Late last September, David S. Goyer talked to the podcast Happy Sad Confused with Josh Horowitz about an unproduced Star Wars movie with Guillermo del Toro. No specifics were given at the time, but it has since then been revealed that the project was a Jabba the Hutt origins movie.
“It was about four years ago, and I also wrote an unproduced ‘scriptment’ for an origins of the Jedi movie…that took place 25,000 years before the first Star Wars film,” Goyer said at the time. “Dabbling in Star Wars would have been fun for me.” Goyer also added that Horowitz should get del Toro on the show some time to talk about the would-be movie if he could.
And he did.
