Having sizeable success with not only the second film in the MCU The Incredible Hulk but an entry in the mega successful Fast and Furious franchise, Louis Leterrier is certainly a player in the movie directing world, and he used that standing to pitch an idea to Lucasfilm a few years ago that ultimately came to life in a significantly different way.
“Any person who is, man, woman, whatever, French, American, Asian in their 40s or 50s who says they are making movies for any reason than trying to make a ‘Star Wars’ movie is lying. We all are trying, in a way, to make a ‘Star Wars’ movie.”
“Yeah, I had [an idea] a long time ago when I came to them and pitched. I pitched, ‘We should do a ‘Star Wars’ TV show conceived as a ‘Lone Wolf And Cub”, and they said, ‘Nah, we don’t know if it’s a great idea.'”
“I wanted to do the missing part of, basically, before ‘New Hope’ where Obi-Wan takes Luke, I wanted to do that, but I was also very interested in the Boba Fett movie.”
“It’s all good, it’s all part of the thing and frankly, I had this idea because it was a low-hanging fruit, I think it was so obvious, the characters are so iconic. Didn’t go the way I wanted.”
