‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ writer doesn’t see a sequel “happening anytime soon”

Solo: A Star Wars Story may have earned nearly $400 million worldwide, but in the realm of the Star Wars saga, these numbers could be considered “disappointing.” Co-writer Jonathan Kasdan recently detailed on Twitter how these numbers seemingly dash the hopes of a sequel happening in the near future.

“Will there ever be a sequel ’cause it really seems like you guys were setting one up? To be honest, I think the challenge has more to do with the foreign box office than the U.S.,” Kasdan shared on Twitter. “Personally, I think there are great Star Wars movies to be made that don’t need to cost quite so much. Hopefully that will be the trend in years to come, and maybe, just maybe, that trend will allow us, one way or another, to tell more stories with Alden [Ehrenreich], Joonas [Suotamo], Emilia [Clarke], and Donald [Glover].”
