This revelation suggests that Lucasfilm is exploring the darker aspects of the Star Wars universe in a way that has yet to be fully realized on screen. The project could take various forms, such as a TV series, a movie, or another innovative format. While details remain scarce, including who is leading the creative direction, Gilroy's comments indicate that Disney is open to pushing the boundaries of the franchise.
"The right creator, and the right moment, and the right vibe … you can do anything," Gilroy remarked, reflecting on his experience with Andor. He expressed hope that the success of Andor could pave the way for other innovative projects within the Star Wars universe, passing on the creative momentum.
The idea of a Star Wars horror movie has long been a dream for fans, including actor Mark Hamill. Despite the franchise's extensive exploration of the Skywalker saga and its numerous side characters, there remains ample opportunity to delve into the darker, unexplored corners of the galaxy. While some spinoffs have touched on scarier themes, major projects typically cater to a broad, family-friendly audience.
