Take a deep breath Star Wars fans. After the website Collider reported earlier this week that all A Star Wars Story anthology films are in question after the box office disappointment of the young Han Solo spinoff, Lucasfilm and Disney are firing back.
In a report that appeared on ABC News, which is also owned by Disney, Lucasfilm said there are still “multiple” Star Wars films currently in development that have not been officially announced.
The company said that the claims the spinoffs have been canceled are “inaccurate.”
These projects are separate from a planned Star Wars trilogy being written and directed by The Last Jedi filmmaker Rian Johnson and another series of movies from Game of Thrones producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
Two standalone Star Wars films were being eyed to follow Solo: A Star Wars Story, including a Boba Fett spinoff with Logan director James Mangold behind the camera, and an Obi-Wan Kenobi film helmed by Stephen Daldry.
After Solo’s disappointing box office, Collider had reported that Lucasfilm was pressing pause on any future spinoffs to focus on Star Wars: Episode IX, which will conclude the Rey (Daisy Ridley) storyline and hits theatres in December, 2019.
Solo: A Star Wars Story is the lowest grossing Star Wars-branded film since the property was relaunched in 2015 with The Force Awakens.
