A standalone film is a film that does not have any relation with other films.[1] In the late 1990s, it was typical to create standalone films with no plans for sequels. The term "standalone film" appeared when sequels, spin-offs, and franchises became normal from the mid-2000s onwards.[2]
A standalone spin-off is a film that expands some fictional universe. The Star Wars Anthology series is an example of standalone spin-offs.[4][8] Standalone spin-offs may also be centered on a minor character from an existing fictional universe.[citation needed]
