'Legends of Tomorrow' Return Episode Will Save 'Star Wars'!

It looks like we all owe Star Wars to the Legends of Tomorrow!

When the CW show returns later next month, their entire mission is to save the movie franchise — by saving a young George Lucas.

Executive Producer Marc Guggenheim dished on the return episode, emphasizing that George Lucas has a profound impact on Ray (Brandon Routh) and Nate (Nick Zano).

“Because of circumstances, the time aberration in episode 209 is George Lucas quits film school. As a result, he never makes Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark,” he explains.

“As a result, Ray, who became an engineer because of Star Wars, and Nate, who became a historian because of Raiders, slowly start to lose their brilliance, because those things that inspired them to become who they are didn’t exist.”

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will returns Tuesday, January 24th at 9PM ET/PT.
