Summary
Director Shawn Levy confirmed he would be working on aStar Warslong ago, and his project has finally picked up development steam by hiring the writer ofThe Adam Project. There are severalnewStar Warsmoviesin the works, but Shawn Levy’s seemed to have been put on the back burner. OtherStar Warsmovies, likeThe Mandalorian & GroguandNew Jedi Orderhave taken priority, both in terms of information Lucasfilm is willing to share and in their respective release dates.
There has, however, been a major development for Levy’sStar Warsmovie.Jeff Sneider, an entertainment industry reporter, revealed that screenwriter Jonathan Tropper had signed on to Levy’s project (viaStar Wars News Net). Tropper is a fairly prolific writer, as he’s penned the scripts for movies likeThe Adam ProjectandThis is Where I Leave You, and he’s also worked on shows likeBansheeandWarrior. Having Tropper work as a writer is a very big development for Levy’sStar Warsmovie, and it’s one of the project’s first concrete steps forward in the development process in years.

There’s No Solid Information About Shawn Levy’s Movie Yet
While hiring a writer is an extremely promising sign, there is still very little concrete information about Levy’sStar Warsfilm. Many of the other upcomingStar Warsfilms have revealed their focus or a working title, but no such details exist for Levy’s movie. The lack of information is most likely a result of Levy’s busy schedule: he’s been actively makingDeadpool & Wolverinefor years now, andLevy said hisStar Warsmovie was in a “holding pattern"because of it.Deadpool & Wolverineis set to release on July 26, though, which could be a sign that more developments are imminent.

Levy and Tropper’s past work is a great sign for theirStar Warsmovie’s quality, but it unfortunately doesn’t give a great idea of what their movie could be about. Levy and Tropper have worked in all areas of fiction in the past, which means they could tackle any type of storyStar Warswants them to tell, from any moment in theStar Warstimeline. The franchise is also branching out from the Skywalker saga, which means it will feature even more varied stories in the future. It seems only an official announcement will be able to reveal more about Shawn Levy’sStar Warsmovie.
