Alas, Star Wars fans, it would appear that we might never learn Boba Fett’s entire backstory after all—at least, not in the form of a Star Wars Story film. According to a new report, Lucasfilm has suspended plans for future spin-offs under the banner that brought us Rogue One and Solo, opting instead to focus on Star Wars: Episode IX and whatever trilogy might follow it. Collider writes that a rumored Obi-Wan film has also been nixed; a representative for Lucasfilm did not immediately respond to V.F.’s request for comment.

Truthfully, it’s probably wise for Lucasfilm to rethink this strategy. Mythologizing every last detail of the original trilogy has proven to have diminishing returns; one of the most common criticisms leveled against Solo was the film’s dependence on callbacks and shoehorned references to previous Star Wars movies. Solo’s soft box office—by the numbers, it was the first Star Wars film to officially flop—proved that the Star Wars Story label is not necessarily enough to guarantee the kind of success Lucasfilm is used to. So, Boba Fett and Obi-Wan might have to wait for their big-screen close-ups. In Boba Fett’s case, that’s a relief; the character is interesting particularly because of the things we don’t know about him. The same might also be true of Obi-Wan, whose story has been told in several Star Wars films already—The Phantom Menace through A New Hope, plus Force Ghost appearances in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
