Importance Score: 30 / 100 🔵

Star Wars Franchise May Explore Horror Genre, Hints Creator

The expansive Star Wars galaxy, already diversified into LEGO, animation, The Muppet Show, and even figure skating, might be exploring a genre it has long been aligned with: horror. According to Andor creator Tony Gilroy, in recent remarks to Business Insider, Lucasfilm and Disney are potentially developing a horror project within the Star Wars universe.

Uncertainty Surrounds Potential Star Wars Horror Venture

Gilroy offered minimal details regarding this possible Star Wars horror venture, including its format as either a film or television series. His statements lacked definitive confirmation, which might disappoint some fervent Star Wars enthusiasts. He stated, “They’re doing that. I think they’re doing that. I think that’s in the works.” This shift from a definitive statement to uncertainty suggests he may be unsure of its actual development, or perhaps he alluded to a Disney surprise prematurely.

Historical Horror Elements Within Star Wars

Regardless of its confirmed status, the iconic science-fiction franchise has consistently touched upon elements of horror throughout its near five-decade history. Consider Darth Vader’s Force choke maneuver, a terrifying display of power reminiscent of horror villains. The unseen, yet horrifying, depiction of Anakin Skywalker’s actions against young Jedi trainees also injects a chilling aspect into the saga. Furthermore, the existence of Death Troopers, a 2009 Star Wars horror novel by Joe Schreiber featuring a zombie outbreak, demonstrates the franchise’s previous forays into overt horror themes.

Fanbase Reactions to Horror Speculation

This news has likely generated excitement among Star Wars devotees eager for any content from the beloved galaxy. Conversely, it may have displeased fans who prefer to maintain the more optimistic space-opera essence of the fictional universe. Gilroy has introduced the concept, and the Star Wars community now awaits further developments to see if this potential horror direction materializes.
