What happens to cancelled ideas?
The cancelled Star Wars robot film concept is being reworked into a separate sci-fi film outside the franchise. This is a common practice in Hollywood; good ideas often find new life even if they don't fit their original mould. It allows creators to retain their work and potentially develop it into something unique.
