As we know, however, the fandom doesn’t always take too kindly to innovation – we’ve seen that in howSkeleton Crewhas been treated, and the cancellation ofThe Acolyte.
Still, Marigold is hopeful.

“The Star Wars movie would be taking place 25,000 years before any known Star Wars movies takes place,” the director explained.

This means we’ll venture into unchartered waters; how very exciting.
We need to rein in our excitement though, for there’s not even a rough estimation of when the film will be released.
That said, we can hazard a guess that it’ll be several years before we’re booking cinema tickets to seeDawn of the Jedi.

In the meantime, we have the second season ofAndorand Visions Vol. 3to look forward to this year.
It’s a meagre offering, some would argue, but we’d rather the odd tasty morsel than a feast that delivers nothing of substance.
