In that scenario I fear Lucasfilm would have turned into Filoni’s fanfiction playground. I’m glad we aren’t living in that world.
Wait what? I am actually living in that world. Can you help me build a transdimensional portal so I can come to your timeline, where Lucasfilm isn’t just Dave Filoni’s fan-fiction playground?
i’m actually laughing out loud because yes since Clone Wars we have been living in Dave’s world with Star Wars.
I don’t think George had an intention of making sequels reading the artbooks it was Kathy Kennedy who decided on a sequel trilogy when she was VP. And by all accounts the original characters were going to be cameos at best, and not even characters at worst. Since Disney wanted their own stamp on Star Wars. George showing Rick Carter and the art department his treatment is very bizarre since he had sold the company.
