Does Studio Ghibli have a collaboration with Lucasfilm in store?

A video of just 15 seconds, posted on Twitter: that was enough to send fans of the game into raptures Studio Ghibli. The mythical Japanese animation studio founded among others by Hayao Miyazaki, in fact, has published a short sequence on the social network of chirps in which you see the classic animated logo of the Lucasfilm which appears before each of his productions and then a fixed image that represents the logo of the Studio Ghibli itself with the classic illustration de My neighbor Totoro on background. What does it mean? It is too early to know, also because the social post was not accompanied by no communication officialyet hypotheses are already chasing each other on the web.

The first thought, and to tell the truth also the first hope, is that it is indeed one collaboration between the two realities. It immediately comes to mind Star Wars. For some time, in fact, the universe of Star Wars has been expanding by exploring new narrative dimensions, including that of animation. And it is no coincidence that among the greatest sources of inspiration of George Lucas when in the seventies he imagined this saga there were also masterpieces of Japanese culture such as the Kurosawa film. There would also be the right opportunity: the second season of Star Wars: Visions, an anthology of animated shorts entrusted to the most varied animation studios in the world. Maybe Studio Ghibli was involved to make one of the episodes of this new cycle.

Probably, even if there are those who hope for something more: maybe a movie or a whole series bearing the distinctive distinctive style made immortal by works such as The enchanted city, Princess Mononoke And Howl’s Moving Castle. Perhaps, however, we are reaching too hasty conclusions: the world of Lucasfilm, in fact, is quite vast and also includes other franchises such as Indiana Jones (whose fifth chapter will debut next summer) or Willow, the sequel series of which is expected on Disney + starting November 30. Could this hypothetical joint project be about promoting one of these two projects? The conditionals and question marks, in the absence of other details, are a must, while we remain waiting for updatescurious as the Nerini of the dark.
