George Lucas' Sequel Trilogy Full Treatment Revealed - The Truth
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 04. 2021
- The George Lucas sequel trilogy is one I wish we all got to see. It's one I know George wishes that we got to see, as it was the intended ending to his 9 episodic saga. Regardless of what your consensus of the Disney Sequels are, I support you and you have a place here on Star Wars Theory.
There is a constant rhetoric that George's sequel trilogy doesn't exist, or that it was exactly as how Disney created it. This is not true.
In this video, I will provide receipts, evidence, and literature unravelling George Lucas' sequel trilogy, from George Lucas, himself.
The information in this video comes mainly from The Star Wars Archives Episodes 1-3 1999-2005 by Paul Duncan.
I highly recommend this book. It is phenomenal, and provides every Star Wars fan with endless information about the Galaxy Far, Far away.
I think The Mandalorian, now with Luke Skywalker, will take heavy inspiration from George Lucas' sequel trilogy that we learn about in this book. I think Luke collecting Grogu/Baby Yoda, is along the same lines as what George wanted Luke to do in his sequel trilogy treatment that we learn about here with Darth Maul and Darth Talon, the new Palpatine and Vader.
Luke finding Jedi from Order 66 after Return of the Jedi, is something I feel would have really helped continue the story from 6 AND 3, Revenge of the Sith.
Let me know what you think about this sequel trilogy from George that he wanted to make. That he had ALREADY started production on, as he says, in the book!
Again, regardless if you loved the sequels or did not find it palatable, I support your opinions and I'm glad you enjoy Star Wars.
May the force be with you, ALWAYS!!!

Thanks for watching.
What do you think Ahsoka is going to be about? Do you think it’ll have her as a teenager (presumably right after the Clone Wars), or as a fully grown adult, which will star Rosario Dawson again?
You know for George to get manipulated like how Anikan did, just shows anyone can fall for more money/power.
He should've seen the signs before, I know he did.
Disney did what the Sith do each other, stab u in the back for more power. And they stab George in the back.
There can only be two, one to Embody power and one to crave it
Bob Iger is the dark lord
Kathleen Kennedy is the apprentice
This is my personal opinion, but I would have rather had Rey be a kenobi and finish what anakin and kenobi never did. But honestly, 8 and 9 were not starwars. A but more pizzaz to 8 if you know what I'm saying.
Why does Darth Krayt always get left out of the discussion on sequels?
I loved the sequels
I would have preferred Lucas's sequels but, the man needed to raise his daughter. He needed to live. I respect that.
I like the story except for Maul living in the sequel trilogy. The story is solid all a round
@@Im_connorreviews where did it say maul lived in the sequal trilogy?
@@koreoprezzii it was part of the plan, star wars theory already made a video on it. He would be one of the larger bad guys
@@PhantomRX oh lmao no i didnt, i just started rn 😂.
Thought u were talking abt the disney sequels and there was a book or something that said mauls alive idk
Just think about all the people who give up on their children just to pursue a career George Lucas thankful he didn’t do that he gave it away to Disney to raise his daughter to be a good dad yeah it said we didn’t get his trilogy but at least he did something good in the end race his kid
Ah man... It all ending with Luke having restarted the Jedi and Leia being the Supreme chancellor is such a perfect ending to the overall trilogy of trilogies. It would be a further redemption to anakins fall.
It should have had yuzhong vong invasion IMO. But Jihadi former stormtroopers is a unique twist too...
That’s pretty much what’s implied at the end of Return of the Jedi… hence the title.
and it rhymes!!
right, the title of the rebellion was the alliance to restore the republic like that would have actually made it full circle and more symbolic
@@harlemraider3347 or it can also be called return of the jedi referring to vader returning to being jedi knight anakin saving his son killing the emperor
It physically pains me how Disney just took this amazing franchise and set it on fire the way they did. KK and auger betrayed George’s trust with ruining his literal life’s work and passion project and I can’t imagine how he feels. They have no respect for him at all and it’s so sad
you summed it up perfectly. i absolutly love disney but what they did was so hard to see
What gets me is how the Lucas sequels ticked so any boxes: The Force is Female- Lea becomes the Supreme Chancellor. Original fans- get to see Luke rebuild the Jedi. Prequel fans - Darth Maul is an underworld Boss. Legends fans: That Twilek Sith girl etc. The story sounds so good but I guess Kathleen Kennedys massive ego wouldn't allow it.
Oh well
They were inept because they lacked comprehension.

What disney has done to Star Wars is unforgivable
Yeah it’s disgusting what they did.. ruining Star Wars for their woke garbage feminist agenda
Milked it dry without any care. It's what they do.
@@ataturujust like how they made Luke drink that green milk 😢
@@InserthouseIt felt cheap to treat the biggest secret ‚blue milk‘ of all time like that. At least he should have used the *force* to milk the animal 😅
@@InserthouseI loved that milk scene, i wish there was more.
Exec A: "Hey George has this idea for a full sequel trilogy."
Exec B: "Ok, cool. Let's throw that away"
Exec A: "And do what?"
Exec B: "We don't know"
Exec A: "Sounds Perfect"
This perfectly encapsulates the stupidity of Disneys idea
I'm not sure he was guaranteed anything, though? And they may have seen initial story points as too controversial... (Whills etc)
@@chrissonofpear1384 I don't think it was confirmed but from what I've heard they heavily hinted at the fact that they would use his story and he sold assuming that
*somehow palpatine has returned*
Yeah, great job throwing away the creators ideas.
@@shaggyfrankdizzl at one point Lucas wanted Darth Talon and Darth Maul to be the villains of the sequel trilogy. So not completely original ideas
It baffles me that anyone thought it was a good idea to start a trilogy without planning the whole thing out
They should have written it as one movie and cut it into 3 parts like Lord of the Rings
The only thing that mattered was pushing woke agenda and having strong female leads and people of colour showcased in prominent positions of power, deposing any white males, which had to be shown as weak/stupid/always wrong, it was the only thing they cared about. It is THE narrative and the true sequel trilogy was not explicitly designed to that so it had to go.
This is what happens when fascists are in power.
Left wing fascists are in power.
Someone thought it was a good idea to do a saga that involved 3 trilogies and didn't plan the whole thing out.....then sold it before it was finished.
Right? I enjoy the sequels, have a bit of a harder time with 9. But wtf? Why did they think that was good idea? Why throw out the original creator's treatment if you're not going even to get your treatment anyway? It's so dumb.
money money money ehhheeeeeehehehehehheee money money money delicious mmmmmmm ehehehheheheeeeehee
For those that were not alive when the original trilogy was released: I *REMEMBER* reading about George Lucas publicly saying he had a story outline for _NINE MOVIES,_ with *STAR WARS [1977],* *THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK [1980],* and *RETURN OF THE JEDI [1983]* being the _middle three_ of the nine. This information became public either around the time the first movie premiered in 1977, or sometime BETWEEN that movie's release was release of *EMPIRE* in 1980.
This is NOT some NEW INFORMATION that got revealed around or after the time DISNEY purchased LucasFilm.
Agreed, it was common knowledge in the late 70's, early 80's. I remember Lucas doing a number of interviews during press junkets for the original movies and saying he had three trilogies in mind. I couldn't imagine at the time how he would do that, it would take years and years (shows how young I was, lol). Then he stopped after the first trilogy and I figured he had changed his mind.
@@insertclevernamehere2506 >>> 👍
It never was a secret. 1977 Star wars started right out in the beginning listing as episode 4 in the screen crawl! It was understood right from the beginning that there were going to be more. I remember walking out of the theater wondering when the next one was going to come out.
@@ghosthand8119 >>> I have read a few comments online saying the original *STAR WARS* movie from 1977 did NOT say that in the original screen crawl. HOWEVER, I saw that film multiple times in cinemas when it was released -- I was 16 at the time -- and I could SWEAR I remember reading that on the screen crawl text.
@@ghosthand8119 the original star wars had no episode in the screen crawl, it didnt even say a new hope. empire strikes back released theatrically with episode V in the crawl. lucas announced the 3 trilogy plan in between star wars and empire strikes back and applied the episode sub titles when empire released.
The Darth Maul Crime Lord storyline in Clone wars was FANTASTIC and I remember thinking that it deserved an entire season instead of being crowded together. There were plenty of filler episodes in that season that didn't need to be there.
episode 7 - organized crime syndicates cause new problems for a greenhorn new republic, an ancient evil escapes from prison
episode 8 - whole planets and systems, even whole chunks of the galaxy, break away to form their own rival governments, ISIS-style terrorism becomes major threat. return of the Sith, which uses crime syndicates to return to major power.
episode 9 - crime syndicates, ex-stormtroopers, rival governments unify under one banner to attempt to re-take the burgeoning republic, (maybe a new outside threat like the yuzong vong come in to help them?), Is called the ‘New Sith empire’, openly led by Maul or Talon (or maybe Sifo Diyas…?).
it would probably be 7 organizing and whole systems and planets joining crime lords the new republic / whoever Lucas would call them Skywalker isnt helping leia because hes busy with jedi so leia and Han handle the crime but it doesn't work out 8 would probably be about Skywalker trying to train jedi and having problems because of crime and corruptness so he join they begin fighting some of the crime business but after they try to fight them they join together and unite under the new Sith empire like Crazysilly said and Maul and Talon is shown to be the ones behind this andboom conflict
@@Stallins_ALT and the Yuzong Vong come in at some point to further complicate things, either helping the Sith/crime lords, or starting a 3-way conflict. Or the Sith could team up with the Jedi to stop the larger threat of the Yuzong Vong? Or maybe this should be episode 10-12, a separate trilogy with a separate story arc about the Vong.

Perfect👌
The guy didnt even worked that much on the originals and only "worked" on the sequel so what knowledge are we talking about here ?
The idea of Jon and Dave casually reworking George's sequel trilogy in between episode 6 and 7 without just making 3 films, instead making multiple series and seasons, just gave me the biggest smile on my face. Gotta love this kind of passion!
Lets hope kennedy wont ruin it. LETS HOPEEE
I really hope dave does more star wars stuff cuz it seems the dude has a passion for it more than most others in the business
@@joumanahaddad7576 It’s in good hands, those guys pour their hearts into their work, look at what Jon did for Iron Man back in 2008 with the first Iron Man Movie.
Star Wars is in a tough spot right now so like you say, let’s hope these guys bring it back to glory.
@@joumanahaddad7576 Kennedy hasn’t ruined Mandalorian or Rogue One for example. Stop blaming these things on one single person.
@@northtimo666 yes but im afraid she would get into the way of john and dave, this is waht i hope wont happen, it already happened with gina carano, what next?
I wish George would just write a script of these for us to read. Even if we never get a movie, it would probably be the best bet to see it all.
I bet he has something written. Unfortunately it will never be released I guess
I don't think writing is his strong suit. It was enough for him to get his ideas in text and film for 1-6.

I would have loved to have seen George's vision actually pan out for the Sequel Trilogy. How he wanted to continue the story makes sense and sounds so intriguing. It's truly a shame we didn't get to see it.
Same Disney’s is shit not gonna lie lol
As soon as they said "Darth Maul" I tuned out. Lucas knew how valuable it was to keep Vader alive after _Star Wars,_ but just killed Maul off in _The Phantom Menace._ How dumb was that?
Sequel rewrite on my channel
As a long time Star Wars fan, I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos. May the Force be with you.
Same lol
Darth talon would be a good move
Thanks I appreciate it
Always
Ditto
Old Maul vs grand master Luke is something that would of been mind blowing
Sadly, Maul already died before A New Hope.
Maul needs a buff otherwise he'd lose hard
@@Muhammad_Nuruddin that happened recently, by 2012 maul wasnt dead yet.
I enjoyed Maul’s death in Rebels I thought it was tastefully done
Maul would get his ass handed to him.
i think the biggest reason why george did star wars so right is because he really thought about how it all fit together. i rewatched the phantom menace the other day and was really impressed at how the story just flowed so well and made sense the whole way through. you can tell he thinks about things in advance and plans these movies out
The Phantom Menace feels like they were making it up as they were filming it.
@@ChynaFearsBuckwheat2001 No. It’s just you. Don’t know why your interpretation is that way.
Lol GL made up everything as they Filmed. The reason Luke kisses Leia is because GL didn’t write them as twins yet.
@@rebelpunk13 Original trilogy yes, not prequels. OT was winging it all the way, but PT was pretty much set in stone.
Yeah! Totally I still have the 1st version of the DVDs and his college professor said he was his most excellent philosophy student 🎉
Lucas’ Rolling Stone interview from the ‘70s is worth a read. In it, he describes how he was planning to release Episodes 4, 5, and 6, then a Wookiee movie, then Episodes 1, 2, and 3, then a Droids movie, then Episodes 7, 8, and 9, and then a Bounty Hunters movie--12 movies in all. What’s interesting is that Between the Holiday Special, the 2 Ewoks films, and the Ewoks cartoon series, you basically get a sense of the aforementioned Wookiee film. Also, if you look at the Droids cartoon and the upcoming Droids series, we’re essentially going to get our Droids movie. AND if you look at the aborted Underworld series, the Maul stories on Clone Wars (and Rebels), The Mandalorian, and The Book of Boba Fett, you can see George’s sequel trilogy and the Bounty Hunters movie.
I never noticed that playing out. I wonder how much Lucas is drip feeding his original ideas into the ear of Favreau and Filoni and they’re slowly but surely incorporating it into their works.
Making the sequels about “the daughter and grandchildren “ is a beautiful idea. 😢
Which is what Disney did it was just a different granddaughter then Lucas had expected
@@keaganholman4863 palpatines granddaughter? Lol ok
@@keaganholman4863 Even that wasn't done properly; meanwhile, Leia Skywalker is turned into Mary Poppins.
@@shabnamrafique3638 Ugh, don't remind me...
@@keaganholman4863
But that’s not what they did.
Daisy has said they had no fucking idea what they were doing with Rey.
Nothing but respect to George for wanting to raise his daughter. I wish Disney would have held off on a sequel trilogy and left the door open for him to return with his ideas some day if he wanted to
George is a fantastic story and ideas guy. Great at world building. I wish they had used his stories and made a screenplay and got other directors to shoot it.
The key problem with the sequel trilogy is that they had no story to tell, they were creatively bankrupt so they asked the directors to wing it. They resorted to undoing the past stories in order to rehash them, just creating minimal plot to justify making more movies.
AMEN.
@@Arjun-eb1yc When I'd heard Episodes 7, 8 and 9 were coming, I felt the EXCITEMENT of being a kid again in 1977! And after watching Episode 7... I was like....😕😮😑....WTF??
agreed i wish disney just left Georges skywalker movies on hiatus, and from day 1 just made their own unique trilogy totally seperate, leaving the door open in the future if george ever wanted to come back and finish his 7 to 9 trilogy.
@@Arjun-eb1yc and funny enough Lucas gave them a script to work off of instead they threw it in the garabe can
I just have to say that George's blueprint for Luke's end is epic and the real way that he would go. Imagine in Episode 9 that maybe his child falls to the dark side and his compassion saves them just like it saved Anakin and at the end after he gives his last lesson and farewell, he gives his life so his children can live like he wanted Anakin to at the end of RotJ. Now that would be a respectful way to end the story of Luke Skywalker.

I love you. Your content is high quality and you're such a positive, welcoming person. Thank you.
Imagine having the goat’s blueprint for the sequels and then throwing it away for the storyline that we got...
Had fans not ridiculed him into depression for the prequels...pretty much the same they are doing with Disney...Kellie Marie Tran...you know history repeats itself in the fandom. Lucas made 3 great films and 3 average films.
@@StarWarsFanatic You are vastly uninformed about the Kelly Marie Tran situation, she wasn't bullied off social media it was on her own accord she left, she said so herself, not because of fans "bullying" her, she has never claimed so, so why are you putting words in her mouth?
@@StarWarsFanatic don’t disrespect ROTS like that
George’s blueprint stopped after 9 films. Disney wanted to leave the door open for 10, 11, and 12
@@willlewis153 Successfully rebuilding the republic in 7-9 totally leaves on an open "end". You could've milked the franchise with this story even better than with Rey "Skywalker" 🤢
Didn’t know George was about to have a kid when he sold Star Wars. Definitely changes my perspective on it. As painful as it is for fans, he made the right choice. Family first always
@A Zee I didn’t realize that at all. Makes me respect George a lot for making that choice. Probably the hardest one he ever had to make
I just wish my parents see it that way Will Lewis, but to them money first and then family
@@willlewis153 and Disney stabbed him in the back for it
Does anyone else think he was a bit old at that stage?
Poor guy. He had to sell a company he had worked on for decades and he had suffered a massive influx of criticism from the media a few years prior.
I really wish Disney had tried to make his sequel trilogy. Lucas has amazing ideas and, in my opinion, they are best executed when he gives them to talented directors like Irvin Kirshner. What a missed opportunity.
This video is one of the highlights on your channel for me, because I got inspired to buy the two Star Wars Archives books when I watched this video originally. I'm currently reading Original Trilogy, then I will get into the juicy Prequel Archives. Thanks for the inspiration.
I just finished reading Lucas’s biography titled George Lucas: A Life, and I can confirm the similar ideas for the sequel trilogy also appeared in the book. It’s deplorable for us, the fans, seeing George’s vision buried deep without any redemption opportunities since Carrie Fisher has left the world.
I love that book as well and it gave such insight into his history and thought processes. What did you think of the details in there about the first drafts of "The Star Wars" 😏
I died laughing at "the big green slug, Han Solo" 🤣
Can’t they bring in someone else or is Carrie the only Leia we could have?
what can i say
that's life, we never get a good ending
we'll, it really has a good ending, but right now, we're far from a happy ending
That's pretty interesting. Would you be willing to give some details of these ideas mentioned in the biography?
@@Crick1952 Hey, that part made me grinning from ear to ear too! 😂 I was fascinated with how big of influence Kurosawa’s movies on George, especially Hidden Fortress and The Seven Samurai. I recently copped those two movies’ Criterion Collection but haven’t found the right time yet. I trust watching them would be illuminating for the context of the Star Wars universe. Cheers 🍻
Disney did the final trilogy so wrong. As a Star Wars fan I would’ve loved to see the movies come full circle and for the Jedi Order and Republic to be rebuilt once again. George really knew what Star Wars fans wanted. Just so sad that his vision didn’t come to fruition.
if someone makes the actual George Lucas sequels, it would be the best that ever happened for the Star Wars community
Honestly Disney was just trying to make as much money as possible and because of the severe reaction to the prequels they thought making the sequel trilogy as different to the prequels and as similar to the originals as possible was the way to go. The problem with Disney is that they had no artistic vision like Lucas would have had. They were only basing it on trying to make fans happy. The Force Awakens was made to please fans who hated the prequels. The Last Jedi was made for fans who hated The Force Awakens. The Rise of Skywalker was made to for fans who hated The Last Jedi.
I don’t like resuscitating Maul again but overall yes, I would’ve preferred the full circle drastically more than zombie Palpatine
@@nickmhc I actually like Maul coming back, I just wish they didn’t make him this sad, broken, complex character and kept him as this savage monster like character who mostly communicates with grunts and growls.
I would've loved it wasn't fully rebuilt but implied a happy future for a new generation of Jedi that will do things differently than the old guard.
You say that bringing back Darthmaul would have been weird, but what about Disney resurrecting Palpatine?
Also a very bad choice.
false equivalence darth maul isnt a sith lord (even in george's st, he was an expendable asset to palpatine who was the true mastermind and villain of the star wars saga, by bringing him back it makes everything that happened in the originals invalid including anakin's sacrifice
He said he doesn't like the sequel trilogy and personally doesn't consider it to be canon (same), so he likely doesn't agree with Disney resurrecting Palpatine. IMO it undermines Anakin's redemption/sacrifice at the end of VI.
@@Luncea28 he says they're not part of his vision, im sure he doesnt like the trilogy but he's not allowed to criticize because of some sort of contract he signed
The darth maul character arc created by the clone wars was great. If he was already brought back by the show, it’d make sense to have him hang low till that new trilogy. Palpatine was either in space or in the Death Star when it exploded. The idea of him being powerful enough to survive was kinda stupid, given the lore. Maybe he lives as a spirit like other sith did in the old republic or something, but def can’t live. That just felt like Disney was lazy and didn’t wanna create a new villain and copied the OT.
Considering what we actually got, I would’ve rather they claimed that Mace Windu survived his fall on coroscant by using the dark side of the force and turned into a sith, since he already utilizes the dark side of the force anyway. That’d also create a joke in Star Wars lore that if someone falls, it doesn’t mean that they died. But what we got was straight up lazy. Didn’t learn about Snoke or the Knights of Ren really and the good guys won by the power of “friendship.” It’s a load of Disney princess movie crap
This was good! Thank you for being this much of a fan!
It breaks my heart every time I hear how George was treated. He deserves so much more and I'm so happy to see Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni making a Star Wars George can be proud of!
Yeah, that $4 billion paycheck was awful.
@@RicardoGonzalez-fb9li Okay?
Not going to lie, Dave Filoni really nerfed certain characters like Grievous. In cw 2003 grievous was op which he should be.
@@dihainthegreat Yeah, Grievous was pretty badass back then, but CW 2003 was kinda like Samurai Jack in how the fights were and all that, so maybe just a product of its time or something.
@@DeadintheDark lets hope dave filoni fixes this
It would be interesting if in a few years Dave and John ask to make a trilogy meant to honor George’s storyline as much as possible that could replace 7-9. I think Disney might be down considering the backlash they got from the films and the fact that Dave and John have made some of the best Star Wars content ever for the fans, and Disney knows that.
Jon and Dave are far from GL. They have a lot learn regarding SW-making. Lightsaber fights are something GL did to perfection and Jon/Dave have not mastered it yet.
disney announced a new rey movie i guess and carrie has passed and mark is pretty old so im 99.9% thats never going to happen
@@GamesWithBrainz There are rumors that Kathleen Kennedy will be fired or quietly moved somewhere else in the company soon. If this happens then it's at least possible that we'll get good stories in the series again, regardless of who's starring in them.
Too bad the original cast is too old now (or passed away). We had one chance at the sequel trilogy, and they blew it.

Amazing video. Really loved the information and the point that the Mandalorian and the series post Episode VI will carry that spiritual legacy that George wanted to bring for the sequel trilogy, which gives me hope as I really like what Goerge had in mind.
I love you Star Wars theory. You share the same love and passion for the franchise as I do. Truly admirable the work you’ve done
Imagine Dave, Jon and George getting together and re doing the sequels... just , just imagine man... and dear Carrie is still with us to join it... :'(
I still think it can be done, especially if they can bring Peter Cushing back from the dead. Have her daughter or an actress that looks similar play her then CGI Leia onto her. Either that or make it entirely CGI. Yes, it wouldn’t be the same, but it would at least finish the story properly.

Awesome content, thanks for making this - very small critique - your "S" sounds in your voice really pierce - just an eq calibration, but I wanted to mention it because at times it makes it difficult to listen to. Maybe just an isolated voice among many, but perhaps worth looking into. Appreciate your love for Star Wars, just want myself and others to be able to enjoy your content to the fullest. All the best.
I would give anything for George just to say: “so guys lets redo 7-9, call it something different for copyright issues and just forget what Disney created” literally anything…

There's no reason they can't. With what they're able to do in The Volume right now, it might not even need to be animated. I think we'll get there eventually. It's just going to take a long time because a lot of egos have to be moved out of the way.

Just imagine instead of these Disney sequels we would have got George Lucas Original Sequels 😞
Just imagine if fans didnt bully him so much after the prequels that he didnt want to lead star wars anymore.
@@derekhofstetler3998 did you not watch the video? George clearly said he didn’t do the sequels because he wanted to spend the rest of his life with his family. Don’t be so delusional and deal with the facts 🤡
Imagine if we got the Lucas Version like we got the Snyder version
Most of George’s original ideas were implemented in the Disney sequels, and they are likely things you didn’t like. Luke was always going to be a hermit and in exile, both in Disney and George’s sequels
@@charliebatton2826 Luke was never going to be that mean. Jj Abrams shocked everyone at Lukas film with that decision
"I was once apprentice to the most powerful being in the galaxy. I was destined for... so much more. But I was robbed of that destiny." Darth Maul. That quote by him sums up this video.
He was also robbed of legs
George was really bad at letting this guy die in the first movie, after realizing how great it was that Darth Vader survived _Star Wars._
Imagine _The Empire Strikes Back_ without Yoda (because Obi-Wan survives) and without Darth Vader, because Han Solo kills him in the trench battle. Then throw in Ricardo Montalban as Lando Calrissian instead of Billy Dee Williams. You could take down two franchises with one casting!
@@def3ndr887 and his penis
All my homies hate Disney. Lucas forever.
great video!
Honestly, all the fan-made films have more merit and fun compared to Disney's trilogy product. Even your fan-made films are worth watching and waiting for indeed. We need more guys like you SWT instead of some of the non-educated Disney employees who know nothing about Star Wars.
Just there at the beginning with George Lucas stating that it takes him ten years to make a trilogy shows the difference between the quality that he wanted fir Star Wars versus the quantity that Disney attempted.
I would love to see the complete vision of George Lucas.
Disney spent 6-7 years creating their sequels while george spent like 8 years on the originals. Not too much of a difference
George had been writing that original script for years before production began. And let’s not forget that Lucasfilm was also also producing in TV and spin off films during the time of the sequel trilogy’s production. The company was entirely focused on One Star Wars film at a time during both earlier trilogies, with each released at three years intervals.
@@barkley8285
Sure doesn't seem like it lol
@@barkley8285 Three movies in ten years/eight years versus one movie a year for six years is different though.
@@barkley8285 only difference is that Disney runned dry of ideas and George was still fresh
The original treatment would have had a great symbolism to the Mortis arc and sort of tied it all together. The Father, The Son, and The Daughter. I could also see Ahsoka passing on Morai to Leia.
Bro 🤯
To me, this doesn’t sound like a trilogy with enough drama and tension, but I’m sure the plot would have been a bit more fleshed out in The final script. Parts of this I absolutely love, especially the Darth maul stuff. I also think the arc of rebuilding rather than rebooting is also a more logical and intriguing setup.
Despite what Disney and people say, the sequel trilogy to me, is not cannon and it will never be.
Star Wars is George Lucas and without him its not really the same.
I agree
Squeals = Disney fanfiction
It is canon, if you spell canon with dollar signs instead of with letters.
Mandalorian, Rogue One, and Boba Fett are all very Star Wars. The sequels were just a huge failure. Its not necessarily the lack of George Lucas that caused that failure.
Agree, Disney sequels are shit
The first 10 seconds of him explaining
George Lucas ' vision sounds way better than the 7 hours we got from the sequels
Literally everything would be better than those abominations, we got as sequels.
You’re exaggerating
@@rigzmoviediaries654 yes
Lol, right because reusing Maul as a villain is just the freshness that people need coming from sequels
@@dadawg3810 Why would George want Maul to come back...Im actually shocked cuz he defiantly died and it makes no sense to bring him back, Admiral Thrawn would make sense for the sequel trilogy.
One of my best childhood memories was meeting Dave Prowse in full Vader costume at John Menzies in Edinburgh when i was 7 .
He seemed to be 9 feet tall and was terrifying and wonderful.
WoW this was very eye opening. May the Force be with you
Fanfic idea: What if the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise actually WAS a story the Jedi would tell you?
Palpatine: Did you ever hear The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
Anakin: Yep. Sure have.
Palpatine: I thought not. It's... wait, what?
Anakin: The guy who had the power to manipulate the midichlorians and create life? Come on! They teach us that sh*t as younglings.
Palpatine: Then... you know how his apprentice-
Anakin: Killed him in his sleep because he was a little bitch who knew he couldn't take Plagueis in a real fight? Yeah. Heard it a million times.

Haha lol!
True
Rey and Kylo should’ve never existed. Literally the whole sequel trilogy is Rey and Kylo telepathically trying to spook each other and close ups of their faces acting scared
while the reylos stans watch smh
@@fred4825 I’m baffled they’re even a thing, such shitty movies….
Sequel trilogy would be cool if Grogu was the main character as a teenager look alike.
The characters aren’t the problem, it’s the way they’re written. The concept of their characters aren’t bad, it’s mainly the execution
They don't exist in canon.
REALLY!! Thanks for all your time and hard work. Also, I wish things went the way you spelled it out. Yet either way I am on board for what comes next for fun and entertainment
Love this channel it’s so funny I speak about Star Wars almost everyday of my life at my work and stuff people refer to me as the guy who loves cats and Star Wars 😂😂 in my head I’m like I know little to nothing compared to this you tube dude I watch 😂 keep up the amazing work man 🤙🏼🤙🏼
Amazing man , thank you for the great work hope to see lucas’ versions as remakes of the 789 movies heheheh one can only hope right
I love how star wars is not just films, but it gives emotion to real fans who had a connection to a character which is the same as them.

This may sound strange, but when he started to explain what Georges original plan for the next trilogy would be, I actually stopped the video. I realised I felt like I didn't want the story to be spoiled for me, deep down hoping that one day, we will get the true ending we all deserve. George IS Star Wars in my mind.
We already did. The emperor dying on the death star and the chosen one bringing balance. There was no left to go from there. They should have gone back I'm time to do new movies
Curious: Did you feel that way when the "Special Editions" came out. It seems that everyone kinda bailed on George, at least for a time. I waited in lime for Georg's upgrades. It is similar to listening to an exceptional cover song. It can go either way for me. It can be total shite, a misguided attempt at homage, or amazing. (see, Sonic Youth's Carpenter's cover). Some of the (in)famous updates George made were awesome and some just silly, but I loved seeing them in a theater and it reminded me of my 10-year-old self:)
@@craiggallagher7292 I think I must be very rare in that I have never had an issue with any of the updates made. I may have had the originals on VHS when I was a kid but my main memories are of watching them on dvd and beyond. I actually can't across the cut scenes from episode 3 the other day and I wish they had all been included in the actual movie.
Stop being weird and you're never going to get anything other than crap as your Star Wars ending lol
Ok here's a really really crazy theory I have in mind: Ahsoka reboots the sequel trilogy into the ORIGINAL GEORGE LUCAS SEQUEL TRILOGY! Disney sequels are the timeline where Ahsoka was killed by Vader and George's one is where Ahsoka lives. Hope this happens in the Ahsoka show
Great Video
I saved this video. My wife and I have argued SO much about this. She loved Disney's the Sequel Trilogy. I thought they were a dumpster fire. 🤣
So glad you posted this video. I have seen part of the interview you quoted from in another video. But you're video dies a great job capturing the entire interview and breaking it down, succinctly analyzing how Filoni had been righting the ship even as early as The Clone Wars.
Love your content, bro!
I’ve considered the so-called ‘sequel trilogy’ as an alternate timeline. Doesn’t hurt that much. 😂
Exactly the conclusion I came too. As an alternate timeline these movies can even be enjoyable! As the “canon” ending to the Skywalker Trilogy it makes me physically sick to my stomach and violently angry. No one should have had the right to do it but Lucas. We will never ever know the true ending…
Next Star Wars opening crawl: "Due to a rift in space time, the events of the PREQUEL and SEQUEL trilogies never happened."
@@PoochieCollins prequels R great. fight me
@@PoochieCollins honestly I’m okay with the prequels being cannon still. They had flaws sure but they didn’t destroy the existing cannon/timeline, and even added some awesome universe building especially with the other prequel tie-ins. 7-9 though.... it broke my nerdy heart lol
@@youngknowledgeseeker : they're great if you're a kid, as they're kids movies. What I really want to see is the Star Wars universe to fork, one side for kids and the other for adults.
A part of me wishes he didn’t sell Star Wars and instead chose to wait in order to enact his vision. But he wanted to live his life and I respect that. I just feel so bad because Disney completely ruined his franchise and it probably hurt him so much to see it all fall apart.
He couldn't really wait. There's just not enough time left. Disney should've just had the common sense to use his draft
This fault is at the fans feet. George was so let down by the vocal minority on the internet shitting on the prequels *cough*Plinketts dumb ass (seriously why do people take him seriously he doesn't review for shit)*cough*
Let’s not pretend like the Star Wars fans are innocent, the prequels weren’t perfect but the amount of hate he got was unfathomable and it pushed him to sell to Disney in the first place
Now I will say that the cone wars cartoon was necessary to make the prequels work, but still
@@FalconFlyer75 i will say the sequels have made me appreciate the prequels to a whole other level. And to this day, episode 3 to me was the best Star Wars movie ever made. I mean it is just beautiful to me.
@@FalconFlyer75 the prequels were the best in my opinion so much more story and expanding the orginal trilogy perfect dont get me wrong but literally empire strikes back has 1 whole hour of just tryna escape jabba the hutt like damn i wanted to see more and now there already blowing up the death star

That would be awesome
With both being well trained in saber combat
Still would've loved to see him sacrifice himself for the next generation
release the Lucas cut
I'd prefer a fight between Luke and Maul, personally
As much as I love Disney, I think they rushed star wars. It doesn't make sense how they let marvel go for 10+ years, yet they rushed right thru the last trilogy and just changing things without being true to the product. George Lucas is a visionary and should have been listened to.
You're not wrong. What they did with the MCU for the most part was amazing.. although I think Captain Marvel and Rey might have been roommates in college who both got a doctorate in Mary Sue. That said the rate at which they cranked out mostly good movies that tied into each other to tell a major story was dare I say unprecedented. Incredible they could do so much so close together and tie it all in like that was nothing short of incredible. That is what happens with a solid cohesive vision. Without that... You have the Disney Star Wars Trilogy. No idea where it's going and it just got akward and felt wrong.
You love Disney? F Disney cringe woke bs
How come I never watched it before? Thanks for the effort you made to get the truth and objective opinions out there. Thanks for being brave, when there is an irrational mob out there looking to scream at the face of anyone who looks to think critically
“I had planned for the first trilogy to be about the father, the second to be about the son, and the third to be about *THE HOLY SPIRIT* “
-George Lucas, maybe
I was hopping it was about THE FORCE
The father, the son, and the holy force.
The daughter is the Holy Spirit.
The comforter. In the Bible, the original Hebrew uses the feminine word for Holy Spirit. She is the one who gives Jesus strength to carry out his difficult task and unites all of his followers after his ascension. The story of Jesus is a perfect early example of what Joseph Campbell called
The Hero’s Journey.

I think about Star Wars a lot. I'm new to this channel. So far it's really entertaining. I don't hate episode 7. That one was pretty good, more or less. 8 & 9 are failed projects though as far as I'mm concerned. Carrie Fisher was a wonderful person and I miss her dearly. I definitely don't see George's ideas as perfect either. I actually like the idea of adding new characters to the saga, especially since the original actors were getting older, and we lost Carrie herself. I do however think Disney's characters were poorly written. Thank you for sharing this video, it's well done. I also think Darth Talon has an appealing look too.
Awesome 😎 thanks brother!!🙏
This made me tear up. George's version should've happened. Disney handled Star Wars with utter Disrespect. I'll forever curse disney for destroying 40 years of story designs for the sake of their blind arrogance & greed.

I love the shot of what later became the Cantwell-class at 4:08. Such foreshadowing :D
Edit: Spelling
I just realized everything that has been universally loved by fans that has been created by Disney fits with George Lucas' vision. The mandalorian shows us the remnant of the stormtroopers and imperial officers rebelling. It also showed us Luke creating his jedi order. And while the whole cloning thing in the Mandolorian isnt the best, it does delve a little into the biology of the force. Lucas wanted to go into the whills and midiclorians and the cloning plot touches on that a little. Also, the last season of clone wars showed Maul and his power in the underworld.
Hey, maybe ahsoka will be good because it is looking deeper into the rebellion of the left over imperials, maybe Thrawn is taking over the role of maul
Having maul back would’ve made my day. He has one of the best character arcs in my opinion. That was gonna be G O O D.
Yeah I would have loved it. He is my fave character
filoni knew he wont come in sequels and gave a beautiful scene in rebels
I’m really not sure. That just opens up that Maul was smarter than palpatine, that he outlived him and the sequels would’ve just been people scrambling over the scraps of the empire, that just doesn’t sound very significant to me. I like what we got with maul, that he was the victim of Palpatines corruption, that he tried to be a survivor that warned people of the oncoming empire, and tragically died ultimately as a casualty of war brainwashing that he couldn’t recover from.
Sad he killed him off quickly.
Well he did came back =) in the clone wars
A sequel trilogy in which the main villains are Darth Maul in a Tony Montana style and supreme waifu Darth Talon in live-action?
*SAY NO MORE*
Lmao “supreme waifu”
Darth Maul was never my favorite Sith Lord he never had the strength to stand up to Darth Cydia‘s neither did Darth Vader the only Sith Lord ever came close to doing that was Count Dooku
Had Vader reached his full potential he would have the power to take Sidious but as we all know he never would reach that level. But going back to Maul and Talon I love the idea and would go and see that for sure
Maul would have been so perfect to explore the dark side further. We never got much in the movies or shows - only in novels.
Darth Maul was not the right choice for the big bad. It was very obvious in his appearances in the Clone Wars series and even in Rebels that his end in Rebels is the only end he could have. He was obsessed with Obi Wan Kenobi and he kept failing. He would not have been able to stay hidden long enough to be alive by the end of Return of the Jedi. Darth Talon might be good, but Maul got the end he needed.
I know a lot of people have been wanting to see a What If.. series, I've heard that Ahsoka's show is centered on the Veil of Force which could easily lead into that.
I have to admit, even though I'm subscribed to your channel, I wish I would have seen this sooner when you published it. I had to give up on Star Wars because I was so displeased with the way Disney treated Lucas and the direction.. HORRIBLE direction they went with the sequels, in turn I stopped watching anything Star Wars including your channel. Really appreciated this video. Thanks again man. I have started watching your channel again in the hopes that at some point in time the Skywalker saga will be done some sort of justice in the near future.
Leia rebuilding the republic and Luke re-establishing the Jedi reminds me of Legends. I miss Jacen and Jaina so much! I spent much time at the academy on Yavin during my childhood.
100% I thought the new films were gonna do the Jacen/Darth Caedus arc and when I saw them ... yikes
Interesting the father, the son and the daughter makes me think about that clone wars ep... wonder if Lucas made that there to foreshadow if he was planning on making his 3 films
The Mortis Arc!
My favorite arc
omg that makes sense
6:01 is it just me or do i feel like everyone from old photos never smiles?
It's so unfortunate that Feloni and Favreau have to play clean up after the sequels. So many questions. Did Feloni introduce the World between Worlds after the Sequel Trilogy? If Luke can't rebuild the Jedi Order after "Last Jedi", can Ezra fill this role? Can Boba be reestablished as a ruthless crime lord after the events of "Book of Boba Fett"? Or maybe Cad Bane if he somehow survived? I'm excited to see what will happen.
First trilogy was about the father second about the son and the third about the daughter and the grandchildren
*Clone Wars Flashbacks*
MORTIS GODS FLASHBACKS
And if Leia is the Chosen One, then she takes the place of the Father, Anakin the Son, and Luke the daughter. Weird.
Palpating getting friendzoned and then becomes emperor of the galaxy. That’s one hell of a rebound.

Great video keep them coming his way would of been better I believe too bro
Thanks for the video!
At least there was going to be a good story line after ep.6. I read all of the EU and this is along those lines and a least we have those stories
The confirmation of Maul being more involved in the plans for this trilogy makes his appearance in the end of Solo legit. And kind of gives the whole Solo movie stronger legs to stand on.
You know the Solo cameo came after they'd already killed Maul off in Rebels, right? They did the cameo knowing full well where Maul's story would eventually go and how it would end. That, plus the cameo being informed by everything they'd done with Maul in The Clone Wars and Rebels, pretty well negates any plans they would've had for him in a sequel trilogy.
"Legs"

I'm sure you have been asked this, but how do you feel about your perfectly valid predictions now we've seen Disney make them impossible? This was a joy to watch, your effort in going in to this video must have been extensive. If I had watched it back when you released it I would have fully endorsed it, now I am so divorced from Star Wars I got bored halfway through the first episode of Ashoka, and instead of being excited to see the opening scroll of backstory, I just felt it was an insult on the film that made me the man I am today.
Great video, George's sequels sound amazing
