  Retirement from Lucasfilm
  Following Lucasfilm's announced acquisition by The Walt Disney Company, on October 31, 2012, ForceCast.net podcast Lucasfilm's Steve Sansweet stated that "Rick has retired from Lucasfilm". He had been involved with a potential live-action series set within the Star Wars universe, but the show was put on hold in 2010 due to budget concerns.
  Post-Lucasfilm career
  After leaving Lucasfilm, McCallum settled in Prague in Czechia. His Prague-based company, Film United, develops film projects and provides production services for Czech and European feature films. Films that McCallum is developing include R'ha, a science fiction feature film based on an earlier short film, to be directed by Kaleb Lechowski and written by Matthew Graham; In the Fog, a World War II film by Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa; So Far So Good (Zatím dobrý), based on the novel by Jan Novák about the Mašín brothers; and (as executive producer) A Long Way Home, directed by Paki Smith and written by Alex Rose.
  Personal life
  McCallum's mother, photographer Pat York, is married to actor Michael York. His father, Roy Alwood McCallum, was a US military pilot.
  McCallum's daughter, Olivia 'Mousy' McCallum, also works in the film industry.
