It may be a while before we see any more movies like Solo: A Star Wars Story out of Lucasfilm. Sources with knowledge of the situation tell Collider that Lucasfilm has decided to put plans for more A Star Wars Story spinoff movies on hold, instead opting to focus their attention on Star Wars: Episode IX and what the next trilogy of Star Wars films will be after that film. Sources tell us that the previously rumored Obi-Wan movie was in active development, but those who were working on the film are no longer involved. It was recently reported that Logan filmmaker James Mangold was in early talks to write and direct the Boba Fett film, but that was before Solo’s release.


Thought Solo was a decent/middle of the pack Star Wars movie, sad it didn’t do better because of TLJ. But always thought the spinoffs might have been a bridge too far.

I think it's funny they are blaming Solo and not the fact that it was released while other blockbusters were out and the TLJ backlash.

right?

I bet they are scrambling to do DC with episode IX

If they shite the bed with that one, they might have to sell the property.

SW can't afford another blow to the universe.

The only iconic character left alive in the property died IRL.

SO the treatment of the other characters comes across as a death knell in retrospect.

I am guessing episode 9 opens with Chewie and Lando waking after an all-night love making session in their new bed and breakfast on Yavin 4. Chewie is now a pacifist.

Everyone who saw Solo, seemed to enjoy it.

Some were eager for Obi. I wouldn't give a shite for a Boba Fett movie.
