This strikes me as something you announce when you want to keep your job.

I just don't understand, out of all the creative writers currently in Hollywood they could've hired, they hired SIMON KINBERG???? His last two films he wrote were "The 355" and X-Men Dark Phoenix... Both critical and financial failures. Oof

Whatever Guillermo del Toro wanted to do with Jabba the Hutt

I think we all know what GDT wanted to do with the horniest Star Wars character

I wonder with the way things are being positioned--with Mando & Grogu being the seeming finale of the "Mando-verse"; perhaps they're aiming for this trilogy to be the "End" of the Star Wars saga?

Only thing that comes to mind is due to Kinberg's involvement in writing, if Filoni is involved creatively and that this adapts the material with the Yuuzhan Vong. I could've sworn Filoni has toyed with the idea in the past in animation, but never for live action at this current period.
