>reporter Jeff Sneider broke the news via his newsletter that David Fincher, the iconic director behind Seven, The Social Network, and Fight Club, was also working not that long ago on a movie for Lucasfilm.>Sneider didn’t reveal many details, other than the story would have been set after the events of The Rise of Skywalker and was focused on a character from that movie, though we don’t know which one. The project would have been his idea, but negotiations fell through as the director asked for final cut, something that Lucasfilm was not willing to concede. It’s unclear how far along the development process the movie was, though. >Sneider also asked his source about the timing of the Hunt for Ben Solo reveal, and whether he could be “setting the stage for his return”. He wrote: “I was assured that there are no plans for him to return to the Star Wars franchise, especially with Kennedy expected to step down from her post early next year.”https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2025/10/david-fincher-was-also-developing-a-star-wars-movie-post-rise-of-skywalker-that-ultimately-fell-through.html
>>215430737No way they would allow fincher to direct itThat guy was literally neighbors with Lucas and worked on return of the jedi
>>215430737I hope this turd stays in production hell for 10 more years
>>215430737>focused on a character from that movieYeah so many good choices
david fincher is a hack
Disney's mismanagement of this IP is legendary. They went from wanting to shit out a movie every year in hopes of making Marvel money to no new movies for six years and dumping out 90% awful TV shows to be a loss leader for Disney+ because their refusal to take any risks ruined the ST. And now they can't afford to take any risks because another bad movie will kill the franchise.Can't wait for Mandalorian and Grogu to plop like the fatty turd that it is
>>215430737>Jewish pedophile rats ruin and destroy Hollywood>Jew buys up another franchise, puts a jew in charge who predictably destroys it>I know, we can save this by putting yet another pedophile kike in charge of the franchiseRemember every time you pirate a movie, you are being antisemitic.
>>215430737I don't understand what benefits there could have been in keeping final cut at the cost of losing Fincher. Idk how such risk aversion is remotely smart for them right now since Star Wars really needs more 'prestige' again, or did Ryan Johnson permanently traumatize them
>>215430737>especially with Kennedy expected to step down from her post early next year.I've heard that every year since TLJ.
>>215431414The Last Jedi is fundamentally a betrayal of everything Star Wars as a franchise stands for. Of course it broke the fandom and destroyed the IP.
>>215431414Guys like Johnson, Soderbergh, Fincher, Gilroy are awful fucking fits for Star Wars. Prestige? Just who are you trying to win over here?
>>215431937TLJ is woke shit but TFA ruined the franchise by taking the setting back to rebels vs. empire again. There was nowhere to go after that
>>215431131CORRECT
>>215432311It could've gone ANYWHERE after TFA. But somehow the not-empire is winning again in TLJ and losing a whole planet, a superweapon and like a billion soldiers and employees meant nothing
>>215432427>It could've gone ANYWHERE after TFAAnother retard heard from
