It's Friday's news on the internet. And is not for less. Studio Ghibli has dropped that he's working with Lucasfilm and, of course, right now all eyes are on the star wars franchise. What kind of collaboration would we be talking about? when will it happen? what additional details do we know? Don't worry, if all these questions are bombarding your head right now, you're not alone. We will try to answer them.
Studio Ghibli, the most special Japanese animation
The animation content coming to us from Japan is huge, but let's face it, Studio Ghibli has something that everyone else lacks. It will be its atmosphere, its narrative, the music (generally by Joe Hisaishi and Cat trumpet) or that technique that he has to capture his drawings on the screen. Or all of the above together. Be that as it may, the studio has built up an excellent reputation over time that has helped generate a legion of fans huge around the globe.
Between the most famous films of Studio Ghibli we El viaje de Chihiro (the one that we could say catapulted the company to its international fame), La princesa Mononoke o Mi Vecino Totoro, among other beautiful pieces. Now perhaps, you should add to your resume a very special collaboration with an American study such as Lucasfilm. Or at least, that is what we all expect after the enigmatic announcement that he has made on his official Twitter account.
The collaboration with Lucasfilm, what is it about?
Studio Ghibli only needed one tweet in which there is not even no text to make us all go crazy. What is shown in the publication is neither more nor less than a very brief video in which the logo of the company founded by George Lucas appears, as you can see below:

The Japanese firm has not made any further statements at the moment, but Lucasfilm has commented on the "announcement", indicating, according to information in Gizmodo, which "everything will be revealed soon". Therefore, we should not take too long to discover what these two companies are up to.
Is it related to Star Wars? Everything points to it being the most important franchise within the company and the one that would undoubtedly have the greatest impact. It should also be remembered that there is an animated anthology series called star wars visions, made up of short films in which Japanese anime studios give their touch and vision. White and bottled, right? It is therefore quite likely that they are preparing an episode with Studio Ghibli involved.
Likewise the people of Gizmodo point that the second largest franchise of the American house is the indiana jones sagaTherefore, although unlikely, we should not rule it out either. and then there is Willow, which is now premiering a TV series on Disney+ (and whose hate It is true that it fits better with Ghibli, everything must be said).
It's hard not to get excited or nervous at this point, but we're afraid we're going to have to keep our cool until one of the two firms releases a pledge. luckily it looks like it will Sooner than later so… don't go far!
