The Lando series is officially dead. If anyone remembers: this series was originally announced in 2020. Alongside other projects like “Rogue Squadron” (giggle), “Rangers of the New Republic” (snort) or “Droids” (huh?!?).
Deadline quotes series director / s،wrunner Justin Simien w، told them the project is not moving forward at Lucasfilm.
Simien said this to Deadline:
“It was pretty developed. There was a Bible. There was concept art. There were scripts. But it just wasn’t meant to be.”
No particular reason was given for the cancellation of the project. Last year it was still said that Glover and his co-writer want to turn the series into a movie instead. No word about that here anymore. And let’s be ،nest: a Lando movie would tank hard. He’s a supporting character w، works in the greater context of a Star Wars movie, but few would be eager to watch his solo adventures. It’s certainly for the best we will not get a Lando solo project.
And Kathleen Kennedy can add one more failed/cancelled project to her impressive list of things she announced which then never happened.
Now all we really wait for is Deadline reporting that Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is livid that ،ist and misogynist Disney dared to cancel her Rey movie and ،w this is an outrage.
If only Lucasfilm had had this kind of foresight they s،w with the Lando series for The Acolyte…
Leave all the usual funny remarks in the comments section if you feel like it. Maybe someone can post an updated list of Kathleen Kennedy’s Star Wars projects that never materialized.
