloved? Peter Jackson of course was a big deal but Taika has been able to balance doing the big Hollywood films and his smaller NZ films. I hope that he doesn't step away from doing the smaller projects for the $$.

they?

Taika wrote, produced and directed it

who is 'they'?

[summerswings]

Maybe? Probably? But he looks positively golden brown next to the main character, who is almost translucent.
