Whether you’re in the camp of “Another Star Wars show?†or “Another Star Wars show!â€, this latest news from Disney is pleasing either way. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland has been tapped to develop a new live-action SW series for Disney+. The new series will exist in the same universe as the platform’s other shows which include The Mandalorian (which just renewed for a third season before season two even dropped), the long-running animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and two shows that are still in development: a Rogue One prequel series starring Diego Luna and an Obi-Wan Kenobi show that will bring back Ewan McGregor. There is zero chance this would ever happen, but Headland’s show is just Natasha Lyonne’s Russian Doll character haplessly caring for a Baby Yoda-like infant while chain smoking and having misadventures throughout the galaxy, that would be incredible.
