Lucasfilm Reportedly Eyes David Lowery for a New Star Wars Movies

by

Lucasfilm is eagerly exploring fresh avenues for the Star Wars universe as they work on numerous upcoming movies. In April 2023, it was revealed that three films are being developed, each taking place during distinct periods of the saga’s timeline. Dave Filoni, James Mangold, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will helm these productions, contributing to the franchise’s expansion in captivating new ways.

Currently, Jon Favreau is slated to direct “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” expected to premiere in May 2026. Additionally, other exciting projects from creators such as Rian Johnson are underway, promising an action-packed future for the Star Wars universe.

Given the infrequent updates about these projects, it can be challenging to determine their current progress accurately. The New Jedi Order, which is undergoing revisions and staff changes, seems to encounter delays and difficulties. Additionally, some films that were initially announced are shrouded in uncertainty, leading us to ponder whether they’re still being developed at all.

According to sources close to the field, Daniel Richtman has shared news that Lucasfilm might be considering David Lowery for the director role in an upcoming “Star Wars” movie. At this point, specifics about the project are scarce, and it seems that Lucasfilm is merely exploring options, without any formal commitments yet made.

David Lowery previously worked on the ‘Star Wars’ universe, directing two episodes for the upcoming series titled ‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew‘.

He has earned recognition for seamlessly combining independent and high-budget movie production. Lowery is the director behind “Pete’s Dragon” (2016) and “The Green Knight” (2021), both applauded for their innovative narratives. Additionally, he produced “A Ghost Story” (2017) and Disney’s “Peter Pan & Wendy” (2023), demonstrating his talent for creating films that are both emotionally resonant and visually captivating.
