GEORGE LUCAS: "Disney didn't use my story for Episode VII, they made up their own"

Honestly I would have been much more up in arms about this when I was 14 years old and obsessive over "canon"
I just want the best possible film for the franchise and I have more confidence in Disney than GL at this point. This next 6-8 years of an abundance of Star Wars content, if successful and containing really good movies, could lead to an even longer run for Star Wars. I'm not sure if GL is capable of ensuring that compared to Disney.
Imagine if all goes well and we're in the 2030's watching another movie of an unexplored era in Star Wars, along with TV series, games, books etc still being released
That's what this has the potential to lead to.

Between Disney and Lucas who's ideas (and resources) have the better chance of making a high quality ST and sustaining the release of Star Wars content for decades?
I'd say the man that's been milking it for 40 years...
Apparently. Remember reading somewhere Spielberg saying he and Lucas bad a tough time.getting movies out.4 billi on top of the money he already has... he can make another franchise... off his name alone...
Not true Not true Not true...
I don't know where your getting this information but its false.
The Star Wars George Lucas had originally envisioned in his mind was nothing like the star wars we see today (thank god).
How you gonna post a screenshot of a notebook that's 80% blank with only a few scribbles of "Luke, Ben K, Darth Vader, and Robots" and then claim "He had the whole story planned out."
Did you see the behind the scenes of the prequels??? Dude was making shyt up on set that would affect the whole damn story moving forward or wouldn't line up with what the originals had already established. Dude gave no fukks about a coherent story and continuity.
Darth Vader wasn't even originally suppose to be Luke's father and probably wouldn't of been if the original writer hadn't passed away before Return of the Jedi.
Darth Vader was not Luke's father in A New Hope. George made that shyt up in the second draft of Empire Strikes Back.
You can't be making on the fly changes like that in a franchise
Vader being his father was great though.

True, I'm just happy Star Wars is back. I really thought George was serious at 1st when he said "Episode III" was it. But Disney has to come out the gate strong. It seems to be again they are going for an original trilogy feel. Also they announced Episode VIII for 2017 and Episode IX for 2019. Rian Johnson who directed "Looper" is the next director as Abrams was only signed on for 1 film.
Of course George wasn't able to keep the franchise going, he' s 70 years old he had to pass the torch. But he passed the torch with a blueprint/map and Disney would be wise to follow it. Also George made sure were weren't too over saturated. They are talking release a Star Wars movie every year for the next 6 years. They are basically trying Marvelized Star Wars. Seems to be JJ Abrams is making his George Lucas Homage Film like "Super 8" was a Spielberg Homage:
