There has been a disturbance in the force, as screenwriters Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson have exited the Star Wars project that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy remains slated to direct, Above the Line has exclusively learned.

Lindelof and Britt-Gibson turned in a draft of the script in mid-February and parted ways with the project just days later, according to sources. Lucasfilm already has a new writer on board, though ATL was unable to ascertain their identity. Production is slated to start in February 2024 ahead of the film’s planned release date on Dec. 19, 2025.

Plot details remain under wraps, but the top-secret project is going to be unveiled at Star Wars Celebration next month along with its title and a brief synopsis, though don’t expect any casting announcements just yet.

Maybe this is a chance to use real directors instead of the Burger King kids club

Star Wars is basically a dead IP at this point. The sequels were so creatively bankrupt they can’t do anything in that era. The new actors don’t want to do any more Star Wars either so they can’t continue those stories either. And Disney clearly doesn’t have the balls to bet hundreds of millions on more prequel movies. They are screwed

I saw the directors of Everything Everywhere All at Once are going to destroy their career momentum by directing episodes of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, whatever that is.

DL should be working on the next Lost or Leftovers, not piling on the destruction of Star Wars, Star Trek or Marvel. He and his ilk have done enough.

That says it all right there, wow. If they can't settle creative differences with those guys then they must want some fricked up shite.

I am guessing KK shot it down for lack of Transgenda.

Y'all are being way too hard on her.

She is a women's activist in a "holy hell, what the frick Pakistan??? Honor killings in 2023" kind of way

Almost all her movies are about that kind of stuff.

And she did a couple episodes of Ms Marvel, which all involved Pakistan. . .so that was perfect. And the episodes she directed were solid.

What kind of fricked up shite does Kathleen Kennedy know that makes her untouchable? Nearly every project Disney Star Wars undertakes has issues. She should have been ousted years ago.

Why doesn't Lucas Films make an offer to Spielberg or James Cameron?
