after revealing that he and Fisher were told by Lucas in August that Star Wars would be returning. 5 comments so far They should just appropriate Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. Commenter Ben Location Newcastle Date and time November 16, 2012, 9:14AM Timothy Zahn's story takes place only 5 years after Return of the Jedi - the cast may have aged a bit much!

Thus giving Disney full rights to the franchise.
