'They didn't use any of my ideas': George Lucas says new Star Wars film is not how he envisioned it
UK Daily Mail ^ | January 21, 2015 | Shyam Dodge

Considering how crappy the prequels were, Disney probably made the right choice to ignore Lucas completely.

I still don’t quite get what happened in the prequels...
But, I only watched them once.

Jar Jar Binks was reason enough IMHO.

Well, then I might have to go see this one.

I stopped at Attack of the Clones. Revenge of the Sith was so bad that Weird Al didn't even write a parody of it.

Be prepared for at least one gay character. Or perhaps an entire race of them who use cloning for 'reporduction'.

Yes, My Star Wars Theorem has been proven correct.

Do you think it Is a coincidence that the Best Star Wars Movie (The Empire Strikes Back) is the one that has the LEAST amount of Involvement from George Lucas?

I didn't think so, George can take his "Midichlorians" and shove 'em!
