"No. The crawl is for movies."Star Wars Projects Like Rogue Squadron And Lando Aren't Dead Or Shelved, Says Kathleen KennedyIGN: 'Rogue Squadron,' that definitely is something that we still talk about. "Whether it's a movie or whether it ends up being in the series space, that's definitely something."Lando: "I can just tell you it's still happening and [Donald Glover is] very excited about it." Kevin Feige's Star Wars Movie Never Really Got Off The Ground, But Kathleen Kennedy Is Open To Ideas"Kevin Feige's project was something announced in the press, or I guess, fandom, but there was, nothing ever got developed. We never discussed an idea, because as everybody knows, Kevin is a huge 'Star Wars' fan. And if, you know, he did come up with something, I would be all ears, but that's never really happened, so.

In Star Wars there's a lot of things now going back almost 50 years so it you don't want people to feel like they have see everything in order to step into Star Wars and we also want to look at the generational aspect of Star Wars, it's always been something that's been passed down so something like Skeleton Crew, we're really excited about because you know that's it's aimed at younger kids but will still bring in the fans, still bring in adults. But that's an opportunity for a kid that … can step into Star Wars and make it their own. And I think that's the beauty of the storytelling that's going on now is that everybody can kind of find where their entry point is.”All the other stuff you need to know:This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
