All Star Wars Spin-Off Movies Are on Indefinite Hold?

It appears thatSolomight’ve done more damage for Lucasfilm andDisneythan previously thought. Right before the release of the young Han Solo movie, it was revealed that James Mangold was working on aBoba Fettmovie that would have fit into theStar Warsspin-off anthologies. Additionally, the long-rumoredObi-Wan Kenobiproject was reportedly in development as well. However, now thatSolodidn’t live up to box office hopes, it appears that Lucasfilm and Disney are looking to rethink their strategy for future releases and focus onStar Wars 9for the time being.

A new report from Collider claims that a source close to Lucasfilm revealed that all of the futureA Star Wars Storyanthology films are on hold at Lucasfilm for now. All of the people who were reportedly working on theObi-Wan Kenobimovie are no longer working on the project and it is believed that all further work on the development of theBoba Fettmovie will cease as well, which will be for the second time. Josh Trank was previously attached to direct theBoba Fettmovie in 2015, but he was later released from project.

WhileSolomight not have performed as well has Lucasfilm and Disney had hoped, it still earned quite a bit at the box office. Now, 4 weeks into its theatrical run, theStar Warsmovie has earned $339.5 million.Rogue Oneon the other hand, had earned $424 million by the same point and later went on to end its theatrical run with a little over a billion dollars. For aStar Warsmovie, theSolonumbers don’t look sustainable for future budgets of the planned anthology movies, even though the numbers aren’t anything to scoff at by normal standards.

Many assume that the release date ofSolowas the deciding factor as to why the movie is doing so poorly at the box office. The film came a mere 5 months after Rian Johnson’s divisiveThe Last Jedi, and many believe that it would have been wise to push the project back to a December release date. It makes one wonder if the box office earnings would have been much different had Lucasfilm pushed the movie back after the firing of Phil Lord and Chris Miller last summer. Maybe a cameo from CyberFrog would have pushed up those box office numbers?

It’s important to note that Lucasfilm never officially announced theBoba Fettmovie or theObi-Wan Kenobiproject either, which was more than likely a safety precaution to see how wellSolowas received. While it’s believed that the futureA Star Wars Storyspin-offs are on hold, everything else is reportedly still moving forward. That includesStar Wars 9, Rian Johnson’s new trilogy, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff’s trilogy, and Jon Favreau’s live-action TV series. As for the remainder, we’ll just have to wait and see what Lucasfilm and Disney decide to do. Even without the anthology films, there’s still a lot ofStar Warsin the pipeline. This story was originally reported byCollider.
