A situation that did not prevent”long-time friends“to work together The 3-body problem, a series for which Rian Johnson is a producer. However, David Benioff goes on to specify what went wrong with Lucasfilmand the reason for canceling the project.

Ultimately they didn’t want to do the First Jedi story. We had a very specific story idea in mind and in the end they decided they didn’t want to do it. We understand perfectly. That’s their business and intellectual property, we just weren’t the droids they were looking for.

As indicated The Hollywood journalist, their concept could still be reused by Lucasfilm. Among the recently mentioned projects is a film to be directed by James Mangold with this title Dawn of the Jedi (Dawn of the Jedi). But before this comes out, we should find out about the film in theaters The Mandalorianthen a Star Wars 10 with Daisy Ridley.
