I'd be very wary if they were going to go to "adult". Star Wars isn't "adult", it's "family". Making it either too "adult" or too "child" would lose it's vital essence. There is a tendency for folk who have grown up with a franchise to want it to grow up with them, but that just ruins it.

[@Skaiser_Wilhelm7938]

I don't think Lucas deserves most of the hate he gets. It seems like after the prequels, everyone just focused on his failures rather than his achievements. Say what you will about the man, but he was a visionary first and foremost. The fact he came up with the idea of a live-action Star Wars show 15 years before one was eventually made should be enough to tell you he was ahead of his time. So I want to take a minute to say thank you, George Lucas! You created dreams we still cherish today. 👏

[@KasumiKenshirou]

I just wish he hadn't sold it to Disney and put Kathleen Kennedy in charge. Those were his two biggest mistakes. I don't know why he didn't just build his studio somewhere else.

[@StuartLugsden]

Recently that I realised that the reason George had his mind set on this is because of his sequel trilogy which would have involved Maul becoming the godfather of crime and filling in the power vacuum left behind after the Empires ultimate collapse galactic wide. This could have a prologue or tie in or sort. In fact almost everything from George's ST was recycled in some for expect Talon and the Whills microbiotic world.

[@thecandlemaker1329]

Hell will freeze over before Kennedy allows Darth Talon to be realised (or Mara Jade, but Lucas wasn't fond of her, either)

This series sounded great. I would've loved this Definitely super expensive and maybe a little beyond what i think he could afford. I think Lucas kind of got lucky with the rights thing the first time around with Star Wars with the toys. I think the higher ups didnt think it'd be as big as it would end up being. But since becoming as big as it did but needing a bigger studio to finance it and at the same time wanting to maintain the rights and stuff, i guess something had to give. Thanks for making the video. Love the concept art clips.

Hey Bullets & Blockbusters. It's great to see your videos again. Keep doing the great work!

I have some suggestions that I would like to share with you. I'm really excited for "Daredevil: Born Again" to come out next year. So I wonder if you will work on those canceled Daredevil and Punisher films? Do you think that you can also include: - 1970's Angela Bowie's "Daredevil and the Black Widow" TV series - 1980's ABC's "Daredevil" TV series with screenwriter Stirling Silliphant - 2000's Fox's "The Punisher" TV series with executive producer Edward Bernero One last I want to ask is that, since you talked about Toy Story and Pixar, I wonder if you can do some videos that cover some canceled Disney animated film and television projects?

*What Could've Been: Bill Peet's Original Storyline for Walt Disney's THE JUNGLE BOOK* SUMMARY: Written with little supervision, Bill Peet (who wrote the story for Disney's *"101 Dalmatians"* and *"Sword in the* *Stone")* wrote his original treatment to *"The Jungle Book"* while preserving the ominous tone of Rudyard Kipling's novel, but also made it linear and adding more suspense. It is also here that the two animal characters: Baloo & Bagheera had their personalities from the novel switched into the versions we see in Disney's animated film, with Baloo now the "big, playful buffoon of a bear" and Bagheera now the serious -minded mentor. The treatment opens with Mowgli being rescued by Bagheera & the Wolves from falling from a waterfall. Mowgli's journey from the jungle to the Man-Village would have been the film's central storyline. King Louie (an original character created by Peet), the leader of Bandar-log, kidnaps Mowgli and would to get him to teach them how to make fire ("the red flower") and to rebuild the ancient city. King Louie would also show him the treasure under the ruins (this was a plot element borrowed from Kipling's *"The Second Jungle Book").* At the Man-Village, Mowgli gets into an argument with the local hunter Buldeo, which caused him to go back to the jungle with a torch and he use it to scare those who attacked or mocked him during his journey and confront Shere Khan. He is then captured by Buldeo who drags him to the ancient city in search for the hidden treasure. After taking some of the treasure, Buldeo attempts to burn the jungle to avoid the threat of Shere Khan, only for Shere Khan to attack & kill Buldeo, before he is then killed by Mowgli with Buldeo's rifle. The story ends with Mowgli now hailed as a hero in both the jungle and the Man-Village and he is declared the first human member of the Wolves' council.
