"I went to Disney and said, 'Why don't we do an R - rated 'Star Wars' movie? It doesn't have to be about the big - name characters. There are all sorts of characters to choose from,'" Reynolds shared. He emphasized that by R - rated, he doesn't mean vulgarity. Instead, he views it as a "Trojan horse for emotion," expressing his long - standing curiosity about why studios are hesitant to take such risks.

 

Reynolds further elaborated that his role in this potential project wouldn't be as an actor. "I'm not saying I want to be in the movie. That might not be appropriate," he stated. Instead, he expressed his eagerness to be involved behind - the - scenes, perhaps as a producer or a writer. He believes that such an IP can thrive on its scarcity and the element of surprise. As of now, it remains to be seen if Disney will take up Reynolds' proposal and how this could reshape the "Star Wars" film landscape in the future.
