The showrunner is a “lifelong fan” of all things set in a galaxy far, far away
From jokes to Jedis: The Boys creator Eric Kripke “fully intends” to make a TV show or movie set in a galaxy far, far away one day.
According to Rolling Stone, the writer-producer described himself as a “lifelong Star Wars fan” as he conducted an interview sitting in front of a replica of Han Solo’s blaster. (In the past, Kripke has confessed that he based Supernatural’s Sam and Dean on Solo and his pal Luke Skywalker and that the franchise was a “huge part of his DNA” growing up.)
For now, he’s likely laser-focused on giving Prime Video series The Boys a good send-off, after it was announced that its fifth season would be its last. Season 4 is currently being rolled out weekly, as Butcher (Karl Urban), Hughie (Jack Quaid), and co. continue their crusade against corrupt Supes and Vought International.
“I worry a lot,” Kripke told the aforementioned publication, as he acknowledged existing spin-off Gen V and upcoming outings Diabolical and The Boys Mexico. “About becoming the thing that we’re satirizing. Like, daily, I worry about it. I say it all the time to people on a lot of calls, like, our brand is punk rock. We deserve extra scorn if we sell out.”
The Boys season 4 is streaming now on Prime Video, with new episodes releasing every Thursday.
