För ett antal år sedan lanserade Lucasfilm flera olika Star Wars-projekt, inklusive två distinkta, separata filmtrilogier från Game of Thrones-skaparna David Benioff och D.B. Weiss respektive Rian Johnson.
Inga av dessa har dock förverkligats, men jämfört med det sistnämnda projektet var de två faktiskt ganska långt framme i utvecklingen av åtminstone den första filmen. I en intervju hos ComicBook säger de:
"I think we got relatively far, storywise, with the first one. We had a basic roadmap to the other two, and it was a shame. The truth is our Hollywood ratio, or batting average, of things conceived to things actually finished, has never been tremendously high, and there's always going to be ones that get away for various reasons. The ones that were never meant to be. And it was sad that was one of them for us. But as time goes on, you just kind of need to let go of those kinds of things because if you don't, you'll drive yourself completely crazy."
De har tidigare avslöjat att den preliminära titeln för den första filmen var The First Jedi, vilken skulle ha berättat historien om Jedi-ordens ursprung och hur den första ljussabeln skapades. De fortsätte:
"[Lucasfilm] ended up not wanting to do a First Jedi story. We had a very specific story idea in mind, and ultimately they decided they didn't want to do that. And we totally get it. It's their company and their IP, but we weren't the droids they were looking for."
Låter detta som ett intressant koncept, tycker du?
Många Star Wars-fans verkar glada över att Rian Johnsons projekt aldrig blev av, medan David Benioff och D.B. Weiss projekt sörjs desto mer.
