Now, Chu has stepped away from the project (at least in regards to directing) due to scheduling issues, leaving us once again to ask why this is happening in the first place, as we normally do with seemingly unnecessary retreads.
Chu, a very vocal Willow fan who was originally slated to direct the series' pilot, released a statement via Instagram detailing both his decision to step away in this capacity and his disappointment in the matter altogether.
Ever the multitasker, he also took the opportunity to announce that he and his wife, Kristin Hodge, are expecting their third child, which doubles as a very sweet development and a decent reason to no longer have the time to direct.
