Rejoice or weep Star Wars fans, Solo: A Star Wars Story’s poor performance might have just thrown a wrench into Disney’s plans to milk the Star Wars saga like an aging Bantha. Going off of a report from a Collider source, there is word that the anthology “Star Wars Stories” will be taking a pause so that Disney can properly plan out Episode IX while also thinking about what the next trilogy of Star Wars movies will be about. This means that the already in development Obi-Wan spin-off is being paused as well as the planned Boba Fett and Lando Calrissian ones as well.
No official word has been given about this so remember this is all going off of a report but one would think that after the fans decreed they didn’t want to have Han Solo’s backstory maybe a faceless corporation listened? Nah it was probably the fact that Solo has barely recouped their shooting budget, reshoot budget, and marketing budget after fans voted with their wallets as well.
