Last year saw Rogue One become the first Star Wars spin-off, with Young Han Solo slated for Summer 2018.
While the subject of the 2020 Anthology movie is yet to be announced – some are hopeful it’s about Obi-Wan Kenobi – Lucasfilm aren’t stopping there.
Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro has revealed he’s been in talks with Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy about directing an upcoming Star Wars movie.
During an interview with Collider, he said: “I will say there’s some characters that are great, and I have talked to Kathleen Kennedy and John Knoll about ideas.”
But what ideas could del Toro have run by exactly?
While he wouldn’t say anymore in this interview, he did express his favourite idea back in 2015.
According to Slash Film, he said: “I would do the sort of Godfather saga that Jabba the Hutt had to go through to gain control.
“One, because it’s the character that looks the most like me, and I like him.”
The director added: “I love the idea of a Hutt type of mafia, a very complex coup, you know? … I just love the character.”
Jabba was over 600 years old when he was killed by Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi, so there’s a huge scope for when the movie could be set.
