Rumors about future Star Wars movies abound and Lucasfilm officially announces the cast of The Acolyte as it begins production.
Another day, another Star Wars movie rumor. In the latest developments from the Star Wars rumor mill, a director tied to the MCU is said to be in talks to develop a Star Wars movie.
