Director Jon Favreau (who in fact directed Iron Man) has now received an offer to launch a Star Wars series for Disney and Lucasfilm, as reported by Screen Rant, who say that he will write and produce the series too. Here's what Lucasfilm/Disney studio boss Kathleen Kennedy had to say about the project:
"I couldn't be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform. Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base."
