Future ‘Star Wars Story’ Spin-Offs Are Reportedly On Hold at Lucasfilm

[Brehcepticon]

Collider reports that in the wake of the disappointing box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story, Lucasfilm has decided to put all of its planned Star Wars spin-off films on pause indefinitely. This includes the Obi-Wan Kenobi movie which was to be directed by The Hours filmmaker Stephen Daldry, and a Boba Fett movie which had Logan’s James Mangold in early talks to direct. Collider says Daldry and everyone else who was actively developing the Obi-Wan film are “no longer involved”, and they also imply that because Mangold was in early talks to write and direct the Boba Fett film before the extent of Solo’s box office disappointment was apparent, that deal may be off.

What do you think, brehs? If it's true I think they have the right idea. Star Wars movies are event films, pushing them out every year diminishes what makes them special. That and Marvel has taken their place in the mainstream film culture.

Boba Fett and Obi-Wan should've been the spin-offs to make after Rogue One.

Hopefully, one of the planned trilogies is KOTR, it’s the shot of excitement the franchise needs at this point new worlds, origins of the Sith, Jedis galore and epic lightsaber battles.

On Wednesday, Collider revealed that inside sources say that Lucasfilm has halted plans for more Star Wars spin-off movies to refocus on Episode IX and the future trilogy. The lukewarm box office results from Solo: A Star Wars Story is cited as the primary reason, even though the film grossed $339.5 million worldwide.

This means that the previously announced Boba Fett movie from Logan director James Mangold and the never-confirmed Obi-Wan Kenobi film are reportedly on hold, indefinitely. Pretty much anything that would’ve had “A Star Wars Story” might never happen now, all because audiences didn’t like Solo as much as they should have.

Just days ago, Star Wars voice actor Tom Kane claimed to an audience at All-Star Comic-Con in Tyson, Virginia that there were nine Star Wars movies currently in development. Now, we’re probably looking at less than half that number.

Previous rumors suggested that spin-offs focusing on Yoda and Jabba the Hutt were also in the works.

Makes sense. Episode 9 comes out in 18 months.

After that they'll be doing spinoffs till the end of time.
