If you’re a fan of Marvel’s What If…? animated series, here’s a new Star Wars rumor that you might find interesting. According to scooper Daniel Richtman, Lucasfilm is developing its own What If…? inspired Star Wars series.
There aren’t really any details to share and it’s not specified if this is going to be animated or live-action, but I assume it will be animated as it will be easier for casting and also easier to explore some of the wild “what if…” ideas that the creative team comes up with.
I think a show like this would be awesome! There are so many crazy ideas that they could play with in the Star Wars universe, and it could be a ton of fun!
What If…? director and executive producer Bryan Andrews revealed that he wanted to do a Star Wars and Marvel crossover, but Marvel Studios turned down that request. He said:
“I think Kevin [Feige] really doesn’t want to cross certain streams. But we did pitch… We actually had a Star Wars/Marvel crossover.
“So I think it’s absolutely doable. I just don’t know if [Feige] wants to cross those streams, but it’s really funny. Once you get to the realization of why, you go:’Oh, that… oh, right!’ It totally makes sense. It won’t rain on anyone’s parade. But it was just a love letter to old-school Star Wars. And it was great. And I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to do it. But we have thought about that stuff.”
What do you think about the possibility of Lucasfilm developing its own What If…? Star Wars series? What are some of your ideas for any What If…? stories set in the galaxy far, far, away?
