"Disney's Star Wars Horror Project Confirmed by Andor Showrunner"

According to Tony Gilroy, the mastermind behind the critically acclaimed *Andor* series, Disney is reportedly developing a secret Star Wars horror project. In a conversation with Business Insider, Gilroy hinted at Lucasfilm's behind-the-scenes efforts when discussing how he would approach a darker Star Wars project. "They're doing that. I think they're doing that," he remarked, suggesting that a horror-themed Star Wars project is already in the works.

While details remain scarce, this project could potentially delve into the Dark Side in a way that has never been explored on screen before. Whether it manifests as a TV series, a movie, or another format is still unknown, as is the identity of the creative lead. Fans might have to wait years for more concrete information, but Gilroy's comments indicate that Disney is considering new and bold directions for the franchise.

"The right creator, and the right moment, and the right vibe … you can do anything," Gilroy stated, reflecting on his experience with *Andor*. He hopes that the success of *Andor* will pave the way for other innovative projects within the Star Wars universe, much like how *The Mandalorian* set a precedent for *Andor*.

The concept of a Star Wars horror movie has long been a dream for many fans, including Mark Hamill. Although the franchise has occasionally ventured into darker territory with certain spinoffs, major productions typically cater to a broad audience. A horror project could offer a fresh perspective by exploring the darker corners of the Star Wars universe.
