Ever since Solo's "disappointing" box office return (only for a studio accustomed to billion dollar returns is nearly $400 million in global ticket sales disappointing), there have been reports Disney was reassessing its plans for more Star Wars movies. But if you were worried about the future of the galaxy far, far away, Disney's CEO says there's no intention of stopping production, but we probably shouldn't expect a new film every year from now on.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Disney CEO Bob Iger was asked about calls to stop releasing a new Star Wars movie every year, after Solo failed to live up the expectations of the previous three films in the franchise (The Force Awakens - 2015, Rogue One - 2016, The Last Jedi - 2017).
"I made the timing decision, and as I look back, I think the mistake that I made — I take the blame — was a little too much, too fast. You can expect some slowdown, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make films. ....But I think we're going to be a little bit more careful about volume and timing."These comments don't come as a total shock. Even with both The Last Jedi's Rian Johnson and Game of Thrones co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss developing all new Star Wars film trilogies, it was only this past June when we reported Disney was considering putting all standalone films on hold. That included a rumored Obi-Wan film, a Boba Fett movie, and any sequels to Solo.
