Director Guillermo del Toro shares what he learned while developing his Star Wars movie, which would have followed Jabba the Hutt.
The Big Picture The galaxy far, far away has had plenty of filmmakers involved in the creation of its mythology, but it almost saw Guillermo Del Toro at the front of a Star Wars movie. While Lucasfilm never placed the project into motion, the filmmaker was excited to explore a very special corner of the universe created by George Lucas.
"We had the rise and fall of Jabba the Hutt, so I was super happy. We were doing a lot of stuff, and then it’s not my property, it’s not my money, and then it’s one of those 30 screenplays that goes away. Sometimes I'm bitter, sometimes I'm not. I always turn to my team and say, “Good practice, guys. Good practice. We designed a great world. We designed great stuff. We learned.” You can never be ungrateful with life.
While Del Toro seemed very excited about the prospect of getting to play in the Star Wars sandbox, the film didn’t move forward with its development. Negotiations happened during the time when the studio was hopeful about expanding the franchise with spinoffs made for theatrical release. The only ones that became a reality were Rogue One, which showed the story of how the Rebel Alliance stole the Death Star plans, and Solo, the famous smuggler’s origin story starring Alden Ehrenreich.
The director didn’t get to explain how one of the galaxy’s most famous warlords fell from his position of power, as he moved on towards working on stories such as The Shape of Water. The romantic tale about a creature from the depths falling in love with Elisa Esposito went on to earn thirteen Academy Awards nominations, taking home four prizes, including Best Director and Best Picture.
‘Star Wars’ Moves Towards Television While Rogue One managed to take in more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, Solo wasn’t so lucky, leaving plenty to be desired out of its performance when it was released in 2018. The money loss by Han Solo’ origin story made Disney cancel the rest of the spinoffs it had planned for theatrical release. As an alternative, the company focused on creating television series based on the franchise, including The Mandalorian and Andor.
