For a long time, it was believed that LucasFilm shelved director Kevin Feige’s very ownStar Warsmovie. However, it has been recently confirmed by Lucasfilm President, Kathleen Kennedy, that no such project was ever in development.
Several social media outlets claimed that the President of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, has been secretly working on hisStar Warsmovie. This created a lot of hype as fans really wanted to see Feige’s version of the franchise but now Kennedy’s statement felt like a buzzkill. There’s also some good news forStar Warsfans. It was announced during the Star Wars Celebration 2023 that several Star Wars projects are currently in development, including three newStar Warsmovies.
Kevin Feige never made a Star Wars film
Multiple sources claimed that the President of Marvel Studios,Kevin Feige, created his ownStar Warsmovie but it was scrapped by LucasFilm. However, Lucasfilm’s President, Kathleen Kennedy, revealed that Feige never made anything,
“Kevin Feige’s project was something announced in the press, or I suppose, fandom. But, there was nothing… Nothing ever got developed.We never discussed an idea.As everybody knows Kevin, is a huge Star Wars fan. If he did come up with something, I would be all ears. But, that’s never really happened. So, it’s not an abandoned project. It just never really happened.”
The announcement was quite disappointing but Kennedy has claimed that the studios would love to work with Feige in the future. With Disney acquiring Lucasfilm, fans can expect something from Feige in the future.

Screenwriter Michael Waldron claimed something else
Screenwriter Michael Waldron has worked on several projects with Feige, includingLokiseason 1 andDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In 2022, the screenwriter explained that Eric Martin has taken over for him as head writer ofLoki‘s season 2. He was then asked what was the reason behind the replacement and his words caught everyone’s attention,
“Obviously, I’m kind of busy, off writing this little Star Wars movie as well.”
But now, Kathleen Kennedy’s statement completely contradicts what Waldron said in 2022. Even if it isn’t confirmed as of now, it may be possible in the future to see aStar Warsmovie made by Kevin Feige and written by Michael Waldron.
