The Lando sequence is formally useless. If anybody remembers: this sequence was initially introduced in 2020. Alongside different initiatives like “Rogue Squadron” (giggle), “Rangers of the New Republic” (snort) or “Droids” (huh?!?).
Deadline quotes sequence director / showrunner Justin Simien who advised them the challenge is just not transferring ahead at Lucasfilm.
Simien mentioned this to Deadline:
“It was fairly developed. There was a Bible. There was idea artwork. There have been scripts. However it simply wasn’t meant to be.”
No explicit motive was given for the cancellation of the challenge. Final 12 months it was nonetheless mentioned that Glover and his co-writer need to flip the sequence right into a film as a substitute. No phrase about that right here anymore. And let’s be trustworthy: a Lando film would tank arduous. He’s a supporting character who works within the better context of a Star Wars film, however few can be keen to observe his solo adventures. It’s definitely for one of the best we is not going to get a Lando solo challenge.
And Kathleen Kennedy can add yet another failed/cancelled challenge to her spectacular record of issues she introduced which then by no means occurred.
Now all we actually look ahead to is Deadline reporting that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is furious that sexist and misogynist Disney dared to cancel her Rey film and the way that is an outrage.
If solely Lucasfilm had had this sort of foresight they present with the Lando sequence for The Acolyte…
Go away all the standard humorous remarks within the feedback part when you really feel prefer it. Possibly somebody can submit an up to date record of Kathleen Kennedy’s Star Wars initiatives that by no means materialized.
