Take it to the Obi-Wan movie threat, dude.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

He already said "no thanks, I like having control and making my own movies, lol"

If he ends up with a Star War he's gonna look like a sellout at best and a lying shithead at worst.

Not really. Nobody even before talks can come out and say they’re doing these films. They’d make their own lives unbearable and everything they say under an immediate spotlight.

He already did a Thor movie with Disney. I don't see how that would affect him here. He probably has a good working relationship with them, I hope he is doing the Obi Wan Movie

"However, Waititi recently told Uproxx that he was just kidding around. "I'm not an idiot. Who would actually say no to Star Wars?" he said."

Clearly a joke about the revolving door of producers on the stand alone SW films - nothing more

Real talk: I keep hoping there will be an Ahsoka film announcement, because then I know I'll finally get to meet you and chat about stuff.

Anything big from the late-clone wars to Rebels, and yeah, we'll watch it together. That or you know, Pearl Jam.
