Lucasfilm Was Reportedly Developing A STAR WARS Spinoff Set In The Mos Eisley Spacesport
Mos Eisley: A Star Wars Story? That may sound ridiculous but a new report reveals that Lucasfilm was indeed moving forward on a spinoff putting the focus on the Mos Eisley spaceport! Read on for details...
Earlier this week, we learned that Lucasfilm had decided to shelve every single upcoming Star Wars spinoff movie, including Boba Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Since then, the studio has denied reports that it will only focus on those planned trilogies and the franchise's future remains a mystery as a result (more on that can be found here). However, another scrapped spinoff may have now been revealed.
According to the reliable folks over at Making Star Wars, Lucasfilm set aside space at Pinewood for a number of upcoming movies, including one which would have essentially been Mos Eisley: A Star Wars Story! That's not the official title, of course, but it was set to be the basic premise and the site reveals that the spotlight would have been placed on the spaceport Luke Skywalker visited in A New Hope.
It's also noted that Lucasfilm deciding not to move forward on this one is what led to them cancelling that studio space, something which could have led to Collider mistakenly posting a report claiming that all of these movies had been scrapped. Time will tell on that front but it's hard to imagine what the studio was thinking when they decided that a story about Mos Eisley would be an interesting idea.
