George Lucas reveals his plan for Star Wars 7, 8 and 9—and it was awful. It might have displaced Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, and Ewoks: Caravan of Courage, and the Star Wars Christmas Special as the three worst Star Wars productions ever made.

Fans frequently complain that remakes, sequels, and prequels have "ruined their childhood" when they don't turn out the way they'd like. Well, guys—it's invariably guys—get on your knees and thank JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson for saving your childhoods because if Lucas had his way, you'd really have had something to complain about.

George Lucas’ final trilogy plans are so dumb, fans would have begged for the return of Jar Jar.

George Lucas acknowledges “fans would have hated it”.

George Lucas has nearly completed his evolution into a sentient punchline.

What follows should make every Star Wars fan send a note of gratitude to whoever at Disney decided to buy the franchise and take it away from Lucas' control:

Actually it is not a boy. The story was brought to you by Jenna Marotta.
‘Star Wars’: George Lucas Would Have Set Third Trilogy in ‘Microbiotic World’ Linked to Midi-Chlorians. The series' creator wanted to build films around creatures called the Whills, foreshadowed in "The Phantom Menace."

George Lucas admitted, “Everybody hated it in ‘Phantom Menace’ [when] we started talking about midi-chlorians.” In terms of his storytelling, Lucas regarded individuals as “vehicles for the Whills to travel around in…And the conduit is the midi-chlorians. The midi-chlorians are the ones that communicate with the Whills. The Whills, in a general sense, they are the Force.”

Lucas is confidant that had he kept his company, the Whills-focused films “would have been done. Of course, a lot of the fans would have hated it, just like they did ‘Phantom Menace’ and everything, but at least the whole story from beginning to end would be told.”

Nope.

The link you provided was bylined by one Jonathan M. Gitlin

At the bottom of the article, you can see his picture next to his name, which is the one I displayed.


So either he wrote it, or he plagiarized it. Makes no difference. In the instance of your original link, the story was brought to you by Soy Boy.

6ixStringJack, you and George Lucas have got two things in common: you both have a great deal of confidence in your judgment and might once have had glorious pasts, but you both have lost your golf balls in the rough. You both are wandering around lost inside your own heads:

James Cameron: You were creating a religion, George.

George Lucas: Back in the day, I used to say ultimately what this means is we were just cars, vehicles, for the Whills to travel around in. We're vessels for them. And the conduit is the midi-chlorians. The midi-chlorians are the ones that communicate with the Whills. The Whills, in a general sense, they are the Force.

JC: But you're putting detail and a facade of science around an idea that’s pretty timeless, which is the spirit, the soul, heaven, causation. ... But in your world-building, you're going back to archetype, which is spirit, the godhead, all that sort of thing.

GL: All the way back to — with the Force and the Jedi and everything — the whole concept of how things happen was laid out completely from [the beginning] to the end. But I never got to finish. I never got to tell people about it.

And thank God and Buddha, George Lucas never did finish. But I wish he had kept secret his crazy plans for future Star Wars.

SGG,

You said that you don't care who the protagonist is, as long as the story is good, which I personally agree with.

The article I linked to is about a group of, as you say, hateful trolls who have a different viewpoint. Unfortunately, although they are a small slice of fandom, they are a vocal slice, and when they are supported, even passively, their voice is magnified.

All I was getting at is that while you and I are largely on the same page, there are some folks who are far more negative in their viewpoint. Different viewpoints are perfectly acceptable... but some are just straight-up garbage.

As far as I'm concerned it's all about the story.....period!
The lead actor could be an orangutan for all I care, if the story sucks, sorry you have a flop on your hands.



Seems there are them as don't agree with you.

Sometimes Gwek, all it takes is a simple explanation.
Thanks for taking the time to point out a few things to me.
