That said, a local publication from Belfast has reported that George Lucas, who sold all of Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012 and has only tangentially been involved in the new Star Wars movies ever since, was taking a tour of Paint Hall studios in Belfast and scoping out other possible filming locations for the Obi-Wan movie.
Some have speculated that this could mean Lucasfilm is moving away from standalone movies, which could put the Obi-Wan movie in jeopardy.
Without a doubt, the most interesting part of this particular report is that George Lucas is actually involved heavily enough to be doing location scouting for the Obi-Wan movie.
It was all very low key, only a few people knew that the old guy walking round the set was George Lucas.
