‘Star Wars’ creators are currently developing "multiple" new projects that have not yet been announced.
Earlier this week, it was claimed the studio had decided to put ‘Star Wars’ spin-offs on hold in light of the underwhelming box office performance of ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’, but a source close to Lucasfilm has rubbished that suggestion.
In fact, the iconic studio is still busily working on more spin-off films, which include some ideas that have yet to be made public.
A source explained to ABC that these new projects are separate from the original ‘Star Wars’ trilogy.
‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ has been widely panned by fans and critics, but the film’s director, Ron Howard, previously admitted he viewed the project as a "creative experiment".
The acclaimed filmmaker – who took over as director of the spin-off when Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were let go of – relished the experience of making the new movie.
He shared: "I was very grateful for a lot of the ideas that had been established, so there was something that I wasn’t a party to or witness, which is this classic case of creative differences.
"But that doesn’t mean that there wasn’t a lot of good ideas. There were also new ideas that I was able to bring to the table. In some instances we’d change stuff a lot, and other instances we’d use elements of what was in place, and something we’d use a scene entirely – and they’re brilliant guys.
"For me, it was a kind of creative experiment to build on some cool creative thoughts and some fun ideas that had been launched ahead of me – and under pressure, because I did come in and there was a release date that the studio had in mind."
