Producer Karyn McCarthy accuses Lucasfilm of operating in bad faith when it fired her, causing her to miss out on a lucrative opportunity to executive produce an Apple TV+ series as a result.
Lucasfilm disputes there was a contract in place, according to the suit. It didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
“She began extensive research into European production: crew, vendors and structure,” writes Robert Allen, a lawyer for McCarthy, in the suit. “Based upon her expertise and as part of her role as Executive Producer, she had an in-depth discussion with senior Lucasfilm executives about her direction of the production and personnel. Because the series would require her to be overseas for at least a year and probably several years, McCarthy made arrangement to relocate long term.
McCarthy allegedly relied on communications with Lucasfilm, which she says constitute a formal contract, to turn down Apple’s offer. Lucasfilm allegedly denied the existence of the agreement. The studio offered to pay her $5,000, which she rejected.
