Summary
Donald Glover’s Lando CalrissianStar Warsshow for Disney Plus may be switching from its original plan and be released as a movie instead.
Starting withRogue One: a Star Wars Story, Disney began to branch out in creating newStar Warsprojects outside the main movie trilogies. However,Solo: A Star Wars Storyreceived mediocre reviewsand a lackluster box office. This may have caused Disney to switch up their plans for future projects and focus on series for their streaming service. Kenobi was initially planned to be a movie but was later developed into a Disney Plus series instead.

Disney is switching gears again and turning the upcomingLandoseries starring Donald Gloverinto a movie. Stephen Glover, who is writing for the project along with his brother, was on an episode of thePablo Torre Finds Outpodcast and mentioned the change of plans. “It’s not even a show,” Stephen Glover said. “The idea right now is to do a movie.” Glover also mentioned that, due to the strike, getting information about the project and what the studio is currently planning is challenging. “Right now because of the strike, it’s like telephone,” Stephen Glover said.
Glover couldn’t provide much more information about theLandofilm than that, although Lucasfilms did confirm toVarietythat the project is now being developed as a movie. It is unclear whether the film will be released theatrically or directly on Disney Plus. However, it will likely be a theatrical release asDisney CEO Bob Igerrecently stated that he wanted less content going straight to Disney Plus. This may have also been why the project was turned into a film.
TheLando CalrissianStar Warsproject was initially announcedin December 2020 with Justin Simien, the creator ofDear White People, attached to the project. After Simien left, the Glover brothers stepped in to work on the project. Although fans have been excited about the project, many are worried because of how long the project is taking to be developed. It is unclear if a script is finished for the movie, and with the current Hollywood strikes, the film’s development will take a while.
Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian was one of the best parts ofSolo: a Star Wars Story,so hopefully, fans will finally get to see him again.
TheStar Warssaga is available on Disney Plus.
