According to Tony Gilroy, the showrunner behind the acclaimed series *Andor*, Disney is reportedly developing a secret Star Wars horror project. In a conversation with Business Insider, Gilroy hinted at Lucasfilm's ongoing efforts to explore the darker side of the Star Wars universe. When asked about his interest in a more sinister project, Gilroy responded, "They're doing that. I think they're doing that. I think that's in the works, yeah."
While details about this mysterious horror project remain scarce, the potential for a Star Wars venture into uncharted horror territory has fans buzzing with anticipation. Whether it will take the form of a TV series, a movie, or another format is yet to be revealed, and there's no information on who might be leading the creative direction. Fans may have to wait years before getting a glimpse of this darker corner of the galaxy, but Gilroy's comments confirm that Disney is exploring this thrilling possibility.
Gilroy expressed optimism about the future of Star Wars storytelling, stating, "The right creator, and the right moment, and the right vibe … you can do anything." He hopes that the success of *Andor* can inspire other creators to push boundaries and bring fresh, exciting projects to the franchise. This sentiment echoes the dream of many fans, including Mark Hamill, who have long desired a no-holds-barred Star Wars horror film. Although some spinoffs have ventured into scarier territory, mainstream Star Wars projects typically cater to a broad, family-friendly audience.
