Damon Lindelof is working on a<\/span> Star Wars <\/em>movie and now it has a director. Deadline reports that Lindelof, best known for his work on Lost, The Leftovers <\/em>and watchmen<\/em><\/span>is co-writing a script which will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, who directed two episodes of Ms. Marvel<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Lindelof is a long-time Star Wars fan and, earlier this week, rumors began circulating that he was co-writing a movie for the franchise. Now, the trade reports that<\/span>though the film is still being written, Obaid-Chinoy was hired early on so she could have input in the development. <\/p>\n

There’s no word on what the movie will be about or when it could come out but it’s not in the immediate future. io9 sources had heard that Taika Waititi’s movie, whatever that is<\/span>was likely to be next, but Deadline says \u201cthis Star Wars<\/em> The feature seems to have the most momentum out of all the films currently in development at the studio.\u201d which, yes, means, Lucasfilm is developing multiple projects for the big screen but don’t want to rush it, especially with the franchise finding new life on Disney+.<\/p>\n

Disney’s release schedule doesn’t have a Star Wars movie on it until 2025. That seems like a long time away but wit shows like The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Andor <\/em>and others coming in the next two years, it makes sense. the date gives the company time to let projects develop and then, eventually, decide which will be the next one in theaters. Patty Jenkins’ Rogue Squadron<\/em> was supposed to be the first movie post The Rise of Skywalker<\/em>but that was officially taken off the schedule earlier this year<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This news is most surprising because, in the past, Lindelof had expressed interest in Star Wars as a fan, but not as a creative force. You almost got the sense it was something he was scared to tackle. which suggests, if he’s writing a script now, it’s something he’s passionate about, and that’s exciting. <\/p>\n
