George wasn’t going to make sequels he was going to make Star Wars underworld and that never got made.
Disney’s priority was to make a commercial for a theme park. And to sell toys. Other ancillary merchandise. Storytelling was never as important as corporate planning was. They have shareholder calls and meetings, corporate boards and governance. Quarterly quotas.
Yeah, for me his ideas for Underworld sure seem a lot more intriguing than what we’ve learnt of his Sequel Trilogy outlines. 👍
A pity we never got to see that - especially given the writing talents assorted for the series (though some aspects of it have been rejigged for stories in other SW series since?).
Edit: thought I’d replied to this - obviously not.
It’s so hilarious to me to see some people here so overly touchy about Lucas that they’re getting annoyed at outline ideas that I think do pitch distinct enough ideas comparably to Disney’s ST. It’s like a grasping of defenses for Disney’s lack of creativity to me.
From a bad-faith PT/GL fan seemingly on here to bait members and their views… that doesn’t mean much. That’s how many of your posts come across on here - I hope to be proven wrong on that; I suppose we’ll see… in the usual threads that PT/GL zealots usually post in.
Meanwhile, like others here, I’ll just be ignoring your posts and those of other PT/GL zealots… often talking at - yet not actually engaging with members here, or looking to learn differing POVs. Posting with a close mind on here, ignoring points made in posts, jumping in on others’ conversations in an insincere manner, then switching to another attempt at a ‘gotcha’… it is like a bad TFn circle-jerk; trolling, baiting, and posting in bad faith…
Life is just too short for all that.
