A new rumor suggests that Lucasfilm plans to announce a series of star-studded short films at April’s Star Wars Celebration.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story was the first time Lucasfilm used deppfake technology to make characters look like they did in the original trilogy. The late Peter Cushing was resurrected as Grand Moff Tarkin. While Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia was also restored to her appearance from A New Hope. Lucasfilm later tried to change the cast when Alden Ehrenreich was cast to replace Harrison Ford in Solo: A Star Wars Story. The film did not have the expected reception, and its failure at the box office made Lucasfilm rethink producing more films of the franchise for theaters.

Han Solo, Luke and Leia protagonists of new shorts

Now, a rumor claims that, in April’s Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm will announce a new series of Disney+ shorts featuring Han, Luke, and Leia. as protagonists!.This raises many interesting questions. Like if Ford and Hamill will ever reprise their respective roles (the latter seems more likely than the former) and how Leia’s return after Fisher’s death would be handled. The technology is there to bring Leia back, but whether it should be used is another question entirely. Still, this announcement could give Ehrenreich a new lease on life as Han, though these shorts could also come in animated form. this rumor is Shaun O’Rourke, a “multi-talented professional with more than 20 years of experience in the film industry”. He has worked with renowned companies such as HBO, CBS, Warner Bros., Disney, Lionsgate, Blumhouse, Amazon Studios, Hulu, and Netflix, so we cannot completely rule out these claims. If so, these short films could explore stories from time gone by. from Return of the Jedi to The Force Awakens. Or even fill in the blanks between movies in the original trilogy. Be that as it may, it will be interesting to discover what they offer us. You can find a lot of exclusive Star Wars content on Disney +.
