'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

George Lucas had already been planning to make a seventh Star Wars film before he sold his company Lucasfilm to Disney. When the auteur handed over his iconic franchise he also gave the studio his plotline for Star Wars: Episode 7. Disney, however, did not use any of the 70-year-old filmmakers ideas for the new installment.

Given how episodes 1,2 and 3 were, that’s probably a good thing... though admitted the name of the new movie is horrible.

I’m the biggest star wars fan ever. The kiddo’s I was with at the theater for the last one asked me if I was there for the first one. Yes, I said. I was their instant hero. They asked me who my favorite character was and I said R2D2. He saved all their a..., whoa, lol.

I sure don’t see the Family Guy crew rushing to parody those last 3 episodes, either...

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

LOL! That was something. Let's take the mysterious "force" and reduce it down to a blood test like checking for cholesterol. Talk about killing the romance.

Had he continued at the helm, Midichlorians would have been revealed to be HIV/AIDS and that real life homos were actually descendents of the Jedi.

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

True dat. I would also add the phrase "and considering the crappy tweaks he made to the Original Trilogy..."

Heck, even ROTJ had some dumb problems with it (not as egregious as the prequels), but making Leia Luke’s sister was problem #1. Making Darth Vader Anakin Skywalker was the other problem. It completely turns Obi-Wan Kenobi into an abject liar.

Ewoks could have been better. This article explains things very well....

However, there are a few things about ROTJ I like very much, but it doesn’t save it.

You didn't know that C3P0 was gay?

Gay? No. He lacks 'junk'. Effeminate? Yah.
