Lucasfilm Creator George Lucas has made several trips to the set of various Lucasfilm projects, with one of his more notable trips recorded on the set of The Mandalorian for Disney+. There is no doubting that Lucasfilm parent company The Walt Disney Company and Lucas have had differences regarding the future of various franchises, but there is no doubting that the two must come together to make sure fans are getting the best experience in theaters and at home.

Reddit User and known scooper u/SpideyForever245 has shared that the famed director and executive producer has a heavy opinion regarding the leadership and Lucasfilm, with reports that George Lucas would rather see Executive Producer and Creative Director Dave Filoni in the role of President at Lucasfilm, Ltd. The claim was shared on a Reddit post regarding the fifth Indiana Jones movie.
