Untitled Star Wars film (J.D. Dillard)

A Star Wars film was in development at Lucasfilm with filmmakers J.D. Dillard and Matt Owens attached as writers. The project was first reported on by The Hollywood Reporter on February 21, 2020. At that time in development, it was unsure if the film would be a theatrical release or if it would be released on the streaming service Disney+. Furthermore, it was unclear if Dillard would also direct the project.

On November 8, 2022, TheWrap published an interview in which Dillard confirmed that the project was no longer in development, saying that it was "unfortunately no longer a thing." The project's cancellation "was not for lack of trying" on Dillard's part. Dillard also revealed that the project would have been influenced by the 1994 video game Star Wars: TIE Fighter, which was Dillard's first introduction to Star Wars as a child.
