It did seem that the girl loved learning, too, and helped open his eyes to the power of knowledge, so I didn't mind the genderflip.

Joe Johnston. The guy is steeped in early Lucasfilm lore, having designed Boba Fett, and been art director for Empire, Jedi and Raiders of the Lost Ark. He also has a working relationship with Disney and Kathleen Kennedy having directed Captain America. Frankly, I’m stunned the guy didn’t get the Ep VII gig.

"...a huge, spoilery cameo by the absolute last person you'd expect...."

"In a world, where some guy has a plan. His plan to reveal his plan fails. Now, he has to search for a new plan.

Stephen Lawhead's Pendragon Cycle. Five chunky novels covering the Arthurian legend in a semi historical/ semi fantastical style. If you can wring 5 reasonably well regarded novels out of it, I don't think 6 movies is too big a stretch.

In that verse, I'm gonna add an honourable mention of:

Is it cheating if I pick Porthos?

You can't deny it.

Ok people, cue the music to Star Blazers!

Oh, and one more thing...

Without any question it'd have to be Powdered Toast Man.
