Just when it seemed like the main Star Wars film saga would end with 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, it turns out there are more stories to tell from the intergalactic galaxy far, far away. It appears that with each entry in George Lucas' visionary series, there’s another character’s story to explore or more of an expansion of the events the original trilogy introduced us to. The future Star Wars movie plans were revealed at this year’s Star Wars Celebration, and Indiana Jones 5’s James Mangold will be helming one of them. The Logan director recently explained how his Star Wars movie came to be.
Originally back in 2018, James Mangold was going to join the Star Wars film universe with a possible Boba Fett movie. However, he shot down those rumors of the Bounty Hunter-focused project as he wanted to focus on the biographical sports drama Ford Vs. Ferrari. While a Boba Fett movie might never happen, Mangold has decided to take a step back into the Star Wars saga by telling Gizmodo that he plans on going farther back into the history of the galactic empire before Jedis even came into being.
