Disney's Andor Showrunner Reveals Star Wars Horror Project

In an intriguing revelation, Tony Gilroy, the acclaimed showrunner behind the successful Star Wars series *Andor*, hinted at a secret Star Wars horror project in development at Disney. During a recent interview with Business Insider, Gilroy responded to a query about tackling a darker Star Wars project by suggesting that Disney is already exploring this territory. "They're doing that. I think they're doing that," he stated, confirming the existence of a horror-themed project within the Star Wars universe. While details remain scarce, this project could potentially take the form of a TV series, a movie, or another innovative format, with no specific information yet on the creative team behind it.

If Gilroy's comments hold true, fans might soon experience the Star Wars saga delving into the Dark Side in an unprecedented manner. The project's development could take years, but the mere mention by Gilroy indicates that Disney is open to exploring new and thrilling avenues within this beloved franchise. "The right creator, and the right moment, and the right vibe … you can do anything," Gilroy remarked, reflecting on his experience with *Andor* and expressing hope that the show's success could pave the way for other innovative projects.

The idea of a Star Wars horror movie has long been a dream for many fans, including Mark Hamill. While the franchise has traditionally catered to a broad audience with its storytelling, there remains untapped potential in exploring its darker elements. Some spinoffs have ventured into scarier territory, but a major horror project could offer a fresh perspective on the vast Star Wars universe.
