George Lucas Star Wars Return - What Will Happen

4. It All Started With A Rumour

This past week Star Wars Theory, one of the biggest Star Wars channels on YouTube, interviewed Roger Christian, who won an Oscar for his production design work on A New Hope, and who dropped one hell of a possible-revelation out of nowhere about the franchise's future.

Christian stated that he'd heard through the grapevine that George Lucas will be making a formal return to Star Wars to work on a new live-action series, as quickly sent shockwaves through the fanbase.

Though Christian didn't elaborate much on what he'd heard - namely whether the series was TV or film - he seemed confident that Lucas is being brought back in to develop a new project.

And while it's absolutely worth taking any such whispers - even top-level ones like this from actual Star Wars crew members - with a truckload of salt, Christian certainly speaks with greater authority than most. 

And so, let's consider why this might in fact be totally on the money.
