In the same interview, Kennedy confusingly said that none of the other Star Wars movies that we have yet to get any firm updates on are “shelved,” but also that their development cycles are just taking a long time. Kevin Feige was reported to be directing a Star Wars film, but then Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy said in an IGN interview that was never happening. Weiss were also supposed to make a movie for Disney, but they left for a big Netflix deal. Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Phil Lord and Chris Miller were the original directors of Solo: A Star Wars Story before “creative differences” saw them booted from the project. Colin Treverrow and Josh Trank were both slated to direct Star Wars films, but were both eventually fired from their respective projects. Lindelof’s firing is the latest in a series of head-scratching Star Wars decisions. What the heck is Disney doing with Star Wars? In March, Lindelof wished the new team all the luck with the project.
That film is now being written by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinnoy. I think Lindelof’s style would have been a good fit for this universe, which is in dire need of a shakeup after recent rumors of corporate disorganization.Īlthough we don’t know what Lindelof’s film would have looked like, we do know that it was going to focus on Rey (Daisy Ridley) after the events of the sequel trilogy. Lindelof reiterated his love for all things Star Wars, as the original film from 1977 is apparently the first movie he remembers watching as a youngster sitting on his dad’s lap. So will I get back in line outside the club and try to get back in again. I was asked to leave the Star Wars universe. “I was in more than talks to join the Star Wars universe,” Lindelof clarified. Lindelof’s answer to this question was somewhat revealing, as the circumstances of his departure from the project have been shrouded in mystery up until this interview. While answering fan questions on a tablet, somebody asked Linfelof, “You were in talks to join the Star Wars universe, can you see yourself revisiting it in the future?” During an interview with Esquire, filmmaker Damon Lindelof ( Lost, Watchmen, Prometheus) seemingly confirmed that he was indeed fired by Disney from the Star Wars film he was once slated to write.
