If you feel like you are going around with Star Wars, you know that a new pretty crazy project would be in the whistle. And this can surprise.
The Star Wars universe is not surprising. After the cult saga has researched many genres over the years, he was able to venture into a site that is completely unprecedented: that of horror. In any case, Tony Gilroy, the creator of the series, suggests this Andor. The screenwriter and the director invited to an event in London in season 2 of his show and have collected information that does not remain unnoticed.
The desire to explore new genres for Star Wars
Since his beginnings to Andor, Tony Gilroy has often expressed his wish to get the Star Wars universe out of his habits. For him, this rich and huge galaxy deserves to open up other narrative styles. In the past of his dream of a day, he had also mentioned a Star Wars project in a completely unusual genre: a comedy, a judicial drama … or a horror film. And today it seems that this last idea takes shape.
Recently asked about this topic, Gilroy simply said: “You do it. I think it's going.” He does not seem to be involved directly in this project. But his words confirm that Lucasfilm would actively think about developing a series or a horror -oriented Star Wars film. An idea that has a little too intrigue fans on paper. The Star Wars universe is indeed full of creatures, enemy planets and dark areas that could be perfect for a depressing atmosphere.
An still vague but promising project
So often with Lucasfilm has been officially officially confirmed. We do not know whether it is a series for Disney+ or a more confidential Star Wars project. But this wish to explore other genres proves one thing: The success of series such as Andor or the Mandalorian has made it possible to release creativity a little more in the saga. The projects are becoming more diverse. More daring. And the door now seems to be open to original experiences, far from the classic codes of the saga.
If this project is really born, the license could offer a touch of fresh air. Star Wars has already flirted with horror in certain comics or video games, but never really on the screen. A terrible series would research new atmospheres, new types of characters and still enrich an immense universe. It remains to be seen on an official confirmation from Lucasfilm. One thing is certain: the future of Star Wars promises, more surprising than ever.
