Feige’s unnamed film and Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron cancelations indicate that Lucasfilm has found its direction going forward with Star Wars films.
Since the 2019 release of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, the future of the cinematic part of the Star Wars franchise has been in limbo, but recent information means there may be new hope going forward. Variety revealed that Lucasfilm has officially pulled two known upcoming Star Wars films from development. This indicates that Star Wars has been busy planning its cinematic future, and these two films aren’t a part of what Lucasfilm has settled on.
However, what that path forward is, is still unclear. It’s known that Damon Lindelof and Taika Waititi are still set to craft the next two Star Wars films, though specifics about the stories are unknown, as well as when in the timeline they’ll take place. These two films will be vital in setting the course for Star Wars’ cinematic future.
The shelving of two films means that Lucasfilm is considering whether or not the next movies are the best path forward in terms of getting things right. While these films may be great additions to the larger universe, it’s more important that any issues get addressed early instead of Lucasfilm putting out another Star Wars film that doesn’t do as well as projected. With the two movies being shelved, there’s also the possibility they could still be made, just not now.
