You need more Doomcock in your life.
We all do, so I bring this latest rumor from him:
Star Wars: George Lucas Involved With New Trilogy (Rumor)
"My new source - and you should absolutely take this with a lot of salt - told me, 'Okay. More good news. The Big G, George Lucas(!), was just here with Jon [Favreau] and David [Filoni] and meeting with the Killer B's [Bob Iger and Bob Chapek]," explains Doomcock. "The Big G wants more input in Star Wars going forward and is in talks to put a financial stake back into Lucasfilm Ltd. If this happens, we could be looking at a new trilogy bankrolled by the big man himself.'"
It's very unconfirmed, but it does make a lot of sense. It's widely speculated that Lucas is interested in getting involved in Star Wars again--in fact, his writing credit on an episode of the upcoming Andor series seems to confirm it--and Disney likely isn't going to refuse if he offers to bankroll a whole trilogy for them, which he could easily do with the $4B that he got from them in the first place. It seems like it'd be a good way for him to be involved and have creative control again, even though he doesn't own Star Wars any more.
