Are you glad Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney or do you wish he hadn’t?
Time

I can partially understand why he sold to Disney at the time, given their past record of making many great films in both animated and live action. However, I think he made the mother of all mistakes in picking Kathleen Kennedy as his successor. What she did to the sequels (“The Last Jedi” in particular) is 100% inexcusable, and the clips I’ve seen online from “The Rise of Skywalker” weren’t much better. Bringing back Palpatine and making Rey his granddaughter was another idiotic decision. I’d have much preferred that she was Luke’s daughter, possibly canonizing the film existence of Mara Jade (even though Lucas did not like that character).

Batman Forever: Bigger, Battier, & Better (* unfinished project *)
Time

Your idea sounds interesting, though I actually like the playful natue of “Batman Forever”. In my honest opinion, only that and the '89 original struck a proper thematic balance. “Returns” was far too dark and slutty, while “& Robin” was 75% campfest (I did like Alicia as Batgirl and Arnold as Mr. Freeze, though).
