[@JoseHernandez-ql8vw]

What was he talking about, Jews?

[@ThomasSellers]

Maybe he should include himself in that category. As the saying goes, what a nifty gifty is given us if we see ourselves as we see others, or vice versa. Lucas sees Disney as white slavers, he himself is known for not having a lot of black actors or stronger women in his SW films. His fears of diversity clashes with his humble sounding wish for all fans to enjoy SW in future. But some of us, while fans, remain traumatized by certain key scenes of violence and torture in his films. TESB: Luke gets his hand dismembered by the evil Lord who just said he's the boy's dad. ROTJ: Luke is electro-shocked by evil sorcery from the Emperor, right after his emotional battle against his father. The scene with Leia in the slave costume, where little kids could bear witness to her sexuality, is an all time low. IE: not everyone enjoys SW. Even a fan like me acknowledges this. Luke himself was right after all: it's time for the Jedi to end. End it now so we can achieve peace in the galaxy!!!

[@ThomasSellers]

@Ianoodin You haven't had enough education in Hollywood lore. You've never heard talk of Lucas being racist, sexist, etc. Not to mention Lucas is diabetic. Yep, it's true. Do the research. Dig deeper. The truth will out.

"everything she said there got flushed down the toilet" from a certain point of view maybe.. But not really. IN Order to keep things feeling new, and fresh, and to avoid millions of dollars in buy outs of old EU books, and comics which came out in under houses that didn't have a deal in place with Disney they retconned the old EU (which most casual fans don't know much about. Anyway..) in order to start with a new timeline and cannon which was more inline with the films, and they are drawing out the best elements from the old EU and putting them in the new cannon. I wouldn't doubt if we get characters like Mara Jade Skywalker along the way at some point. We don't know what Luke has been doing other then training Jedi's maybe he did meet a Mara Jade, and did have a kid or two also in the last 30 years before "The Force Awakens" how about we wait, and find out before we jump the gun? :D

[@theDavidChannel1]

The original betrayal came from George's director buddies: Ron Howard, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis. He wanted someone else to direct the prequels and every one of them was afraid to take on the task. He was left alone to direct with nothing but yes men around him and the end result was a bunch of shit talking fans unhappy with the product. 7 years later he sold his baby.

[@JarJarAbrams]

Yes, I feel like his "old friends" wanted to see him fail. Why did Ron Howard refuse to direct the prequels yet he's now doing a botched version of the Han Solo film? Why is Spielberg so keen on doing Indiana Jones 5 while he refused to make the 4th for more than a decade. Spielberg knew Kathleen Kennedy would fuck the franchise yet he did nothing to stop her.

[@theDavidChannel1]

Yea I thought Howard stepping in to direct the Han Solo flick was very strange. I'm sure they're still friends and perhaps he will bring George in to consult on the side.

[@vegetasolo1221]

Abrams fucked it up. The acting was good but the story was wrong. It felt like a cheesey comic movie, filled with one liners. Star Wars is serious with ocassional humor. Yes he made bad rereleases and the Prequels werent perfect, but they did feel like Star Wars and either though execution was bad, episode 3 fits well with episode 4. Its just the character development was rushed and terrible. Episode 7 is a comic copy of the original film. There was no magical moments in the new films, like the original when Luke uses the force to guide him in destroying the Death Star. Instead Rey just masters the force instantly, and Lightsabers are really heavy yet weak. I get it! In the original lightsabers were heavy, and the faster Luke was with a Lightsaber the stronger Jedi he was. However Lightsabers are powerful things in the original, a swipe to Kylo Rens face (in TFA) should have sliced his face in half, not a shitty wound on his face. I never believed I was watching Star Wars when I watched TFA. Thats how bad it was. Atleast I knew it was Star Wars in the prequels. POOR AND UNORIGINAL PLOT NO GROUND BREAKING EFFECTS CLICHE 1 LINERS FELT MORE LIKE A MARVEL COMIC THAN STAR WARS MOVIE

[@michaelrunk7704]

Actually Steven Pielberg was very interested in directing and working on Star Wars. However at time Lucas set to make prequels Steven was tied up in other projects. Now that Disney owns Star Wars he won't ever direct a star wars film. Which sad cause he would make a good film.

You are wrong. He didn’t try “absolutely everything” to bring Vader back to the light side. After discovering Vader was his father, Luke had exactly ONE confrontation with Vader and a very brief conversation where he told Vader he felt there was still good in him, and Vader tells him it’s too late for him (Vader). Luke gives up on Vader at that point and says “Then my father is truly dead.” BOOM. End of fucking conversation. Vader brought Luke before the Emperor, and neither Luke or Vader had any more conversation, other than Vader taunting Luke. Vader only turns when he see’s the Emperor killing Luke and Luke writhing in pain and calling out to Vader. That is Vader’s turning point. Luke didn’t do jack-shit to try to bring Vader back to the light. In fact, Luke gave up on it when Vader told him it was too late. Luke wanting the Jedi to end had only partly to die with Luke’s actual failure with Ben/Kylo. When Luke went seeking the first Jedi temple, he was searching for deeper answers, deeper truths to help him in his path. Luke realized he had a moment of weakness and went searching for deeper meaning and to understand how he failed. What he ends up discovering was that the Jedi veered far off course from what they started out as, and that their arrogance prevented them from seeing what was right in front of them, thus allowing Palpatine to seize control of the galaxy and wipe the Jedi out of existence (almost). Luke also saw that the dogmatic approach to the Force by the Jedi nor the quest for ultimate power of The Sith was the correct path. Luke discovered that the Force is more than the Jedi or Sith understood - that it’s the very fabric of existence. There is no light or dark, there is only The Force. It’s how you use it that matters. That was why Luke felt the Jedi, like the Sith needed to end. However, Luke then comes to the realization that only the Jedi path as it was when they fell needed to end. The Jedi Order needed to go back to its roots, back to being true practitioners of The Force We as fans, cannot expect a character who was 23 when we last saw him on the big screen to be the exact same 30 years later. Nobody is. I like that Rian Johnson showed us that Luke was not perfect and that he was susceptible to failure (just like everyone else). Luke ends his journey and comes full circle and embraces who he is, who he isn’t, and his place within the Force. He does the most noble and heroic thing someone can do and that was sacrificing himself so others could live. He is at peace with himself, and his greater understanding of his place within the Force. This is what allows him to become one with the Force. It was a great arc for Luke, and the perfect sendoff for a legend

[@adamcornwell8303]

“Then my father is truly dead.” - No, snozzlehead92 is NOT wrong. Luke said that in retort, said that to try to wind up and provoke Anakin. And it had the desired effect, according to the long lingering shot as Luke has gone up in the lift and Anakin / Vader looks out of the window. Luke knew what he was doing. When he got to the Emperor, the Emperor says "by now you must know that your father cannot be turned." - Again that's in the script for 3 reasons - 1 it's what the character would say to wind the other character up 2 it's to remind us of Luke's goal and 3 it's to raise that issue of the doubt that must be in Luke's mind. Otherwise, if there were no doubt, it would serve no purpose. It would ruin the scene for anyone who thinks it's not still a goal for Luke to turn his father. Finally, no he didn't just have a conversation with Ben, he's obviously been stewing on this for "about six months" (Lucas c.1983) or whatever period you deem in between 5 and 6, and he is totally peroccupied it through the whole film, telling all and sundry about it. And he goes against the two jedi, he puts himself at risk, he risks involving Leia, for this one goal. ...I think your wider point is that look wasn't such a great hero because his wanting to save Anakin, and the way he did it, wasn't all that impressive, and I can see how somebody could have that view, and therefore we should not hold Luke up. I can see that. And i can even see your explanation of what he became. But all of that could have been shown in episode 7 and 8 if they wanted to do him justice, rather than the poor writing that seem to be these prequels.

[@Roonasaur]

FYI . . . Luke DID risk everything to save his father when he dropped his lightsaber - leaving himself defenseless before Emperor Palpatine - after bringing Vader to his knees. You could clearly see the anger rising in Luke as he whaled on Vader, you could clearly see the Emperor getting off on seeing it . . . and then Luke turned away from the dark side, refusing to cut Vader down in anger. Which left him completely at the mercy of these two evil dudes, with his only hope left being that he had gotten through to his father.

No one strong-armed him into it, he was quite willing to request a hefty, multi-billion dollar payment for his stake.

George, for one, would've never allowed this stupid TFA rehash shit. When he left the TFA premiere he just politely said "I liked it" when he said beforehand he was excited to finally see a SW movie without the pressures of being involved.

So much depth to the whole universe were added to the originals. Pff I think George actually wanted mankind to learn a lesson from his Science Fantasy World. And then he sold his soul ...

14Schofield Let's see you have the fact that you have old White Men representing the bad guys, all of the good guys are either women or minorities. The Protagonist for BOTH movies is a boyish, hardcore female. One of them is a scavenger that I am supposed to - LOL - think that she can survive the desert alone. Captain Phasma. You have Finn, which is clearly the beta male to Rey's Alpha male. Protagonists are traditionally male in Adventure and Sci Fi stories, and Star Wars is a male oriented story. It deals with several male themes, it practically invented what we call the "Hero'es Journey". It is a metaphor for the journey a young man takes from boy to manhood, from novice to master. These are integral themes about the rite of a passage a man takes. In the beginning of SW, Luke is just a farmboy, at the end of SW he is a JEDI MASTER. From novice to master. This is all about manhood. Heroism, conquering evil, fighting tyranny, war, saving the world etc are all masculine traits and themes that SW, and the genre explores. Protagonists in these kinds of stories are nearly always men because its a man's domain. Men fight in war, women do not. Kathleen Kennedy and the souless suits at DIsney and the rest of the establishment is trying to take that away. Now, do we really have to do the caveats? i guess so. "Not every man is like that." "Not every adventure story features a male" yes yes yes there are always exceptions. But its an exception and an anomaly for a reason and shouldnt be promoted.

They are to blame for *_everything_* in this mess. Now then, I still have to wonder why he didn't just sit on things and just let some time pass by. I think he made a very rash and foolish decision in the heat of the moment and as most people know, that is the worst time to make decisions, especially ones of that magnitude. It's so obvious that he is totally devastated in how Di$ney/Kennedyfilm is treating his creation. Crushed in regards to the direction that SW is being led into which has nothing to do with his original vision at all. As I already touched on as well, he put Kennedy in charge of his company and entrusted her with all he held dear. She was his friend of 35+ yrs. and I believe he chose her to head his company as a way of keeping an eye on what was going on with what he created. He put his total trust into her and she flashed her smile and told him everything he wanted to hear... Even as the ink was still fresh on the contract, she betrayed him and basically ran off laughing, Di$ney paycheck in hand and basically leaving Lucas (who as I said was a friend of nearly 40 yrs.) out in the gutter. Kennedy has no shame and proudly wears her betrayal of Lucas like a medal on her sleeve for all to see. Iger on the other hand is just a typical, sleazy business snake. His intentions were visible and clear as day from Day 1 - to milk the SW brand 'til it's bone dry and run it straight into the ground - which he confirmed a short while ago by announcing that there will be *_more_* SW films *_after_* Ep. 9 and the 3rd spinoff film. Once they have leeched off all they can from the franchise, they will discard it into the "has-been" bin and move onto the "next big thing".

"The main thing is to protect these characters, make sure they continue to live in the way that you created them, and that the universe of Star Wars continues to grow." Smirking as she said this, with such specific detail in that pledge, while failing to uphold any of those details tells any person with an ounce of sense she very much intended to disgrace the property, the characters, and the universe. I will never - and I am not alone - support a single thing that JJ Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy or Rian Johnson touches ever. Ever.

[@proudkiwi7641]

Kathleen Kennedy: "The main thing is to protect these characters. Make sure they continue to live in the way you created them...." Also Kathleen Kennedy: Kills off Han, ruins Lukes character and then kills him off also, kills Akbar off offscreen, makes Lando gender fluid, kills off Leia, ruins Anakins entire character arc by bringing back Palpatine just to kill him off again.

Actually the actor of Han Solo wanted his character to be killed off, so you can’t blame Disney and Kennedy for that.

[@Cathee.M.]

Anakin's story arc wasn't ruined - his redemption wasn't just about killing Palpatine, but first and foremost about saving his son. Bringing back Palpatine - while uninventive - doesn't take anything away from that. And Anakin did manage to restore peace and balance to the Force, if only for a limited period of time. But no one ever said it had to be forever (although it certainly would've been nice🤷‍♀️). And I'm not sure Leia's death was premeditated, I mean it's not like they had the story planned out years in advance😉; maybe they decided she kind of had to be killed off after Carrie died - there's only so much you can do with pre-recorded footage and it probably would've been difficult to round the story off without her. I suppose they could've used face mapping/CGI like with young Leia/Tarkin in Rogue 1 and Luke in The Mandalorian, I'm not sure why they didn't - maybe it would've been too difficult, or they had too little time, or thought it would be more respectful to Carrie to let her character become one with the Force... I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. But I agree they f*cked up pretty much everything else. TLJ remains one of the most disappointing films I've ever seen, and TRoS was little more than a sad attempt at cleaning up the mess it created. The last 2 films are classic examples of form over content, I'm afraid...

"the main thing is to protect these characters, make sure they continue to live in the way you created them, and the Star Wars universe continues to grow" Hey, hey Kathy... do you consider taking the heroes of George's story and turning them into deadbeat losers who abandon their friends/family/wife and responsibilities at the moment the galaxy needs them the most, allowing the galaxy to go to shit through their inaction, and making a movie whose plot complete negates everything those characters fought for... protecting them? Is that how the story grows? When that stormtrooper yelled out, "TRAITOR!", he was looking at you, bitch.

They had no armies, no fleets, just a few sympathetic senators. They were thoroughly defeated. In Disney Wars, Luke, Leia, and Han were on the side of the galactic government which they were crucial in helping to establish, they should have had the support of armies and fleets... instead Luke was a tail-tucking bitch that hid from a small terrorist cell, and Leia and Han were too busy doing their own crap that their son became Darth Emo. This is truly a Star Wars for the current generation.

Yeah $4 billion is absolutely nothing to George Lucas... independent craft beer companies have been sold for $1 billion, Star Wars is the biggest franchise and fictional universe on the planet, it is worth more than $100 billion in reality. He didn't do it for the money, he did it because of the cruelness of fans and critics, and because he doesn't know how long he has left in this life.

[@LuneyTune72]

George's whole "think you're doing when you're actually not" speech is so clearly directed at Kathleen and other Disney execs. He's dealt with these people his whole career, he saved Star Wars from them for decades. He's fearless because he's retired. Look at him gesture to Kathleen when he says "how do people with the power and the freedom turn it over to somebody whose going to take it all away from him." HAHA. Going onto say "watch out because there are people out there who don't play by the rules (looks at Kathleen aka President of Lucasfilms)." Something fucked up happened with his deal with Disney. He got bought out but they got more than he planned somehow, I'm sure their lawyers did something really fucked up in the deal.

+jedijones She and JJ killed arguably the poster boy of Star Wars. Luke, Han and Vader are in the high tier or popularity.

[@malickfan991]

+jedijones I understand where you are coming from, but let's face it Harrison Ford isn't getting any younger (or cheaper) he probably only agreed to return for TFA on the condition he was killed off (he's by far the most popular of the OT actors, killing him off early gives the new cast members more room to breath and develop), frankly I thought Han should have died back in ROTJ anyway, his arc was complete i.m.o, it's rather telling that he goes back to being a smuggler in TFA, obviously even Lawrence Kasdan couldn't think of anywhere else to take him.

[@millabasset1710]

Paul Ashwell Well fuck Kasdan and I hate to say this, fuck Ford. George Lucas is an asshole, but he clearly understands his own universe. Han is to cool to die. Could have died of old age. I'm fine with Harrison hating Star Wars.. Pretty much all of the cast hates it. The only people who give a shit about the fans are Mark, Anthony, Kenny, Peter and Jones.

[@malickfan991]

+MALayhee700 I totally get why you are p*ssed, but it's not Lucas's universe anymore, he sold the rights willingly to one of the most commercially driven companies in Hollywood with no concrete guarantee he ideas and treatments would be used, he's been in the business long enough to know how hollywood works. I really liked TFA personally, though I understand why others don't, Star Wars has inspired so many filmmakers and actors over the years I'm glad that Lucas has now given them the freedom and possibility of exploring the universe in the way they want to, at the end of the day it's all just sci-fi family friendly escapism, if the new films all turn out to be crap, just ignore them. Honestly I think Han had to die either brutally or heroically (TFA managed both i.m.o) to give the new film some weight, really there wasn't much further they could have taken the character, you are right Han's cool and a legend, but that makes his death all the more tragic...

[@millabasset1710]

Paul Ashwell Han Solo. The man who made the Kessel run. The man who survived and escaped the death star. Was able to flee from Jabba. Escaped a heavy imperial fleet on Hoth. Flew through the asteroid field. Destroyed the shield generator on Endor... He dies on a bridge killed by a punk who worships a grandfather he doesn't even really know.

[@brianogilby7220]

Jeremy W, very true.

[@TheArsenalgunner28]

Last Jedi made me realise that Star Wars will never hit its true potential. All it needs is a passionate director, with love for the franchise, and what made it great and magical. Highlighting greed and selfishness as the enemy. I like George's vision, but he needs directors to execute them. However, the new trilogy is seriously lacking vision, but not direction. Force awakens was okay but it did feel like a lot of it was used from George's original material and changed slightly for Disney's approach. Because of the inconsistency of Last Jedi and the constant 'eye rolling' moments. I have decided I will never watch anymore of Disney's Star Wars. I'm finished. Take the franchise and do what you want with it. I'm no longer on board

[@JarJarAbrams]

Rian Johnson seemed to be a passionate Star Wars fan, but at the end of the end he is just a yes man. He made what Kathleen Kennedy wanted, that's why Luke's character was assassinated and he shoehorned new "stronk female characters". That's not his vision, that's Kathleen kennedy's.

[@TheArsenalgunner28]

Not particularly, or at least we can't be sure if that is the case, if he was passionate enough, that movies script and plot line would have been very different (but then its whether he had as much freedom as we're told, I doubt he did) I would have liked female characters, I actually liked Rey's character in the last Jedi, and Finn too (didn't feel like actual characters in episode 7 to me) so that's one thing episode 8 did better imo. But If I did a movie, i wouldn't have gone all pretentious but I would have kept it simple. Little things like, kylo not destroying his mask, and it using it as a partial plot device and arc in his character, like when he's in mask, he as a character feels more stronger, less vulnerable. (Which he would be denying but with certain things you could really give him some depth and make some of the scenes in the last Jedi better) It would have been quite clever if you tie it in with some scenes in the force awakens (like when kylo is speaking to snoke about Rey, hucks comes in and Kylo almost looks ashamed that hucks is going to see him without his mask on) It would been great at hiding his emotion. And you could use Rey's visions to get a flip perspective as she catches him out of mask, where she is able to get through to him (like they did in the movie) and get rid of the plot line in the script that snoke made those visions happen. It would have added more tension. Made the audience question him more, not just have his emotion written on his face. The movie had good ideas but it was consistently matched by something out of place of off beat. I liked half of what I saw and disliked or even aggravated by about half of the rest

[@Seastallion]

JarJar Abrams I don't care who is at fault at this point. I'm done with Disney Star Wars, and I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist. I'll reread the Expanded Universe novels (pre-TFA) and just consider it the true Canon. Far better and richer material spanning some 40 years of SW history. Far better characters too. I love Corran Horn and Mara Jade. She'd totally kick Rey's ass.

[@GotchaProductions]

Lacking direction? There’s definitely a presence of their lack direction considering how Rian Johnson even admitted there was “no set plan” after TFA. Disney doesn’t really know where they’re headed with the franchises
