SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY---co-writer Jonathan Kasdan said Michael Mann movies were the inspiration for the Conveyex heist featured in SOLO, “Part of the challenge is to come up with new, inventive kinds of action we haven’t seen in STAR WARS. We often referenced HEAT and THIEF as high-end criminals doing serious jobs that involve huns and big hijackings.”

LOST IN SPACE---co-writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless said they are already working on Season 2, “[The details are] pretty well worked out. There’s obviously a deep backstory of the robot and the causality of what caused this whole world to happen, and we’ve definitely figured that part out… We are working on scripts and hoping that if we get a green light we’re ready to go. We’ve had a lot of thoughts about it, and hopefully, if everyone watches it, we’ll get to see more adventures of the Robinsons, because we do have some crazy stuff planned out that we really hope we get to film.”
