Lucasfilm Was Developing a Mos Eisley Star Wars Spin-Off?

Lucasfilm has denied that they are halting development on any of the upcoming Star Wars spin-offs, which is believed to include theBoba FettandObi-Wanprojects. However, a new report claims that they were once working on a Mos Eisley spin-off movie based on the infamous spaceport featured inA New Hope. “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious,” is what Obi-Wan told Luke Skywalker about the place, and it appears that Lucasfilm was at one time considering a movie about the dangerous location.

Making Star Wars reports that theStar Warsspin-off of Mos Eisley was pretty close to getting made. The report goes on to boldly claim that Lucasfilm had gone as far as to reserve time at Pinewood Studios to work on the peculiar project. It seems that the reservation was suddenly pulled without explanation, which is probably for the best. This seems pretty fishy, so we’ll take this with a grain of salt for now. The report states.

“After speaking to a few more Pinewood sources, it sounds like there was going to be a movie or a premise along the lines of Mos Eisley Spaceport: A Star Wars Story (not an official title). Crew members of the previousStar Warsfilm said they believed the other movie was about the spaceport Luke Skywalker goes into the original film.”

It’s entirely possible that a Mos EisleyStar Warsspin-off was in development at Lucasfilm, but the real question is why? If fans are already questioning aBoba Fettmovie, what are they going to say about a spin-off based on a spaceport with a rocking cantina band? It seems like a stretch, but the report goes on to say that the film could still end up getting made later on down the line.

With all of theObi-Wanmovie reports over the last few days, it seems more than likely that this Mos EisleyStar Warsspin-off could have had something to do with the Obi-Wan project instead of being a standalone movie about the spaceport. If the rumors are true that Stephen Daldry exited the project, it makes more sense as to why the Pinewood Studios reservation was canceled. It has been previously reported that theObi-Wanmovie was going to start production as early as next spring, but if the director left, that would certainly cause a delay.

Whatever the case may be, it looks like theObi-WanandBoba Fettmovies are still on. But, it seems thatObi-Wanmay have, at the very least, hit a delay. Again, none of this has been officially announced by Lucasfilm. The only thing that they have confirmed is that the rumors of the future [Star Wars} spin-off movies getting put on hold were fake news. The Mos EisleyStar Warsspin-off seems to be the only one that won’t continue past the development stage, if this report is to be believed.
