Zack Sharf Digital News Director Damon Lindelof’s exit from the Star Wars universe was not a mutual decision, the writer confirmed in a new Esquire interview.
The “Lost” and “The Leftovers” co-creator boarded a new Star Wars movie in 2022 with “Ms. Marvel” director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy attached to direct.
Lindelof brought on Justin Britt-Gibson (“Counterpart,” “Into the Badlands”) to co-write the project with him. The duo exited the film in February. “I was in more than talks to join the Star Wars universe,” Lindelof told Esquire. “I joined the Star Wars universe and was asked to leave.” Lindelof and Britt-Gibson were replaced as writers by Steven Knight, best known in recent years as the creator of “Peaky Blinders.” Obaid-Chinoy remained as director amid the screenwriting transition.
Lindelof told Variety earlier this month that his script was “a true labor of love.” “I wish them all the best of luck,” Lindelof added to Variety. “Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy is an incredible director, and I can’t wait to see what she comes up with.” At Star Wars Celebration, it was announced that Obaid-Chinoy and Knight’s movie is actually a sequel to 2019’s “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” and will feature the return of Daisy Ridley’s Rey to the franchise.
