New Star Wars Movie Reportedly Coming From The Director Of Sleight

A new Star Wars movie is reportedly in the works from director J.D. Dillard and Luke Cage writer Matt Owens, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It’s unclear whether this new Star Wars film will be a theatrical release or if it will debut on the Disney Plus streaming service. With Lucasfilm currently planning the next phase of Star Wars movies, executives are reportedly trying to decide which characters and stories are right for theaters and which would be better suited as a Disney+ exclusive, says THR. Dillard wrote and directed the sci-fi thriller Sleight, and while he is one half of the team developing this new Star Wars movie, it’s unclear whether he will be the one to direct it should the project move forward.
