Part 2/8:
Just weeks before Star Wars Celebration — a major event eagerly anticipated by fans — Disney faced yet another disappointing chapter. Announcements regarding upcoming movies that once seemed promising have suddenly fallen apart. The most notable setback involves Damon Lindelof, initially attached to a secret Star Wars project. Reports surfaced that Lindelof was unexpectedly no longer involved, leaving the project in limbo.
The studio quickly replaced Lindelof with Steven Knight, tasked with salvaging the troubled project. However, the rapid turnover underscores a broader pattern of instability within Lucasfilm’s cinematic division. The question remains: how long will these projects even stay alive? It’s a cycle of quick fixes and half-formed ideas with little substance behind them.
