Patty Jenkins And Rian Johnson’s 'Star Wars' Projects On Hold Indefinitely
Following the news that the Patty Jenkins’ Star Wars project has been delayed, comes news that the reason for the delay is creative differences between the director and executives at Lucasfilm. More specifically, Jenkins and Lucasfilm Vice President Michelle Rejwan could not agree on the script. This adds to a long list of Lucasfilm projects that failed to see the light of day.
Culture SlatePublished 2 years ago in FuturismTop 5 Genres ‘Star Wars’ Could Do Next
Mike Flanagan recently stated that he would love to make a horror movie set in the Star Wars universe. That would be awesome, but you know what? It should not stop there. I would love to see a Mike Flanagan Star Wars horror film. He is a genius of his craft, and any horror film he did in the Star Wars universe would at least be interesting. However, Star Wars is quite literally a universe of possibility when it comes to genres. It could be a home for almost any genre, and there is no reason why there cannot be a new Star Wars movie every year that explores new topics, characters, stories, and, of course, genres. If we are going to get new Star Wars content every year until we die anyway, they might as well be different. These are just a few of the genres that Star Wars could house.

An unexpected surprise but not a very welcome one, the highly anticipated "Disney+ Day" did not have much in terms of new updates for Kenobi or any of its upcoming slate of Star Wars series or movies. While there was plenty of Marvel news and announcements to go around, highly anticipated shows set in a galaxy far, far, away (such as Andor, Bad Batch Season 2, and Kenobi) were not so fortunate. Personally, I can't help but be reminded of the debacle that was the release of the second trailer for the similarly anticipated Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Despite rumors swirling earlier in the month leading into the release of Marvel's Eternals, Academy award winning director Chloe Zhao was tapped to direct an untitled and unknown Star Wars project for Kevin Feige. Zhao herself stated she would like the chance to work within the franchise, going so far as to say she has reverence for the franchise. However, critical and fan displeasure for the recent Marvel movie may have shelved those plans for now.
Culture SlatePublished 2 years ago in FuturismCould 'Kenobi' Concept Art Hint At Video Game Character Movie Debut?
Star Wars fans have a lot to speculate about following the release of the concept art for the up and coming Obi-Wan Kenobi series. Some of the artwork has shown a character who looks eerily similar to a major villain from the video game Jedi: Fallen Order. Known to gamers as the Second Sister, the internet is abuzz about whether or not she could be making the transition from the world of gaming to the world of television. This would be the first instance where an original character in a game makes a transition to a role in a film or television series.

“Your overconfidence is your weakness.” — Luke Skywalker “Your faith in your friends is yours.” — The Emperor This classic exchange between Luke Skywalker and Darth Sidious in Return of the Jedi seems to be taking on new meaning with the Emperor’s return in the sequel trilogy. In the recently released tie-in book Secrets of the Sith, Sidious himself explains from his point of view how Luke’s choice to go into exile allowed for his unexpected return. The quote in question reads as follows:

The various rebel cells fighting against the Empire and, later on, the consolidated Rebel Alliance employed various spies in order to learn about the plans of their common enemy and to stop their execution if possible. Probably best known are the “many Bothans” that died to “bring us this information”. But also, Cassian Andor was a spy for the Rebels, as well as the former ISB agent Alexsandr Kallus, who later switched his alliances and delivered crucial information to the rebels under his codename; Fulcrum.

Although The Book of Boba Fett may be on everyone’s mind at the moment, Star Wars fans still look forward to Season 3 of The Mandalorian, which is due to be released sometime late next year. A huge hit for Disney+ in its first few seasons, the continuing adventures of Din Djarin, played by Pedro Pascal, are sure to bring in plenty of viewers. With even more Star Wars content on the way in 2022 and beyond, including the highly anticipated Obi-Wan Kenobi miniseries, fans are sure to remain hyped for at least a year or two.

Following the tremendous success directing Thor: Ragnarok, it really was inevitable that Taiki Waititi would be back to direct a follow-up. Currently, he is working on the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder. However, Star Wars fans received a pleasant surprise when it was announced he would be given the chance to helm a film set within the galaxy far, far away. Now, it is obvious this new film is going to be on the back burner while Waititi works on Thor, but his screenwriting partner Krysty Wilson-Cairns has given an update on the Star Wars project, which suggests more work has been completed on it than we originally thought.

BioWare made one of the greatest Star Wars video games with Knights of the Old Republic. They followed it up with the also fantastic Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. Fans longed for Knights of the Old Republic III, but after The Sith Lords, things went quiet from BioWare. Well, they did go on to make two small indie games called Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect, but things were completely silent on the Star Wars front. Then in 2011 BioWare released their follow-up to Knights of the Old Republic with an MMO aptly titled The Old Republic which, at the time, was the most expensive game ever made. Now, as the 10th anniversary of BioWare’s galactic MMO quickly approaches, BioWare commented on where the game will head to next.

Always in motion the future is, as a wise Jedi Master once said to his young Padawan on Dagobah so many films ago. With this in mind it seems that once again the future of Lucasfilm in film seems to be in motion as various films that were once scheduled for one year are being moved to another with new projects taking its place. Of course, nothing is concrete or set in stone at the moment. However, there certainly is movement behind the scenes in the walls of Lucasfilm. Things are about to get really interesting really soon.

Starkiller Base is the massive superweapon of the First Order we see in The Force Awakens. Many consider it a Death Star rip-off, and from an out of universe perspective it very much is. However, from an in-universe perspective Starkiller Base has quite an interesting backstory and history that is connected to the wider Star Wars universe, going back all the way to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, both 2002 and 2008 incarnations.
