A not very long time ago, Lucasfilm was working hard to expand the Star Wars galaxy. The studio had all sorts of spin-offs in the pipeline, most of which no one really wanted to see. A few came from filmmaker David S. Goyer, the mind behind genre hits like the Blade trilogy, Man of Steel, Foundation, and Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight saga. Goyer is no stranger to a failed prequel, having been tapped to direct X-Men Origins: Magneto before it was shelved in 2008. His partnership with Lucasfilm was equally short-lived, culminating in a “scriptment” for a Jedi Order origin story, and a script for a film Guillermo del Toro would have directed.
