Disney completed its acquisition of Lucasfilm Ltd. LLC., on December 21, according to a company press release.

So what role will Star Wars creator George Lucas play now?  “When Lucas passed the torch, so to speak, by selling his company to Disney, he really meant it when he said he was moving on. He’ll be there as a source of canonical information, as someone who may know the details or relationships of certain characters that perhaps were only briefly touched on in the six films so far, but the new scripts will tell a new story and the new director will direct without answering to Lucas,” according to Screenrant.
