The spin offs are indefinitely put on hold not cancelled. There is a difference.

I still don't buy the "focus on IX" reasoning. We are talking about a major film studio saying "we can only focus on one film right now". Other successful studios can juggle more the 1 ball. Not to mention If they are not part of creating IX (Director, writer and editor) what can anybody else at Lucasfilm really contribute to making IX?

Lots of smoke and distraction here.

@Pitydafool - likely means that they will focus on projects connected to 7-9, instead of doing spin-offs based on OT. All sequel spin-offs by Rian Johnson and other directors are green-lit. All prequels connected to the OT like Kenobi and Bobba Fett are postponed. If true, I agree with their decision and they should bury all prequels and focus on spin-offs based on the current continuation just like the MCU.

@Pitydafool - It's "what you say". We all know they're just worried that their original plan isn't going to work like they hoped, and they know we know. But they can't very well come out and say "Solo tanked, so we're going to take some time to lick our wounds".

@mastakilla39 - I'm worried about RJ's trilogy for many reason one of them being is less then a month ago his producer said he was still trying to create a character as good as Luke Skywalker. So, his idea is still at an infantile stage and has a 3 movie deal green lit

Good this is exactly what Star Wars needs, I honestly don't know what compelled them to use their A Star Wars Story banner to tell stories about major elements that were explored elsewhere.

Solo was an origin story that no one was asking for, about a character whose growth we had majorly seen and whose uncertain past was instrumental to his allure. An Obi Wan film is the worst idea, outside of Anakin / Luke he's arguably the main character of the saga and has been in 7 films and 3 animated shows with every part of his story pretty much being told. Yoda doesn't and shouldn't lend himself to be the main character in a solo film, making him physically pro-active taking part in lightsaber duels in the prequels was bad enough.

The whole banner was supposed to be for palate cleansing, standalone, unique stories. So I for one am glad that they're dropping these planned ones, except from Rian Johnson and Benioff & Weiss' trilogies.

Let's close off the Skywalker saga with Episode IX and then actually build up and expand this universe.

@FromACertainPOV - a young yoda movie would have been insane and yes that should have been made.

Neither Fett or Obi Wan were cancelled. They were just put on hold.

@sickboy76 - James Mangold was conformed to be writing and directing a Boba Fett movie but this has been put on hold while Lucasfilm sort their sh*t out.

sickboy76 - 6/21/2018, 2:46 PM

Rian Johnson's trilogy will be about the mysterious origins of the hacker/thief DJ's stutter.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - I'm pretty sure that wasn't Rian's direction. It's Benicio Del Toro and I'm positive that was ALL him.

That guy's been making strange voice choices since day one, I know everyone brings up the line-up scene in The Usual Suspects but even in Licence to Kill which was his second film, he's doing stuff like that.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - And to really subvert expectations it will take place in Long Beach during the 70's.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - The Rian Johnson trilogy is really the ONLY thing that needs to DIE! He screwed up The Last Jedi, and in turn, nobody went to see Solo because of that. Great job Rian, do you want to make a trilogy for Lucasfilm? Dumba$$e$
