STAR WARS: A GAME OF THRONES-Inspired Shared Universe Rumored To Be In The Works For Disney+

We have the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but is a Star Wars Television Universe in the works on Disney+? If a new rumour is to be believed, then a Game of Thrones-inspired shared world is being plotted out.

According to a new rumour shared by LRM Online, there are plans in place at Lucasfilm to create a shared Star Wars Universe which will connect each of the Disney+ TV shows currently in the works. The Mandalorian is likely to be the starting point, of course, with Ahsoka Tano and Boba Fett receiving their own spinoffs (how Cassian Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi would tie into them is unclear).

The site explains that, "the plan is to create a universe where all the shows will be connected with a central storyline." They go on to say Game of Thrones is inspiring these plans, but "instead of making one epic Game of Thrones show, it’d be like if each family had their own show with a central storyline that spills over into the others."

Here's where things get really exciting, though! 

Apparently, all of these Star Wars TV shows will be overseen by Dave Filoni, the executive producer, writer, and director on the likes of The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, and The Mandalorian.  As for which shows will be part of this, The Mandalorian, Ahsoka Tano, Boba Fett, the Ezra Bridger/Grand Admiral Thrawn series, and a show revolving around a new character are all referenced. 

What do you guys make of these possible plans for the Disney+ Star Wars TV shows?

"create a shared Star Wars Universe"

So in other words.........just the Star Wars universe. It's already one shared universe.

@XMenGiveItToYa - You're missing the point. Yes, Star Wars is already a shared universe. But everyone doesn't interact with each other in a shared story.

They are going to have multpile shows, each having their own stories and characters, that are all also taking part in an overall story.

Currently, you have things like Clone Wars, Rebels, the new trilogy of films, the old trilogies, the novels, the comics, etc. But theh aren't all actively taking part directly in each other's stories.

Imagine if Game of Thrones had a different show for eacb of the houses. They are all taking part in one big story that is taking place, but theh all have their own show. Thats what they are planning with Star Wars.....supposedly......if you believe this article.

Just read the article, man. Its easier to understand than just guessi g off a headline.

Awesome. Sounds like a cool different way to tell a story.

Star Wars is a shared universe. Game of Thrones isn't, not yet at least?

@WakandanQueen - One prequel show does not a shared universe make

@WakandanQueen - Reading more closely, I think they mean the Disney+ plan is like if each major POV in Game of Thrones had their own show. Separate series for Jon, Daenerys, Arya, etc... with supporting cast crossing over and interacting.

@SerKurtWagner - I get what the mean but GoT is not even close as an example.

The more apt examples are the Netflix Marvel shows and the CW shows. But hey - they don't want to reference them and instead they shout out GoT.

@Vanillain - The problem isn't in the quote but how it was reported. GOT is a far more accesible reference for the broader audience than Marvel Netflix.

An EU-inspired universe would be better.

If Filoni is involved, I'm sure it's gonna be good. With the mentioned shows, I'm assuming it's gonna cover the whole gap between RotJ and TFA, so I'm wondering what the overall narrative is gonna be. I wouldn't mind if they're going with the Yuuzhan Vong (or Grysk or whatever they're called now)

Well, the “shared universe” buzzword term aside, I’m down for exploring this time period in the Star Wars universe with interconnected shows.

If by Game of Thrones you mean destroying a franchise in the last couple of seasons....

Nah, I believe in Filoni. He's already done great w/ the other series.

@sKeemAn - D&D screwed up last two seasons of GOT partly because they were in such a hurry to get do their own Star Wars films. Then they walked away from Star Wars because "schedule conflicts". Let me ask, for franchise workers like them, what exactly do you priorities higher than making your own Star Wars films.
They got kicked of Star Wars because they ruined their own reputation and credibility so completely with those two last seasons.

Game of Thrones was the pop-culture phenomenon of the decade and they actually manged in the end to drive it to the ground so hard that now everyone has first and foremost negative association with the show.

That's such a weird title and it isn't even what the article says.

However, give me Knights of the Old Republic already.
