Speaking withCinemaBlend , Lamont briefly discussed oeuvre he was doing on anotherStar Warsspinoff , one that would take place ( at least part ) on Tatooine , the famous desert planet that was home to both Anakin and Luke Skywalker :

We were just starting our study on another Star Wars spinoff and yeah . We were in reality just making our mark on Tatooine – which would have been interesting and some other new galaxies . So hopefully , if that comes back , we ’ll get the chance to be able to do that further .

Obviously , Lamont could n’t reveal any real juicy story item , so fans will have to deliberate amongst themselves what movie he ’s talking about here . It ’s potential he ’s referring to the aforementioned Mos Eisley pic , but there are a phone number of other candidate . Lamont ’s mentioning of"some other raw galaxies"makes it sound like this would have been a major planet - hopping adventure , perhaps one featuring Boba and other bounty huntsman . Thelong - speculate Obi - Wan movie , of course , would necessitate view on Tatooine , as would a likely sequel toSolo . As some may recall , Ron Howard ’s celluloid ended with Han and Chewbacca en route to touch with Jabba the Hutt about a gravid scotch . GivenSolo’sbox office , it ’s unlikely to get a follow-up , but starAlden Ehrenreich did sign a three - picture flock , so Lucasfilm could have been tossing around ideas .

It ’ll be interesting to see if this mysterious Tatooine movie finally sees the ignitor of day . AfterEpisode IX , Lucasfilm has Rian Johnson ’s newfangled trilogy and David Benioff & D.B. Weiss ' series in the grapevine , but it stay on unknown if they will tell other stories contiguous to the Skywalker saga . Moving beyond the foundation of the original trilogy and unfeignedly quest for new view read as the smartest way forStar Warsto stay on to thrive over the next decennium , but audiences would be interested in catch some old favorites return . Ideally , by the time Celebration 2019 ramble around , fans will have a better idea of what Lucasfilm has in entrepot .
