Rumored Jabba the Hutt project
This was one of the more outlandish rumored Wars projects. Variety reported that a Jabba the Hutt was in the works in 2017, much to everyone’s surprise. Since then we’ve heard little to nothing about the galaxy’s favorite gangster slug.

A low budget + though? This seems more realistic.
We’d love to see Alden’s Han and Joonas Suotamo’s Chewbacca back for another ride in the Falcon. Plus, we need to know what happened with Darth Maul before his final appearance in !
The of The Mandalorian is well underway, and we’ve also got many upcoming shows like The to look forward to. Whether you’re looking forward to exploring The or catching up with Ewan in the new , it’s a great time to be a
