With Star Wars: Rebels character Saw Gerrera making his live-action debut in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as played by Forest Whitaker, might other animated characters from Star Wars television series make the transition to live-action in future Star Wars movies?
Not necessarily, according to Lucasfilm president and Star Wars movie producer Kathleen Kennedy. She said during a Rogue One press conference today at Lucasfilm that the movies are designed as stories first rather than launching pads for existing animated small screen characters to be brought to the big screen in live-action.
"You know, that really isn't the approach that we have," said Kennedy. "We don't sit down and start isolating a list of characters and then build stories around those."
Kennedy continued, "We really are starting with the stories themselves and then if some of those characters might come in to what it is we want to do or say we'll consider it then but that's not part of the strategy, no."
Saw Gerrera makes his big screen live-action debut when Rogue One hits theaters worldwide December 16.
