The Mandalorian's Carl Weathers Wants To Direct A Greef Karga Star Wars Movie

Weathers acknowledges that would be a little selfish, but he says he has good reason, beyond vanity, to be intrigued by the story of this complicated man.

"It would be cool to see him as a youngster. Diving into those formative teenage years, watching him learn both bad and good habits. See what comes of it as we build the man we we see today."

But he doesn't just want a "Solo: A Star Wars Story"-style Young Greef adventure. As appealing as it is to see his origins, the real meat of this story would be what Karga has to deal with as we know him in "The Mandalorian", trying to lead the people of Nevarro and protect them from the pirates, the remnants of the Empire, and other space villains.

He's right. Karga is uniquely qualified to be a strong leader and a guy who isn't afraid to get his hands (or exquisite robes) dirty when the going gets tough. That said, it's sure to be a storyline that will continue in subsequent seasons of "The Mandalorian," so whether or not Greef lives happily or falls to a hail of blaster fire will likely be found out in the Disney+ show.

Anyway, Weathers has proven himself to be an excellent director, so never say never.
