NEWS: Obi Wan & Boba Fett spin offs put on hold
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.

I knew Solos disastrous box office would impact the other movies (bar IX). maybe ObiWan might still happen in a couple of years? (to complete the 'SW Story' trilogy) as fans/general audiences seem pretty interested in the idea of Ewan coming back to SW, (plus itd have elements of force/jedi/lightsabres etc maybe even a Maul rematch) but Boba is dead for sure (too similar/too soon after Solo even though the Logan dude was directing - so get him to do ObiWan instead) same goes for any other spin off Yoda or whatever as they wont take any more chances now. but imagine the GoT dudes will probably do something like a Knights of the Old Republic prequel trilogy which those guys would seem quite suited to and fans seem to like the idea of (SW going full medieval fantasy)..as opposed to Rians SW:TNG trilogy which will be quietly forgotten..(seemed a dubious proposition months ago anyway in light of TLJ backlash) share
