Believe it or not, The Boys is just one season away from concluding. The series creator, Eric Kripke, has already begun pursuing his next passion project and recently expressed his admiration for Star Wars, hinting at a desire to explore that universe someday.
Fans are now urging the studio and creator to let The Boys end gracefully, avoiding the pitfalls that plagued the final seasons of other successful shows like Game of Thrones.
The Boys Showrunner Eyes Entry into Star Wars Universe
Eric Kripke the creator of one of Prime Video’s most successful TV shows, The Boys, is to be credited for the show’s astounding success. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, when discussing the eventual end of The Boys, he revealed his passion for Star Wars and his aspirations to explore that universe someday.
According to Rolling Stone, Eric Kripke is described as a “lifelong Star Wars fan and fully intends to do something in that universe one day.” While whether this aspiration materializes remains uncertain, openly expressing his interest certainly can’t hurt his prospects. The ongoing acclaim for The Boys could also greatly strengthen Kripke’s chances of landing his dream role within the Star Wars universe.
Only time will reveal whether Kripke will ever seize the opportunity. For now, his focus is on delivering a satisfying conclusion to The Boys. Season 4 is already here, and the series will conclude with its upcoming fifth season.
However, Kripke’s involvement in the franchise doesn’t end there, he is very engaged with several spinoff projects. The Boys: Diabolical is gearing up for its second season, and a new spinoff set in Mexico is also in development. Season 5 of the show will certainly not be the end of the journey for Kriplke to say the least.
Fans Beg Eric Kripke to Repeat Game of Thrones’ Fate With The Boys
Following this news, fans have been passionately urging Eric Kripke to allow The Boys to conclude on its own terms or at least wait until its proper ending before venturing into any potential Star Wars project. They’ve already endured disappointment over Game of Thrones, and going through a similar experience with The Boys would be beyond overwhelming, to say the least.
Ever since the interview was published, it’s been the talk of all the fans. However, it’s important to note that nothing is confirmed yet, and the creator intends to concentrate solely on The Boys in the years to come. Despite this, fans are taking every precaution they can.
Here is what the fans have to say,
just don't give him a star wars deal before the boys is finished. I don't want any flashbacks to game of thrones😭😭

He should focus on delivering a good finale for The Boys first, so he doesn't share the same fate as the Game of Thrones creators

he'll get a deal for a movie then if he makes a bad project in between they'll go quiet for 5 years after the announcement and scrap it. Lucas film is too reactionary as with GoT showrunners, Taika Watiti, Colin Trevarrow and many more

The Boys is top tier television (Hell, top tier any media), doing anything Star Wars related would be a major step down and so restrictive it’s not even worth the energy (also the universe is such a mess nothing short of a full reboot will save it)

Oh god… history is repeating itself

Overall, there’s little enthusiasm for Kripke diving into Star Wars, especially if it means neglecting or rushing through The Boys. It’s currently one of the highest-rated and most beloved shows on TV, and fans have high expectations as the seasons unfold. Kripke needs to ensure he delivers.
