Sounds like George Lucas is making a come back to Star Wars. However, this time it will be as the executive producer and screenwriter of one of the new original Disney+ productions. The new series is about Cassian Andor, starring Diego Luna, as ascertained by The Illuminerdi.
The return of this famous director, producer and screenwriter will mark the end of a long wait for fans. For more than a decade his participation in the productions of the franchise which he created has been very limited and missed. Recall that, in 2012, Lucas sold the Star Was franchise to Disney for $4 billion.
Although he has shared his opinion about the production of the most recent films, the last time he was involved in a Star Wars film was Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005). In addition, it is striking that he prefers to join the series about a character he did not create over other productions such as The Mandalorian or the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
The plot of this new series revolves around Cassian’s adventures as a rebel spy during the Rebel Alliance’s formative years, before the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016). The production also features Tony Gilroy, who was co-screenwriter of the film that introduced the character played by Diego Luna. It is expected that Alan Tudyk will also repeat his role as the K2SO droid.
