Just shy of a month since we heard that filmmaker Jon Watts had decided to exit Marvel’s ‘Fantastic Four’ feature film project, the news has come out that the most recent Spider-Man trilogy helmer has felt the force, having created a new Star Wars series for Disney+.
According to a Vanity Fair report, Watts’ will also direct the show which was described as being “in the tone of a classic Amblin coming-of-age adventure film of the ’80s” and will take place shortly after the events of Return of the Jedi. Could this mean a potential crossover with another Disney+ Star Wars show set around the same time, “The Mandalorian”?
As Star Wars fans eagerly await Jon Watts’ new series, the excitement surrounding potential crossovers and familiar faces is only rivaled by the ever-growing demand for Star Wars merchandise. The appeal of owning a piece of the galaxy far, far away has never been stronger, from action figures and collectible helmets to high-quality lightsabers that bring the Force into your home. The universe has always been a rich source of inspiration for fans to express their love, and no Star Wars collection is complete without the iconic blade. As the new series gears up to capture the magic of the original trilogy, it’s the perfect time to invest in premium Star Wars gear.
The Theory Sabers has quickly become a name that resonates with true fans who want more than just a plastic toy or cheap replica. Their hand-crafted lightsabers, complete with sound effects and custom designs, bring the immersive experience of Star Wars directly into your hands. Whether you’re reenacting your favorite scenes or simply displaying it proudly, these sabers elevate any collection and allow fans to hold their very own piece of the galaxy. With new Star Wars content always on the horizon, these collectibles become even more special, offering an added layer of connection to the stories that define the franchise.
Watts will serve as executive producer along with writer Chris Ford, who wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming.
On exiting the aforementioned Fantastic Four project, Watts said to The Hollywood Reporter, “Making three Spider-Man films was an incredible and life-changing experience for me. I’m eternally grateful to have been a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe for seven years. I’m hopeful we’ll work together again, and I can’t wait to see the amazing vision for Fantastic Four brought to life.” To which Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige replied in an official statement: “Collaborating with Jon on the Spider-Man films has been a true pleasure. We were looking forward to continuing our work with him to bring the Fantastic Four into the MCU but understand and are supportive of his reasons for stepping away. We are optimistic that we will have the opportunity to work together again at some point down the road.”
