As such, the list contains only information from the Skywalker Saga films, the 2008 animated TV series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and works published after April 2014. Following its acquisition by The Walt Disney Company in 2012, Lucasfilm rebranded most of the novels, comics, video games and other works produced since the originating 1977 film Star Wars as Star Wars Legends and declared them non-canon to the rest of the franchise.

Yes, Rogue One was sort of a war film, but Solo was essentially just a sci-fi adventure with a young Han Solo, and Lucasfilm hasn’t produced any additional anthology titles since then.

And he’s not just interested in his own material, either he’s made a Ouija prequel and several films adapted from Stephen King novels, including the excellent Gerald’s Game for Netflix and the underrated Shining sequel Doctor Sleep. Lately, he’s become one of Netflix’s go-to guys for horror TV shows, starting with The Haunting in 2018 and continuing with a second season of the show in 2020 and then Midnight Mass earlier this fall. Flanagan’s distinguished himself in recent years as one of the most reliable horror directors in film and television.
