I think he’s right about that. I also think that’s why recent entries have been (for me) so much better than the Lucas films. Rogue One, The Mandolorian, and Visions have been as big to me as a fan as the 1970s. They aren’t tethered to that BS ”original vision” lie of Lucas.
Free of his smothering involvement, writers and directors have been able to explore the vastness of the GFFA. Similar to the way the EU novels have been for decades.
