Disney's Star Wars Horror Project Confirmed by Andor Showrunner

In an exciting revelation, Tony Gilroy, the mastermind behind the critically acclaimed Star Wars series "Andor," has hinted at a secret Star Wars horror project currently in development at Disney. During a recent interview with Business Insider, Gilroy suggested that Disney is exploring darker themes within the Star Wars universe, a move that could potentially redefine the franchise's storytelling approach.

"They're doing that. I think they're doing that," Gilroy stated, confirming the existence of a Star Wars horror project. "I think that's in the works, yeah." While details remain scarce, this project could take the form of a TV series, a movie, or something entirely new, promising to delve into the unexplored darker corners of the Star Wars universe.

If Gilroy's comments hold true, fans might soon experience Star Wars in a way that's never been seen before, fully embracing the Dark Side. The project's creative direction and timeline are still under wraps, but Gilroy's insights suggest that Disney is open to innovative storytelling within the franchise.

"The right creator, and the right moment, and the right vibe … you can do anything," Gilroy remarked, reflecting on his experience with "Andor." He expressed hope that the success of "Andor" could pave the way for other unique projects, much like how "The Mandalorian" inspired subsequent series.

The idea of a Star Wars horror movie has long been a dream for many fans, including Mark Hamill. While the franchise has occasionally ventured into darker territory with some spinoffs, major productions typically cater to a broad audience. A horror project could offer a fresh perspective, exploring the universe's more sinister aspects.
