  • Is George Lucas returning to Lucasfilm to snatch Star Wars away from Kathleen Kennedy and Bob Iger? Um, probably not. But who knows? There's a rumor out there that he's returning to do at least one more Disney+ series, but why would he do it at nearly 80 years of age? Stranger things have happened...

      @@arthurpendragon3000 you need to understand, none of our generation tended to be men of their word. Overwhelmingly. A handshake was as good as a written contract between most men. Yes, it’s true, even in our day, the written contract was best, but he had signed a contract selling to them and they gave their word, a verbal contract, to use the three treatments and to make those movies. They violated that.
      In the modern courts, would that carry any weight? Probably not. But among people, among men of our generation, it does.
      I’ll believe George Lucas is going to come back and associate with when I see it. And if he does come back, I hope this time he pins them to the wall, with a hard-core contract, giving him total control of everything including setting the budget. The contract must stipulate that Disney is permitted no input of any kind. No creative input, no decisions on budget, no DEI. No decisions or input on cast. Nothing.
      I can’t see Disney agreeing to that, since they don’t give a crap about making money, they only care about their work, sociopolitical and sociosexual agenda, narrative, and making every movie a propaganda piece for that. And I sincerely hope that George Lucas would not put up with that and would not permit himself to be subject to additional damage to his name and reputation beyond the damage that they have already done.

So if you want the company you founded to live on as a part of a massive conglomerate like Disney, you put someone in charge who can't be pushed around. She's just clueless about Star Wars.

    Even if he came back, the fans already know which side he is on... He had his chance to save Star Wars and he stood next to Iger, when kicking Iger out would yave been a very good first step to restore faith in Star Wars... Yet, he didnt.
    At this point in time, the fans feel as apathetic to Lucas as Lucas is to them...

      @@animezilla4486 oh good, an airhead feminist troll. A conclusion I confidently reach from your immediate result to that most favored if all feminist tactics: witless SIGN language.
      There is nothing at all stupid about the idea. The anti-sequel trilogy is a travesty, violates just about everything already set by the original movies in the franchise. They are, as movies, a range from merely “meh” in the case of “The Force Awakens”, a movie that made the box office it did not on its own merits but due almost solely to the pent-up demand for the three remaining planned movies for the franchise that Lucas had written treatments for-and that Disney tossed in favor of making high budget/low quality sociopolitical and sociosexual propaganda pieces-to the pathetic nonsense that was the final excretion in the series, chock full of plot points that ran the gamut from senseless to ridiculous. All while disrespecting the original characters, marginalizing and emasculating the new male characters, and trashing the central tenets of the “Star Wars” universe already established.
      Repudiating them, and any connection to the franchise save as object lessons in what sorts of stories NOT to do, and starting over by producing the three movies originally planned by Lucas and for which he provided detailed treatments. Assuming Disney/LucasFilm could produce those movies without resorting to their usual twisted iteration of DEI and attempting to cram them full of their standard brand of woke, explicitly sexist, blatantly misandristic, emotionally hysterical sociopolitical and sociosexual agenda and narrative that audiences have shown through the abject failure of theater attendance and streaming service viewing statistics and disappointing box office revenues that they do not appreciate and will not tolerate, the three treatment based movies would be logical extensions of the previous six movies, and would be consistent with the internal logic of the fictional universe they established. Something that cannot be said for the anti-sequel trilogy.
      I presume that you are nearly beside yourself with excitement and anticipation over the upcoming “The Acolyte” excretion? Have you decided yet how you are going to blame everything on the mythical “loud negative minority of fans”, on men, on misogyny, and on the patriarchy, when it inevitably experiences an even more catastrophic failure and hits the wall with an even more sickening splat than did the I’ll-begotten trailer they released for it? Have you chosen what multiple colors you are going to dye your hair for the viewing? I’m just curious.

    IMHO there isn't a snowballs chances in Hades that George Lucas will return to Star Wars. Kathleen Kennedy has intentionally besmirched George's legacy and the franchise is irrevocably damaged beyond repair. Also given Lucas's age, he doesn't have enough time to even repair the damage and create something that people actually want to see. Lastly he has no creative control and IF he does return, he will have to bend the knee to Disney's DEI agenda.

"Fear not," they seem to proclaim, "for the maestro himself orchestrates this symphony!" Yet, in reality, it's little more than a clever ruse, a flashy sleight of hand designed to woo back the throngs of alienated fans who've grown weary of Disney's rendition of Star Wars, a saga that now feels more like a high-budget fanfic dressed in the trappings of its former glory.

The last being during their divorce. She even won an academy award for editing one of them. The original editors on the last two had really effed them up. And he re-paid her by not giving her ANY ownership in Star Wars. She literally helped build it, & he screwed her over. Even when she helped him out by editing the last movie DURING their divorce!! Totally changes my opinion of him.

      I’m sorry, but given that the divorce court and family loss system is heavily female - biased, she made out like a bandit. She took him for a ton in the divorce. It was absolutely no reason nor incentive for him to give her half of the franchise.any man who would’ve done that would’ve been a fool.
      Her skills as an editor instrumental and contributing to the success of the three movies? Absolutely. Was her contribution more important than that of George Lucas is the creator of the franchise? Not even remotely. She was one small piece of the puzzle. He was the one who gathered the pieces together and assembled them.
      She did her part, she got her pay, and she got a hefty sum in the divorce settlement. She could’ve had effective ownership of Star Wars right along with him by staying and making the marriage work. She didn’t. Probably he didn’t either. They’re both to blame. But by no stretch of the imagination did he “screw her over”. Star Wars was his baby. She just contributed it to it, like any other editor would have. That she was the right fit as editor for George Lucas’s films, was a happy circumstance, and a big risk on his part. It is rarely successful or a good thing working with family, or working with a spouse. They prove to be that rare exception. And she did no favor during the divorce editing that final film. It was a job, nothing more. And she earned her pay. Nothing more.
