Quietly last month, producer and long-time studio veteran Rick McCallum retired from Lucasfilm. McCallum played a large part in the Young Indiana Jones television series as well as the Special Edition of the Original Trilogy before producing the Prequel Trilogy. The announcement was made nearly a month ago on the Forcecast by Steve Sansweet but only caught the attention of sites like IGN recently.
What McCallum’s retirement means for the seemingly stuck-on-the-backburner live action television series is unknown, though chances are this isn’t good news for that project. As IGN points out, Disney may have its own vision for what television projects would look like on its network.
