And recognizes that he literally participated in making TFA. you can say his contributions weren’t meaningful but he was there.
He wasn’t though as I quoted above and again here through Bob Iger:
"Early on, Kathy brought J.J. and Michael Arndt up to Northern California to meet with George at his ranch and talk about their ideas for the film. George immediately got upset as they began to describe the plot and it dawned on him that we weren’t using one of the stories he submitted during the negotiations.
The truth was, Kathy, J.J., Alan, and I had discussed the direction in which the saga should go, and we all agreed that it wasn’t what George had outlined."
I believe George and Mark Hamill over a corporation whose only objective was and is to make something for the fans and to please them. Same with picking the narrative they want people to believe. Then they get upset when George, Marcia Lucas, Howard Kazanjian, and some fans are disappointed because there’s nothing new or they don’t try to understand the rules of Star Wars.
