Star Wars Spin-off From Guillermo Del Toro is Still Unsure


Anyone who has ever been enamored by the worlds of Guillermo del Toro would know that the star director will have the vision to create a great Star Wars film. From his insane and imaginative visuals to his take on storytelling, you know that a spin-off movie would be in good hands.

Sadly, even with spin-off movies now becoming a thing in the Star Wars franchise, it may still be some ways away before the Hellboy director gets to do his own movie. In an interview with Collider, del Toro hinted that there had been talks about a possible Star Wars spin-off, but it had already stopped at that. For him, a franchise like Star Wars will have its particular voice, regardless if the movie is part of the saga or a spin-off. Given the unique voice that he has, this can actually be a hindrance to the development.

"I will not comment on this, because then somebody will say, ‘Oh, Guillermo's doing [Star Wars]!' and I look like a kook. Neil Gaiman once said that, ‘I'd love to write Doctor Strange with Guillermo' and then all of a sudden on my IMDB, I had Doctor Strange. But saying all of that as a caveat, I would say there's some characters that are great, and I have talked to Kathy Kennedy and John Knoll about ideas."

One more reason why del Toro may be non-committal of the project is that he wants to focus on animation in the meantime. Still, if he had a chance to do a Star Wars movie, del Toro's go-to subject would be Jabba the Hutt, which he had previously proposed way back in 2015.
