Every In Development (& Rumoured) Star Wars Movie & TV Show - Ranked

16. Leia TV Show

Rogue One A Star Wars Story Leia
Lucasfilm

Status: Rumoured

One of a number of series rumoured to be in-development for Disney Plus, it's fair to say this needs to be taken with an entire planet full of salt, and reason to hope it is nothing more too.

This would reportedly focus on a young Leia in the earlier days of the Rebellion, essentially making it a prequel series to A New Hope (and her brief appearance in Rogue One). While using CGI to portray a younger Leia worked well for a brief moment in Rogue One, this would require a complete re-casting of the role, which itself is a deterrent after Carrie Fisher's passing.

More so, though, is that there's not THAT much of the story left to tell. We've seen a lot of Leia's tale on the big screen, and more has been covered in official tie-in material, such as recent novel Leia: Princess of Alderaan. Star Wars could do with moving away from this timeline and its three central heroes.
