Ever since Disney acquired Star Wars, a whole pile of projects have been announced and then cancelled. Some got pretty far into development, like Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron movie, which enjoyed a flashy announcement video. Others were just quietly smothered, like the movie trilogy Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were supposed to make before the world saw how they ended their show.
Recently, we learned that Adam Driver and Steven Soderbergh pitched a Kylo Ren sequel movie to Lucasfilm and Disney, but couldn’t overcome the fundamental problem of Ren getting knocked off in The Rise of Skywalker. Now, a new report claims another Hollywood legend almost made his mark on the franchise, only for the deal to fall apart over the question of creative control.
