Director J.D. Dillard (Sleight) and screenwriter Matt Owens ("The Defenders," "Luke Cage," "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.") are developing a "Star Wars" project for Lucasfilm, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Hollywood trade said that it's being developed in such a way that it could be adapted for a film or as a series for Disney Plus.
Dillard directed the 2016 horror film "Sleight," and followed that up in 2019 with "Sweetheart." He recently directed an episode of the upcoming Amazon series "Utopia," and is in pre-production on the Korean war film "Devotion."
