Some may scoff at the notion of a scary Star Wars story, but it’s not all that crazy, especially considering the literature that the franchise has spawned over the years. Given that, I’d love to see a film in which a group of smugglers travel to the seemingly dormant planet to find a valuable artifact or resource and end up haunted and attacked by the souls of the departed. The Monkey director Osgood Perkins even pitched a scary idea to produce short stories composed of the “the collected dreams and nightmares of Darth Vader.” There’s certainly room for horror within this massive IP, and I truly hope the production Gilroy is teasing comes to fruition.
