Lucasfilm Reportedly Developing Star Wars Horror Project

Tony Gilroy confirms that a horror-themed Star Wars project is in early development, though its format remains unconfirmed.

  • Tony Gilroy, creator of 'Andor,' stated that Lucasfilm is working on a Star Wars horror project, though details remain scarce.
  • It is unclear whether the project will take the form of a film or a Disney+ series, as no official announcements have been made.
  • The initiative reflects Lucasfilm's broader strategy to explore new genres, following the success of mature storytelling in projects like 'Andor.'
  • The Star Wars universe's existing dark and menacing elements, such as Sith Lords, monstrous creatures, and supernatural themes, make it well-suited for a horror narrative.
  • Fan reactions have been mixed, with some excited by the potential innovation and others concerned about diverging from the franchise's traditional tone.
