Studio Ghibli shares cryptic post indicating a collaboration with Lucasfilm
The two creative giants, Studio Ghibli and Lucasfilm can come up with a movie or TV show. However, details of their tie-up are open to speculation.

A cryptic video tweet posted by Japanese animation studio Studio Ghibli has indicated that the it is partnering with American studio Lucasfilm for an upcoming project. Japan-based Studio Ghibli is known for several acclaimed animated films. If the speculations are correct, this would be one of the most unexpected tie-ups since Disney and Sony decided to join hands to bring Spider-Man to the Marvel Cinematic University (MCU).
The collaboration between the Japanese and American studios is also strange as Lucasfilm is owned by Disney, which has terrible memories with Studio Ghibli. Interestingly, Disney secured the North American distribution rights for Ghibli movies and dubbed them in English. However, Disney could not replicate the success of Ghibli movies in the American market.
It is unclear for which project the two creative behemoths, Studio Ghibli and Lucasfilm, have collaborated. The cryptic announcement tweet by Ghibli contained a soundless video of the Lucasfilm logo, which was immediately followed by Studio Ghibli's logo. Notably, Lucasfilm is behind one of the biggest sci-fi franchises, "Star Wars." But the cryptic video did not mention the franchise, so it may and may not be a "Star Wars" project.
