"I love that world and I love the notion of exploring new people and new places in that universe. But that's sort of all that can be said for now."
―Kevin Feige on his Star Wars film[3]

A stand-alone Star Wars film was being developed by Lucasfilm, with Kathleen Kennedy and Kevin Feige serving as its producers and Michael Waldron as screenwriter. The movie was first confirmed by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn on September 25, 2019. By 2023, the film had been canceled.

Development

"We're finally into it in earnest. I mean, I'm writing away. It's a lot of fun. I'm enjoying having the freedom on that to do something that's not necessarily a sequel or anything. It maybe has a little bit less of a — it just doesn't have a bunch of TV shows and movies that you're servicing on top of it, the way I did with 'Doctor Strange.' So it's nice. It feels like a different exercise."
―Michael Waldron on writing the film[4]
