Willow showrunner explains how StarWars creator George Lucas and TheMandalorian made the Disney+ series possible:
During the making of 1983's Return of the Jedi, visionary Star Wars creator George Lucas asked 12-year-old Ewok actor Warwick Davis to play an aspiring sorcerer in his next fantasy film. Five years would pass before Lucasfilm's Willow — produced by story writer Lucas and directed by Ron Howard — made it to the screen in 1988 with Davis in the leading role of the Nelwyn Willow Ufgood.
While the world of Willow would live on in the Chronicles of the Shadow War trilogy of novels, the film was not as big a blockbuster as Lucas' Star Wars or Indiana Jones, and a hoped-for film franchise never materialized.
