Lucasfilm has decided to put plans for more "A Star Wars Story" spin-off movies on hold after the underperformance of "Solo".
The film directed by Ron Howard has scored USD 339.5 million worldwide till now.
Lucasfilm has decided to focus on "Episode IX" and on the next trilogy in the "Star Wars" franchise, reported Collider.
According to the sources, the previously rumoured Obi-Wan movie was in active development, but those who were working on the film are no longer involved.
It was recently reported that "Logan" filmmaker James Mangold was in early talks to write and direct the Boba Fett film.
The spin-off films had been conceived of as a way to expand "Star Wars" into its own kind of Marvel Cinematic Universe, filling in the gaps between the main narrative episodes. The ninth film, directed by JJ Abrams, is scheduled for release in December 2019.
