George Lucas Felt Betrayed By Disney Star Wars (My Thoughts)

Bob Iger recalls how George Lucas "felt betrayed" by Disney's handling of Star Wars, and the promises not kept in where the saga would go. Here are my thoughts on it.

“I shouldn’t have to ingest the books to understand the movies” TRUTH

[@cr-pol]

True, but the animated series would have helped people seeing the prequels. So let us not leave that medium out of things that shouldn't be required before viewing a movie. (btw: read the Thrawn Trilogy and make that your sequel, as lots did 20 years ago.)

[@zacharywolff2886]

You can still understand the movies though. The books are just added detail. The original trilogy doesn’t really explain the state of the galaxy that much either

[@asingh53]

I agree here for the simple reason not everyone is interested in reading a bunch of books to make them understand the movie. A movie should be able to stand on its own without having to do extra reading. I personally loved the expanded universe pre disney era but I can't say i am enthusiastic about reading any of the books now.

[@zacharywolff2886]

asingh53 but do you really not understand the new movies? They aren’t as detailed on the state of the galaxy as the prequels, but I don’t think it’s much different in detail from the original trilogy.

[@asingh53]

@@zacharywolff2886 I do understand the movies even if I am not the biggest fan of them. I was more agreeing with the point that it should be completely optional. The original trilogy didn't need that detail at all. I remember having those movies on VHS and watching them at least 3 times a week and I didn't need to read a book to see well oh thats why he did this. However, when I started reading it helped me understand a bit more but it was completely optional in the end. But all in all I will definitely be there opening day to see rise of the skywalker because no matter how bad it may get I will stick with it.

Exactly. The outline, script, dialogue, and plot points of the sequels, both jj and Rian versions, play out/perform/feel like fan fiction dreamt from the pure thought "what if this happened". Rather than creating a succinct and strong story with rhyme and reason. They just said "whatever questions arise from our malfeasance, you can't criticise us because then you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing as fans. Just enjoy the damn movie and move on".

Also the only way The Emperor could still show up is if his HATE got imbued on to the crashed death star and he was Sith force ghost trapped in the wrecked death star he died in. That is the ONLY way they could bring him back canonically. Because he is a Sith and abandoned the will of the force for the will of the self. Sith can only become force ghosts if a part of their darkness gets trapped in an object. So being more powerful in life makes them weaker in death. That's why it's really good that Vader became good again before he died or he would have became nothing or be trapped with his hate inside of an object.

zymosan123 quick questions since we're on the topic of politics and Star Wars now...did you watch any of the previous movies before Disney took over? Just who did you think the rebels represented. The rebels were represented by everyone from every species, race and so on and so forth. The Empire was made up of one species. The Jedi were about peace, love and harmony amongst all creatures, the sith were all about power through force, they were about greed, and deception. Jedi WERE SWJs. George Lucus essentially displayed the flaws of the Liberal Philosophy through the Jedi. Hence why they eventually fell and the Sith won, if not Temporarily. It's pretty much cut and dry. So before you go blah blah blah talking point sjws bitch and moaning yada yada You should really come to grips with the reality of the Story George Lucus was telling and how it was meant to parallel our own Universe.

@G Ren I didn't ask for nostalgia, TLJ was boring. I wanted to see why Luke was in hiding. The first scene shows him throw his lightsaber without even asking where he found it (and we still don't even know how it was found) and this movie took place mere minutes after TFA and and was a slow chase scene. Remember Snoke? He was hyped up to be the next Sith master but oh wait, he was only there to die in a comedic way. These series could've been great the way JJ set it up but TLJ ruined all of it in my opinion. I was so invested in TFA and now I don't even care for TRS

[@CrabTastingMan]

​@@j9brando87 **Luke throwing away the lightsaber is actually justified:** Jedi are NOT defined by their lightsabers. Why are so many people thinking like the flawed Jedi in the Jedi Order? Remember when Obi-wan in AOTC said "this weapon is your life." to Anakin in the first chapter of the movie? Those were the wrong teachings! A lightsaber is just a tool that only force-sensitives can use to a greater effect than normal people, such as using it to deflect blaster shots. Did anyone notice Luke won his ultimate test as a Jedi in ROTJ as he threw away his lightsaber and refused to kill the mass-murdering monster that is Vader? As for TLJ as a whole, Rian Johnson was taking risks, and yes we definitely need that especially after the risk-averse Jar Jar Abrams's hack job with TFA, but Rian was too lazy to put in the proper work. He wanted to do something grand, but he never did the groundwork to put supports for a bridge so it the whole thing was just shaky, and it boldly leads to somewhere... or nowhere, ultimately. Because Jar Jar Abrams screwed the screw-up with another screw up by averting any chance of risk with TRS, making all that fandom drama worked up over nothing. What a hack. Doesn't even know how to surf on bad publicity. I mean, the underlying story for how Luke changed from the most forgiving person to trying to kill a nephew who hasn't even completely fallen to the Dark side could have been interesting, but we never got a satisfying answer. The greater the risk, the greater the work needed to provide a tight explanation. I mean, as it stands, Luke's change is as drastic as seeing the charitable Anakin turn into the angsty Vader. Going from helping strangers by offering the winnings of his race rather than taking it for his own to a galactic villain took 3 movies (and it is still arguable whether the story of his change was properly told!), but for Luke we get a... spotty flashback? That's the problem with TLJ. Like I said, greater the risk, the more work you need to get it to work. But boy if you pull it off, it will be a lot more dramatic than whatever formulaic corporate pig shit the likes of Jar Jar Abrams loves to roll around in.

I feel like everyone is at fault for where Star Wars is currently: Lucas: For being rather naive in believing that Disney was obligated to follow his story ideas. I mean he created Lucasfilms in the first place because he didn't trust the big-name studios at the time to let him do as he wanted and really only went to Fox for distribution. He seemed to have forgotten his roots by handing over his passion project to Disney without getting certain things in writing. He had a fantastic collaboration with Dave Filoni and the Clone Wars team, after a successful show run I actually thought the next step was giving Filoni the keys to the Star Wars-verse if Lucas was ready to move on. Disney: For being more focused on the monetary potential of Star Wars by capitalizing on nostalgia, playing it safe with TFA, and being more focused on pleasing the Twitter-verse than actually telling a good story and expanding on the lore for the property they paid a hefty fee for. And then acting surprised when their rather generic and divisive films aren't sticking like they thought they would. Certain aspects of the fanbase: For hammering on Lucas so bad that he just lost all interest for thing he created that he just wanted to get it out his life as quickly as possible. In a New York Times interview Lucas said: "Why would I make more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?" Also the fact that he donated all the money Disney gave him for Star Wars to charity should tell you how little he thought of it. Where do we go from here? Who knows.

Bob's not the one who betrayed Lucas. Kennedy is. Lucas pushed Kennedy (who George had running LucasFilm) on Igor believing Kennedy would keep his story true, because Kennedy said she would, then Igor gave her full reign because Lucas told him "she knows what she's doing". Then Kennedy crapped all over Lucas and made Igor look like an A-Hole. That's why Igor acknowledged it. He also acknowledged it's his fault, but it's a fault of negligence, not a fault of malice.

@Gamer 4 the eternity I would say you are correct in that there is a reason. The reason he didn't stop her earlier is because he made a deal with Lucas to give her full control. Lucas was afraid Disney wouldn't respect his IP, so he pushed KK on them, not realizing she was the one who was about to destroy it. . At the end of the day, both Lucas and Iger messed up. But there "sin" was one of trust, and they believed KK when she lied to their face saying she would respect and protect the universe she was being given control of.

[@youtubeviolatedme7123]

While Iger was negligent, I believe Kennedy's malice to be indirect. I say that because Kennedy wasn't directly involved with the writing nor the production of the movies, rather she was only involved with hiring and promoting the morons who would end up trashing Star Wars.

George Lucas deserved some blame also. George Lucas should of close out his trilogy then sold it. George Lucas sold Star Wars to disney because Bob iger just pulled off a huge deal by purchasing Steve Jobs Pixar and George Lucas felt that Disney had the assets to expand star wars in different mediums. George Lucas had the upper hand but Steve Jobs made more calculated moves than George Lucas did. George Lucas chose KATHLEEN KENNEDY becsuse of friendship and the other reason is they go way back to Steven Spielberg days. George Lucas is a great storyteller but he can at times make cheesy movies like the phantom menace hence its Goku on cloud ☁ Nimbus and Attack of the Clones is another cheesy movie. Now revenge of the Sith is a good movie. The Clone Wars tv 📺 show saved the pre sequels, it made Anakin turning to the dark side more believable Dave Filoni needs to just make a animated series about Luke jedi school and how he became the luke we see in the last jedi. Now Star Wars needs to grow and expand by telling stories outside the Skywalkers. Like deep in the past and far into the future when rey and luke are myths. They should also explore more of the jedi and sith history but they should also explore more light force users who are not jedi and dark side users who are not siths or first orders. Just something new and fresh. Star Wars ia big galaxy and it should feel like one and its very diverse in genre because its a fantasy,sci-fi,western, and a mythological tale. The OT Star Wars had more of the Tv 📺 show Firefly feel and the Original Battle Star Galactica feel with a dash of fairy tale like the wizard of oz and flash Gordon mix together. The Prequels had more of a biblical, lore and Mythological medival feel. Ancient historical feel. Star Wars have to explore the past, lore of the jedi and sith and explore the deep future when the sequels are myths. And have great sory telling

And I can understand George's decision; a lot of the hate he received for the Prequels (which 100% have their terrible moments/aspects, but also good things too) wore on him over the years, so he probably wanted to wash his hands with the series feeling fans would hate anything he did, sadly.

The state of the galaxy has been my BIGGEST problem with the new films. There doesn't seem to be a sense of purpose for any of the plot points like there were in the previous films.

These decisions are costing Disney money. So not sure why Igor would say "lets do this so we can waste billions of the company's money". This is the same company that did great with Marvel. Kennedy is to blame by being incompetent and letting JJ and RJ do literally everything they wanted to do. JJ is who threw out Lucas script RJ is who threw out JJ's script Igor admitted he messed up in letting this happen.

[@serkanMKose]

From my point of view the jedi are ev...I mean everybody fucked up. From top to bottom, bottom being the directors because nobody had a say below that level. But you know who fucked (the fans) up the most? George Fuckin Lucas, by selling it to Disney fully. Yes he's rich now and can't blame the guy but he also fucked SW by not putting himself as the top control guy into the contract. He just went "eeh do whatever you want, it's yours now".

[@RageDaug]

@@serkanMKose I'd agree. Lucas is to blame for selling, though considering how much people enjoyed Marvel it seemed a safe bet. And Lucas is to blame for bringing on Kennedy. And Igor is to blame because he's the captain of the ship and it happened under his watch. I'm just saying their fault was one of trust, and both have expressed an understanding or admitted that they messed up. The reason I put more blame on Kennedy is because it was her job to make sure the story remained true and she failed at it. And to my knowledge, she has yet to take any ownership of the crapfest she created, instead blaming the fans.

This is a bit hypocritical as people who are now begging for Lucas to return were the ones that had bullied him so badly he didn't want to make another one of these movies. I know jeremy addressed it in the video but still doesn't take away from the fact that Lucas wanted to make ep7-9 but chose not to because of the reaction he got from fans.

[@canderoussnurd4265]

To use an old quote said a million times. “You never know what you got till it’s gone”. In all honesty I hope George doesn’t come back but not because I think he sucks. I hope he doesn’t come back because in the end we deserve this. If anything I hope he pulls that bit from the simpsons. Walks onto the stage to thunderous applause and the John Williams theme: “Oh my gosh. Thank you so much. You know. I just want you to know how wonderful I feel right now to………leave you all wallowing in the mess you’ve made. You’re screwed thank you goodbye” Walks off stage as crowd is left to deal with the fact that Star Wars is dead forever. I legitimately wouldn’t blame George if he did that.

@Jimb0 The only reason the original trilogy was any good was because the people around Lucas who were there to hold back on his dumber ideas. The prequels were the result of Lucas having complete control, and they were an abomination. I am 100% certain you would hate the new movies if he was making them, just like the fans hated the prequels until they recently decided that they were actually good actually!

Just read the article, it's a shit show. Here's some of my favorite lines: While Disney's revival of the Star Wars franchise has been met with widespread success, one particularly influential figure wasn't on board with the creative choices made in creating the story of Rey, Kylo Ren et al: George Lucas. Lucas' complaints mirror some of those from the vocal minority of Star Wars fandom upset about the direction the franchise has taken since Disney's purchase. The problem, Iger suggests, is that Lucas didn't fully appreciate what Lucasfilm and Disney were trying to do with the new trilogy.

@@everforward5561 I'm assuming it's trying to change the contract with how much money they want from spider-man. Originally it was 2% or something and as soon as "Far from home" made over a billion they demanded 50% of the money. Sony told them no and now we have no spider-man in the MCU. Which is such a shame. Because It's all to do with money. There's no love. There's no passion for the characters or doing what's in the fans interest. We thought it was so that we'd get excited for the films t watch it but it's all been a big lie. It's all about the money. It was never about giving us what we want to see, It was about giving something we'd want to buy tickets for.
