Rumors are swirling that Lucasfilm has back-burnered plans for future standalone films and is focusing on Episode IX and Rian Johnson’s trilogy. This comes after the disappointing box office of Solo: A Star Wars Story last month. Collider has the exclusive report.
No official statement has been issued.
Update: Lucasfilm has issued a statement via ABCNews that multiple films are still in the pipeline and stating that reports of standalone films being put on hold are “inaccurate”.
For those looking to bolster their reference library, Amazon currently has the new Solo: A Star Wars Story Official Guide on sale for $12.59 (reg. $21.99). A savings of over 40%.
Thanks to STRUX_88 on Twitter for the heads-up.
It looks like Disney’s latest Star Wars film isn’t meeting their expectations at the box office so far. Will that change? Are you planning on seeing it? Or seeing it again if you already had one showing? Share your thoughts!
Personal Note: I liked the movie quite a bit. It wasn’t epic in my opinion, but it was a worthwhile addition to the franchise. I think it’s worth seeing on the big screen as it’s a lot of fun. I know some are boycotting this movie due to their feelings about The Last Jedi, but one also has to factor in “Star Wars fatigue” right now with a second film in just 6 months… and I can say that there are a lot of people that I know that weren’t even aware this movie was being made (which surprised me – that might be something to think about too).
Solo: A Star Wars Story opens officially tonight in the U.S. We hope those of you that still like the modern Star Wars films and enjoy them through all of their facets have an excellent time.
