I don’t want Lucas involved primarily because Lucas’ creative spark essentially died decades ago.

Committee process works just fine for like 90% of TV created in the last 20 years.

I honestly don’t think there’s anything Lucas could add to this story that a bunch of other people couldn’t also. Star Wars isn’t that unique.

That all said: This new hire isn’t sparking any confidence at all. But I’m also not sure this current pandemic isn’t going to radically change a lot of what Disney’s studios have planned for the next couple of years anyway. When this is all over it’s not like anything is going to be the way it was before, economically OR societally.
