As you know, director Colin Trevorrow was developing the ninth film in Skywalker Star Wars saga, which would be titled Star Wars: Duel of Destinies. This film would have been so much better than what JJ Abrams delivered with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Details were shared for that story and some concept art was shared giving us a visualization of Trevorrow’s vision. The script for his movie is online and can be read anytime anyone wants, and it’s a shame Lucasfilm didn’t make that movie. I don’t think it would have saved the sequel trilogy, but it would have been better.
In a recent interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Star Wars star John Boyega talks about his excitement over the initial plans for Duel of the Fates and explains that he will never read the script because it will leave him heartbroken. He said:
“I can’t read it, because I’ll be heartbroken. I had a meeting with Colin. It was one of the best Star Wars encounters I’ve had. never I had. They looked like two nerds saying, ‘Yeah, that’s what we want to see!’ I saw the art, the stormtroopers rebellion. That stuff was cold. “
Boyega also said he hopes Lucasfilm will give Trevorrow an “opportunity” to get back to work on the Star Wars franchise somewhere down the line.
One thing is certain, Boyega’s character Finn was completely wasted on those last two Star Wars movie. They introduced him and he had the potential to be a fantastic and interesting character, and then they just didn’t do anything interesting with him. It’s a shame.
