George Lucas had already been planning to make a seventh Star Wars film before he sold his company Lucasfilm to Disney.

Disney, however, did not use any of the 70-year-old filmmakers ideas for the new installment.

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

You’re probably right. He had great inspiration for the first 3. All downhill after that.

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

70 years old with two kids under 5. Whines that $4 billion from Disney lets Disney make production decisions. Tells me all I need to know about the guy.

Jar Jar Binks was reason enough IMHO.

'They didn't use any of my ideas': George Lucas says new Star Wars film is not how he envisioned it 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.

Disney probably made the right choice to ignore Lucas completely. Jar-Jar sez, "Meesa tinks you are right!"

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