According to the report, the secret Star Wars film was written by David Goyer, with del Toro set to direct it. But this never materialized, and the franchise eventually went into a whole new direction. Right now, it has become a franchise full of great spinoff shows, including the likes of Andor and Ahsoka.

But many fans spoke about this one film the world missed out on, particularly that it could have been a great addition to the rapidly growing franchise.

Guillermo del Toro has continued to make great projects after this and the Star Wars universe also continued to shell out some great spinoffs.

But sadly, fans will never get to see this epic crossover.
