Visual Effect Supervisor of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Industrial Light & Magic’s John Knoll, who was also conceived the film’s original story is at it again, as he has stated that he’s “tinkering” with another Star Wars-related idea.
“I have another idea I’ve been tinkering with,” he said after participating on a Rogue One Super Session during the National Association of Broadcasters Show. “It’s maybe 75 percent there. I haven’t pitched it to [Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy]. It’s another Star Wars thing.”
“There’s no reason to think Disney is going to stop wanting to make Star Wars movies if there’s quality and there’s interest,” Knoll reasoned. “It has unlimited potential. It has a huge number of characters, worlds … It’s a massive playground.”
