Lucasfilm Explores Star Wars Horror in New Genre Experiment

Tony Gilroy confirms development of a Star Wars horror project, with its format still undecided, signaling a bold new direction for the franchise.

Lucasfilm is actively working on a Star Wars horror project, as confirmed by Andor creator Tony Gilroy in recent comments.
The project’s format—whether a movie or a Disney+ series—remains unclear, adding intrigue to its development.
This marks a continuation of Lucasfilm’s genre experimentation, following the mature tones of Rogue One and Andor.
The concept builds on earlier interest in Star Wars horror from creators like Mike Flanagan, who proposed a similar idea in 2021.
Fan reactions are mixed, with some welcoming the innovation and others concerned about deviating from the franchise’s traditional tone.
