No more Star Wars movies lmao

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.
