See if the Wayback machine can let you peek back at Supershadow. He had them before Luca$ got them and sold them to Di$ney.
EDIT: Supershadow.com/starwars/episode7/plot.html is the address, which you'll need to plug into web.archive.org. It's worth it!
To Hal 9000, you listen!
I think all that Disney has from George, is a couple legal pads covered in doodles and lists of names.
And at the top: "CAPTAIN PHASMA"
In spite of the popularity of picking on George Lucas, I personally still have a lot of respect for the man. That said, I am sure the new movies will be great, but I wish that Disney had not completely discarded his treatments as it sounds like they have. I feel respect for the original creator's ideas, even with liberal interpretation, would have been a good thing.

You're such a reasonable Conservative! :p

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Disney throwing out the treatments thing is wishful thinking on the part of those who think that anything created by Lucas is inherently bad. Lucas said he didn't recognize anything in the first teaser, but he also said that he hasn't been following the development of TFA. Maybe it just so happens that nothing from the treatments was included in the first teaser.
Wasn't there talk sometime back that Arndt's screenplay -- and presumably the Lucasian ideas it was developed from -- was being used as a template for the Ep. VIII screenplay?
I always pictured Bob Iger closing the deal with Lucas in his office, pouring on the usual sweet talk. Lucas reminds him about the story treatments that come with the deal, which Iger takes and sets down on the desk. Once Lucas signs the deal, Iger politely ushers him on his way. Turning back in to face the desk, he takes notice of the treatments. He pauses for a moment, and tosses them in the trash bin.
I honestly think it went something like this. Lucas heard that Disney wanted to make new movies after the purchase of Lucasfilm, and hastily came up with story "treatments" as an afterthought. He then tells Kathleen Kennedy that these story treatments represent his "original vision" for the franchise that he had in '76. Kennedy's thinking "well, I don't know, let's see if we can get someone to make sense of this," and hires Michael Ardnt. He writes a sort of unfinished draft that's fine but the story kind of sucks. JJ reads the script and passes. Kennedy's like "fuck it" and tells JJ he can do whatever he wants. JJ hires Lawrence Kasdan, they break the story for the film and outline the next two (with likely some similarities to the Lucas treatments but probably just general stuff that's similar by chance) with Rian Johnson (I honestly think JJ started from scratch, more or less, which you might think is a hard thing to do given how little time they had, but what Star Wars fan doesn't have an idea about where things go after Episode VI?). Then the trilogy gets made and everyone's happy and the Star Wars saga is declared, officially, to be solely consisted of Episodes IV-IX.
Well that last part is wishful thinking. But I think the other stuff is mostly true. Apparently the Lucas drafts were teen-centric, and probably just had Han, Leia, and Luke's kids as the main characters. I like that JJ has expanded things and with a genuinely new bunch of characters, only one of which may or may not be an offspring of the OT's big three. Also, it appears the early rumors about Episode VII being driven by the big three are unsubstantiated, based on the prominence of what appears to be the new big three (Finn, Rey, Dameron). If they weren't the main characters, why would the trailers and Celebration panel focus on them, when the OT characters are obviously more marketable?
Long story short, I think JJ and co. made the right choice from what I know, but obviously I don't know a lot because they haven't really told us anything and the movies aren't out yet. I'd love a comprehensive behind the scenes doc about the new trilogy starting with the Disney deal that really lets us know how things when down. Unfortunately we probably won't have one of those or know what Lucas's treatments were like until after Episode IX because of spoilers and such.
I thought Lucas had decided to make Episode 7 as a sweetener to sell the company, but when Disney became aware of it they said "no, it's ok, you don't have to make episode 7, here take our money, we will do it!"

Damn lucky - if he had directed another SW movie it might have killed it for good.
Ha, now I have an image of Iger's surprised face when Lucas informs him that he wants to direct Episode 7. "Listen, George, I'm gonna stop you right there."

Here is something you may be looking for.
The guy who wrote The Secret History of Star Wars also wrong a nice long article about it years ago. You'll have to dig or wait for that, though.

It's unfortunate that this site is no more. What happened? Did the guy just stop caring / paying for the domain?It's unfortunate that this site is no more. What happened? Did the guy just stop caring / paying for the domain?
Thanks!
He hasn't forgotten, but has plans to reboot the site soon.
EDIT: Sorry, I was making fun of SuperShadow, when it was Secret History of Star Wars that we were talking about. Disregard!

Actually, I'd wager they were more in the vein of "Du zeugtest ein edles Geschlecht; kein Zager kann je ihm entschlagen."
Which is a heck of a mouthful. Believe me, it's much more fun to listen to.
