If Not For Disney, Guillermo del Toro Would've Made Star Wars Movie About Jabba the Hutt

Star Wars movie from Guillermo del Toro? It sounds like a dream for many fans of the legendary director's work. However, the most interesting thing is that such a project was very much possible and quite close to being realized.

During a recent conversation with Collider's journalist Steven Weintraub, Guillermo del Toro confirmed that several years ago, he was actively working on a movie dedicated to the iconic Jabba the Hutt. He was to be accompanied on this unforgettable journey to a galaxy far, far away by screenwriter David S. Goyer, who first announced this news last month on Josh Horowitz's Happy, Sad, Confused podcast.

Unfortunately, most likely due to the poor reception of the Han Solo movie, Disney has decided to cancel many planned projects from the Star Wars universe, including Guillermo del Toro's project. The filmmaker confessed, however, that he feels no regrets about this, because he sees it as a valuable life lesson.

And although the director was not given the opportunity to complete the movie about the famous villain, his output did not become poorer because of it. Recall that in 2017 del Toro received two Academy Awards for The Shape of Water (for best movie and best director). In turn, at this year's Academy Awards ceremony, stop-motion animation Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio received the statuette for best animated feature-length movie.
