Guillermo del Toro has had talks with Lucasfilm about directing a Star Wars movie

April 12, 2017 by Jordan Jones

Guillermo del Toro has confirmed that he has had talks with Kathleen Kennedy of Lucasfilm regarding ideas for a Star Wars film. Chatting with Collider, del Toro discussed how comments are often blown out of proportion, but revealed that he has shared some ideas for a Star Wars film, although he’s primarily focussing on his own projects, including his animated ambitions, at present:

“I will not comment on this, because then somebody will say, ‘Oh, Guillermo’s doing [Star Wars]!’ and I look like a kook. Neil Gaiman once said that, ‘I’d love to write Doctor Strange with Guillermo,’ and then all of a sudden on my IMDb I had Doctor Strange [listed]. But saying all of that as a caveat, I would say there’s some characters that are great, and I have talked to Kathy Kennedy and John Knoll about ideas. But you know, I want to do my shit. I want to do my shit, I want to do it first, and I’m veering a lot towards animation. I love animation.”

Obviously, this is in no way a confirmation that he will be directing a Disney-era Star Wars film anytime soon. In fact, it looks like he is quite opposed to the idea, though it’s easy to imagine how great it would be. Guillermo del Toro has an ongoing love-affair with practical creature effects, and he would probably have a blast bringing the various creatures of the Star Wars universe to life. Let’s hold out hope, shall we?
