RUMOR: Star Wars May Get Its Own What If Series From Disney

In the recent MCU flop era, the Disney Plus series What If...? has proven to be one of Marvel Studios' more creative and popular ventures, and according to a new rumor, the Star Wars franchise may be getting its version.

What If...? is an animated anthology series in which each episode revisits a major MCU plot point and explores what would have happened if things had gone differently. So far, there have been two seasons of the show, and a highly-anticipated What If season 3, plus a spin-off series titled Marvel Zombies, are also in development. For the studios, an animated series is far less financially risky than a blockbuster release, and Star Wars, which has faced its own box office struggles in recent years, might be wise to follow in Marvel Studios' footsteps.

According to a recent rumor from insider Daniel Richtman, parent company Disney, who also owns Lucasfilm, may take the concept of infinite possibilities and apply it to the Star Wars universe. Richtman claims a Star Wars What If...? is already in development. A Star Wars version of the series would likely also re-imagine pivotal moments within the canon. Superfans have already been imagining alternate reality Star Wars scenarios for years, and potential titles for a What If...? series could include things like, 'What If… Padme Turned to the Dark Side?'

There is no shortage of insane twists creators could put on a Star Wars series where anything goes. The animated format would allow creators to explore big concepts without risking another box office flop. Another upside to adding an animated anthology series to the Star Wars slate is giving audiences the chance to reconnect with their favorite characters again.
