Lol, love the idea of Christ as filmmaker. He would have a perfect vision, but he would be surrounded by Yes men and his work would be misinterpreted by generations to come.

SparkySywer is right though about Lucas’ statements on his sequel trilogy being contradictory. I recall even a single quote by him being somewhat contradictory.

Don’t have the quote on hand, but he basically says that there would be “no stormtroopers” in his sequels, but during that same answer he talks about how the stormtroopers would be like the Muhadjideen fighters, who wouldn’t give up and find their own little corners of the galaxy to bide their time in.

Also, I do think there is a bit of irony in how fiercely people will defend the idea of the Saga being the story of Anakin, and be offended by the idea that the ST undermines Anakin’s position as the Chosen One, when George himself said he was going to make Leia the Chosen One in his Sequel Trilogy. We treat his work as religious text when he’s making it up on the fly.

But I do think the fact that other people are expanding on his work does make it more like the mythologies that George likes Star Wars being compared to.
