    You're being reductionistic.

    Very unlikely. I think GL is done with blockbusters and back to experimental movies. I would have loved to see those but I guess it is what it is.

    It would be really cool if GL got LFL back and kept the money from the sale. Just because. :p

    If they decided, and it's quite unlikely, to go full Prequel. The Kit Fisto movie or something like that. Going for the look and feel of those movies.

    Then bring him in in some capacity. Exec producer. "Design Consultant". Give him the freedom to influence without the pressures of being the damn director.

    I'm not sure I'd want GL to direct another SW movie, but it would be nice to see him creatively involved with the franchise again. Perhaps a 'story by' credit.

    It took me ages to find it, but this is the quote I'm referring to:

    http://ew.com/article/2016/11/22/rogue-one-lucasfilm-new-star-wars-movies/

    If they do do an early Jedi and origin of the Sith series of movies (hopefully!), here's hoping they keep Lucas' ideas in mind.

    George is great "big picture" guy. That is why I always thought Indiana Jones was the perfect fit for him. He's a fantastic producer / story guy, and Speilberg is a great director. I think bringing him back to produce a SW movie would be a great swan song and heal a lot of old wounds.

    There are no wounds to heal. GL sold LFL. And it's always hard to let your baby go, no matter how much you want to. Coming back to it would be a big mistake, IMO.

    GL is done, though I would love for him to come back and add to it. It would give Disney Star Wars some legitimacy and who else knows star wars than the master who created it himself. Alas, it won't happen. My concern is that the third anthology will be something hokey riddled with fan service. This third anthology fiml has to be a bit epic if you ask me. No character stories that cost $60 million. That's going to send star wars to its death pretty quick.

    I don't know about it giving the Disney-era legitimacy. Kennedy--a long-time friend--was brought into the fold by Lucas to make these new films, having worked with Lucas in the past, and many of the people working on these films were hired by Lucas during either the OT or PT eras. IOW, the team was largely assembled by Lucas in the first place. How much more legitimacy is needed?

    Why? R1 didn't overdo the fan service. And KK and the Story Group, the Big 3, Kasdan, Knoll, Howard, and Williams are legitimate.

    Right. The first anthology film was an unqualified, epic success with very little fan service (I'd argue only the 3PO/R2 and Ponda Baba/ Evazan moments can be called that). Not to mention that the PT was absolutely chuck full of fan service. 3PO built by Anakin and Chewie in ROTS anyone?

    Wouldn't that be great for an anthology movie about the origins of the Jedi? The saga doesn't spend too much on formal Jedi training beside Dagobah and the scene with the younglings in AotC. TCW showed us how the younglings harvest their first crystal and build their lightsabers. Either that or showing the difference between the Jedi Order of the Old Republic and the PT Jedi. Might be a good way to show the trials to become a Jedi Knight.

    They could make a Baron Papanoida anthology film and have George reprise his role.
