Dillard's now-defunct Star Wars film is one of the many announced projects for the beloved franchise that haven't materialized. Several of them, including Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron, which was announced at Disney's Investor Day presentation in 2020, have been canceled quietly by Disney. Other announced projects, such as ones from Game of Thrones show-runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, as well as the long-gestating Taika Waititi project, have stalled in development. In October, the news emerged that Disney had reportedly told Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy to stop announcing Star Wars projects, for fear of enticing fans with ideas that would never come to fruition.
But that does leave the troubling fate of Star Wars as a cinema draw, illuminated by the scrapping of Dillard's project. There are currently no theatrical Star Wars projects slated for release in the next several years.
How could Disney fudge up Star Wars this badly? How hard could it be to at least print out a few Rogue One esque movies every other holiday season? The MCU is past its prime but it still does alright with random spinoffs.
The Star Wars franchise is alive and thriving; it just may be thriving in a way that many longtime supporters will have to come around to.
Star Wars was always a franchise of Dave Filoni OCs

All they have to do is make a non dogshit trilogy with Mara Jade and all the chuds will come crawling back.

I am bored to tears of starshit but there were so good ideas floating around the EU that it's amazing they fricked it all up so bad.
Trying to fricking shoehorn in Mara Jade now is pointless, she was written out when it would have mattered and without the vaders castle arc and the tension between her and Luke why bother

After episode 8 I could not care less about "lore" or if it "makes sense". I only want to see hot women and reenactments of d-day with lasers.

Studios should go back to basics and remember that s*x sells. Make a series about a busty redhead and it doesn't matter how r-slurred your writers are, you'll still get viewership.

They should wait 25 years and then come out with a good trilogy.

Seems like not even Disney can copy the MCU formula they came up with.

Sequels aren't really his thing, he should have done a spinoff movie

Idk, man. The guy made looper and knives out. Looper was alright, but knives was so pretentious and boring I could barely make it through. Maybe he could’ve done something with Star Wars, but I have my doubts
