The makeup of the Star Wars franchise has been altered so drastically over the last couple of years that it seems hard to believe that Solo only hit theaters two summers ago, with the movie’s disappointing performance causing it to end up as the lowest-grossing live-action entry in the franchise’s history.
Since then, as well as Solo’s failure ending the Anthology experiment, The Rise of Skywalker arrived to split the fanbase right down the middle, The Clone Wars was revived and then ended on Disney Plus, The Mandalorian debuted to widespread acclaim, Ewan McGregor signed on to return as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss became the latest filmmakers to join Star Wars before quickly jumping ship, Marvel Cinematic Universe alumni Kevin Feige and Taika Waititi both stepped in to develop movies and people still haven’t stopped calling for the head of Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy.
