Lucasfilm Has Now Denied The Report That Standalone STAR WARS Films Have Been Put On Hold
Despite a seemingly reliable report to the contrary, it seems the rumor that Lucasfilm shelved the "Star Wars Story" spinoff movies that are currently in the works may have been premature. Check it out...
We recently reported on a rumor that claimed Disney/Lucasfilm had decided to put their planned standalone Star Wars movies on hold after the disappointing box office performance of Solo: A Star Wars Story, but it looks like this may not be the case after all.
ABC's sources reached out to Lucasfilm who called the report “inaccurate” and "speculative at best." In fact, they say there are "multiple" Star Wars films currently in development that have not been officially announced, that will move forward separate from Rian Johnson's new trilogy and another series of movies from Game of Thrones producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
Of course, this doesn't mean that certain changes aren't going to be implemented, and Lucasfilm could still have shelved certain projects (a Solo sequel and that Lando spinoff are almost certainly not gonna happen), but it does bode well for James Mangold's Boba Fett and that still-not officially announced Obi Wan Kenobi movie heading into production.
Oh, we also have this from EW's Anthony Breznican.
