‘Star Wars’ boss calls Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen reunion “incredibly emotional”

Back in 2019, Disney Plus released a show that would go on to be one of the most popular shows in the world and for some restored their faith in the Star Wars franchise. The Mandalorian took the world by storm and would pave the path for many more new Star Wars shows on Disney Plus.

Last December, Lucasfilm made a surprise announcement that they would be developing “The Acolyte,” a brand new “Star Wars” series for Disney+. Set during The High Republic, “The Acolyte” would take place within a new era, hundreds of years before The Skywalker Saga, that is central to a whole new line of novels, video games, and comic books.

So far, the Disney+ world has only really known one live-action “Star Wars” project and that is “The Mandalorian.” But Lucasfilm has quite a few new series in the works, including the upcoming “Book of Boba Fett,” which is scheduled to arrive before the end of the year.

When Lucasfilm fired “The Mandalorian” actress Gina Carano in February of this year, it caused some domino effect problems for their projects in development. Two months earlier, at the big Disney Investors Day, Lucasfilm announced a new “Star Wars” series, “Rangers of The New Republic.” And while it was never officially announced, it seemed clear that Carano’s Cara Dune character would be one of those Rangers.

After the release of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” fans seemed to be a bit polarized about the three Sequel Trilogy films. That’s putting it lightly, sure, but there are still some people out there that enjoy those movies and hope to see Rey, Finn, Poe, and the other new characters in potential new projects.

When high-profile films experience behind-the-scenes issues, you often see studios and folks involved cite other, smaller issues as the primary reason. The joke is that “scheduling conflict” is often never truly a scheduling issue.
