Star Wars scrapped movie pivots to new sci-fi project
A planned Star Wars movie written by Simon Farnaby and Paul King has been canceled after Disney/Lucasfilm deemed the robot-centered concept unsuitable for the franchise; Farnaby says the idea is being reworked into a sci-fi project outside Star Wars, as the studio navigates a turbulent period with weak box office for The Mandalorian and Grogu and leadership changes; Lucasfilm’s near-term focus shifts to Ahsoka season 2 and Shawn Levy’s Starfighter.
