If this project comes to fruition, it could offer fans a unique exploration of the Dark Side, something unprecedented in the Star Wars franchise. While details remain under wraps, it's unclear whether this will be a series, a movie, or another form of media, and who will be at the helm creatively. Fans may have to wait years for more information, but Gilroy's remarks indicate that Disney is exploring new creative avenues.
"The right creator, and the right moment, and the right vibe … you can do anything," Gilroy noted, reflecting on his experience with Andor. "So, my hope is that the show connects, and then we can pass along the favor that we were given from 'Mandalorian,' and we can pass along a good healthy backwind to someone else who wants to do something else cool."
The idea of a full-fledged Star Wars horror movie has long been a dream for many fans, including Star Wars icon Mark Hamill. While the franchise has traditionally catered to a broad audience, the vast universe offers ample opportunity to delve into its darker corners. Some spinoffs have already experimented with scarier themes, but major productions typically remain family-friendly.
