Damon Lindelof would like you to know that he’s not working on a Star Wars project. And that he’s not doing it for the fans. Lindelof told ScreenCrush.
“I can tell you that I’ve had no conversations with anyone, on a formal or informal level, about working on any Star Wars project.” But even if he had, he admits that he’d be nervous about taking on that kind of gig.
“I would certainly never say never, but right now, whether Tomorrowland succeeds or fails, I’m committed to a space of trying to make something more original,” he explained. “[One] that doesn’t come with the intense focus of ‘Jesus, Lindelof, don’t mess this up.’ If it’s an original piece, I messed up my own thing, which I’ve also been accused of, mind you. But it would be immensely distracting to the fans, for my name to be involved in the franchise at this stage.”
