A side effect of Lucasfilm commissioning so many Star Wars projects is that there are now a whole lot of canceled Star Wars projects. Six years ago, the company announced a Rogue Squadron movie directed by Patty Jenkins, only for the project to be shoved to the back burner. Rangers of the New Republic was supposed to be a spinoff of The Mandalorian, but that fell apart, too. At one point, the showrunners of Game of Thrones were developing an entire trilogy, but that was also shelved after the Thrones finale underwhelmed viewers.
Maybe it’s for the best that some of these projects were canceled, but it’s always fascinating to know what could have happened. Now, we finally have some details from one of the most anticipated Star Wars movies that wasn’t meant to be: the one from Lost co-creator and Watchmen showrunner Damon Lindelof.
