Fast X and The Incredible Hulk director Louis Leterrier as soon as pitched a Star Wars sequence to Lucasfilm impressed by the basic Japanese “Lone Wolf and Cub” movie sequence lengthy earlier than The Mandalorian was made. The filmmaker revealed this bit of data throughout an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast. He stated:
“I had [a dream Star Wars project] a long time ago when I came to them and pitched, ‘We should do a Star Wars TV show conceived as a lone wolf and cub.’ They said, ‘We don’t know if it’s a great idea. We’ll get back to you with this idea.’”
It’s attention-grabbing to see how issues have modified over time. Lucasfilm has grow to be a little extra open to concepts that increase the universe, however years in the past it appeared like they simply needed to stay with tales that have been closely linked to the legacy characters.
I like what Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have been doing with The Mandalorian, however had this idea has been carried out earlier than that, I’m wondering what sort of story it might’ve informed and how followers would’ve reacted to it.
Leterrier additionally went on to say he was thinking about exploring occasions previous to 1977’s A New Hope and, doubtlessly, a Boba Fett film.
Leterrier then revealed that Fast X does have a couple of Star Wars sound results hidden within the ultimate lower of the movie. He stated: “We’re all trying, in a way, to make a Star Wars movie. Even in my last movie, Fast X, I put TIE fighter sounds in it. Just cannot help myself.”
Maybe at some point Leterrier will get the chance to play within the Star Wars sandbox, however all of the tasks that he needed to do within the house at the moment are being accomplished.
