- 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.
Here's Hollywood Reporter with exerpts from the book: www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...

George Lucas: "We had a deal!"
Bob Iger: "I've altered the deal, pray I don't alter it even further".
The deal was 4.4 billion dollars for your company, that was it
@@WakeUpEternals Disney never shook his hand and told him they would use his treatments so what are you talking about
@@WakeUpEternals George personally told you he felt pressured? They gave him 4.4 billion dollars, ofcourse he was pressured haha
@@WakeUpEternals bro what are you talking about lol I'm broke I got no money, I'm just looking at things how they went down.
@@WakeUpEternals haha ok bro, whatever you say.
The Lawful Good: Suit Jeremy
The True Neutral: Leather Jacket Jeremy
The Chaotic Evil: Bathrobe Jeremy
Is that a _d&d reference_
What's D-bag Jeremy from Tales from the Comments section? I know he hasn't done those in awhile but I like that character.
@@ignacioenriquemendezchavez5912 D and D and other rpgs.
You are amazing
HOLY SHIT IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING D&D REFERENCE !!!
George Lucas clearly and absolutely said Palpatine was dead in an interview in 2013.
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.

Toasty Roach that was before he sold the rights lol
@@arthurmorel1943 I don't think that was the reason it was just cheap nostalgia bait. I was really worried with the palpy laugh and I was right to be worried it was a copy paste dumpster fire wasn't it. I'm mad.
@@arthurmorel1943 Nope, he didn't, Rian didn't need to kill Snoke.
I miss the days of Disney feeling magical, rather than maniacal.
I'd prefer maniacal. Now they feel mechanical.
That's a good line
the 90s animated Disney movies were good back then
Let’s be real they’ve always been maniacal... we just grew up
Well said!
In only a few years, Jeremy went from wide eyed child wearing a cape to a grumpy old man in a bathrobe.
Look what you’ve done Disney
Critical Nobody lmao, that's what the SJWs and the liberals are doing to all of us... I personally must have aged 30 years since this whole shit show started, lol!
The Luke character arc
Remember when he stopped wearing that cape, his star wars blankey from childhood. A more sure sign of the death of the saga than any other.
So, you mean...out there, in his TH-cam island on the Internet, he's now old and jaded and wants nothing to do with the Republic or the Resistance?! And he'll rudely turn away fresh new TH-camrs who come to him to beg training!?!? EXPECTATIONS SUBVERTED!!!
He turned him from Peter Parker to J Jonah Jameson - you did this Disney
Never thought I’d see the day Jeremy was sick of Star Wars
Tadicuslegion78 that’s how I feel too and I hate Disney for it.
I’ve already seen it. Back in the day, he constantly bashed the prequels years after they came out. If he had this platform back when the prequels were coming out, he would have acted much the same as he is now.
this is how Marvel fans felt after Disney tried to shake down Sony for Spider-Man
I never thought I'd see the day _I_ was sick of Star Wars.
Arthus850 yes but you would think they would have learned for that... but no they didn’t
The prequels feel still authentic. The sequel trilogy feels like a fake fan fiction.
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".
Authentic with all that CGI? :P
@@Hirnlego999 yeah
@@Hirnlego999 The Prequels had bad dialogue but the story was straightforward, clear and easy to digest. The Prequels was the epitome of so bad its good. Meanwhile the same thing could not be said about the Sequels. Its the kind of bad that's offensive.
@@marcelinauy9037 "story was straightforward, clear and easy to digest" Well, can't agree here. I've read tons of politics but the trade war nonsense puts me to sleep.
What the sequels do better is actors with more emotion, and more clear as to who one should root for. Basically I agree with most of Plinkett's points of view.
Man I'd love to see Lucas' original script ideas
If Lucas sells them in book form he'll make more money than rise of Skywalker will make.
Or he should give it to fans and they will make a fan-made movie of it
They should have actually kept him on as a story guy instead of just saying they would. He’s not a good writer or director, but he knows this shit better than anyone and would’ve helped with the transition.
Me too. I know if George would have finished his version of 7,8,9.
We would be a much happier fan base.
Disney totally destroyed everything about Star Wars.
Actually I believe that there is only 6 Star wars movies....the one's that George did. The Disney ones "DO NOT COUNT!!!!!"
🖕off Disney 🖕off
nvrules27 I agree too. I think he could work well as a Kevin Fiege type of producer-overseeing everything and the entire saga will have a clear, one minded, story. I hardly believe Kathleen Kennedy knew what she was doing tbh.
George doesn’t have to write scripts because we all know how goofy his dialogue is when it’s unsupervised and he’s not the greatest director.
“I shouldn’t have to ingest the books to understand the movies”
TRUTH
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.)
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
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.
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.
@@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.
“The main thing is to protect these characters.”
*kills Han Solo, kills Like, Carrie Fisher actually dies but Leia is still alive*
Harrison Ford asked for Han to be killed off, Luke's death was important to the story and he will return as a force ghost in the Rise of Skywalker, and how is Leia being still alive a bad thing?
Victory the Folf yea luke being a little bitch the entire movie then dying, really protesting his character
@@planetdeadwing5895 Because the one character they kept alive now has a dead actress to portray her. And they never had all three characters meet before that happened, which should've been a crucial thing to do.
@@poleythepolarbearandfriend7684 Right, because fuck character development and substance, making him generic space Jesus who shows up and kills all the bad guys like the fans wanted would REALLY be showing him respect...
Not to be morbid but, Leia lives because Carrie Fisher beat Disney to it.
Jeremy, you went through more of an arc than any character in that sequel trilogy.
George Lucas: This deal is getting worse all the time..
You can notice how Jeremy is disappointed in Star Wars by this point that he doesn't wear his Star Wars cape.
Lmao
Star Wars died in 2012, the Mayans were right 😔
@@samd2013 star wars was always a kid movie that were somehow held to the highest standards ever.
Grow the fuck up.
@@TheDictismiT it means something different to many people
So shut the fuck up
maybe he read the leaks :D
“So this is how liberty dies.... with thunderous applause”
“So this is how star wars dies....with silent betrayal”
The Mouse sends his regards.
It's poetry, it's so that they rhyme.
Deric Robert I thought Star Wars died with the prequels that GEORGE WROTE AND DIRECTED. Well, that was the impression we got back then so...
Actually, Star Wars die in 2015 with The Force Awaken, and it was with thunderous applause.
"This is how Star Wars dies... with George Lucas being naive and whiney."
And then he wasn’t even invited to TROS premiere
Perhaps for the better.
Vitaly Koltsov What? How can you be so heartless?
@@Operation_Bagel No. I think it's better for him to not see how they massacred his creation. It's the least they could do for him.
@@Operation_Bagel Yes, what Outdated Leon said. And even if George had been invited, I would not be surprised to learn that he turned it down.
If I was George, I wouldn’t want to go and watch my legacy shit on. Plus him being there would lead to people assuming he condoned the movie, and they’d use it against disgruntled fans. “Well George Lucas supported the movie!”
"I'm sorry George Lucas" is pretty much what we all need to take away from this.
He still needs to say sorry for the prequels, though. Stop being an apologist just because you don't like the sequel trilogy
@@drewb2444 Wow, that is incredibly selfish and entitled.
@@drewb2444 It's because of fucking assholes like you that we are in this clusterfuck right now.

@@drewb2444 why would he need to say sorry for making a film you didn't enjoy?
Grumpy Bathrobe Jeremy is now my favourite of his forms.
It's "Punished Jeremy" now (I totally stole that from another comment)
You will never convince me that his coffee cup isn't filled with Vodka in this video
It's not even his final form as well.
This comment wins the internet...
It's my favorite too. What a disaster Disney Star Wars turned out to be...
Disney: I am altering the deal pray I don’t alter it any more.
George:This deal keeps getting worse
J B All the time
You nailed it
Exactly
Here's some clown shoes and a unicycle that you will ride everywhere. I have altered the deal, pray that I don't alter it further.
Disney: “Here is a unicycle, you will ride it wherever you go.”
"The Last Jedi really hit Jeremy hard eh?"
"It hit us all hard man, real hard"
But it seems like both this book and current movie just broke him. The poor guy.
Some of the Actors are good people but it seems like all the Billionaire studio higher ups are just VILE assholes out to fuck over as many crew, actors and creators as possible to make EVEN MORE MONEY!!!!
@@Blynat while proclaiming themselves higher beings of morality
Did you even watch the video? He said the force awakens broke him more than the last Jedi and said why
@@Blynat George Lucas is one of the people that tries to wring as much money out of people as possible as well though. He's the godfather of making tons of overpriced merchandise with his films targeted towards children, he's the one that started trying to extort theaters into getting all the money for the first weeks after release, etc.
There’s a difference between a strong female character and someone who never has any adversity, never loses, and has no noticeable flaws and never takes damage.
There's a big reason why people love female characters like Wonder Woman (notice how "sexist males" never appeared with that film), Alita and even Black Widow are loved characters and why people are hyped for WW84 and Black Widow and really want a Alita sequel. Hell go further back and you will find mountains of love for characters like Ellen Ripley, Sarah Conor (T1/T2 version) or even Furiosa from Mad Max. Hey though you hate Rey and Captain Marvel so you're a sexist pig.
@@wallywest4727 no one would have minded about Captain Marvel that much if the lead actress never opened her mouth saying she won't take criticism from white males and tell us what movies aren't meant for us or it would have been just another MCU film some would have enjoyed and others not.
@@caliente2512 the funny thing is, when no male would go to the cinema for those movies,... ill bet you its going to be huge box office flop, because stripping away 50% of your audience doesnt help sales.
@@Brainreaver79 men are more than half of superhero movie's audience including those with female cast.
@@caliente2512 yeah, i know, but with those comments like whose from captn marvels actress could have had that result,.. thats what i meant
The Jeremy Jahns Star Wars playlist is one of the saddest sagas of progressing disappointment you’ll see. From the trailer reactions to Force Awakens to this video, the difference is night and day. It’s happiness and sadness.
If Jeremy Jahns is no longer excited by Star Wars this is truly the darkest timeline
*Jeremy has joined the Fantom Menace*
The saddest part is knowing that majority of SW fans went through the exact same transition
@@CouchCit unless you were one of the skeptics that wasn't convinced that Lucas selling his baby to Disney sounded like a good idea.
@@CouchCit I know I fuckin' did. When the anger leaves, all there is is saddness and a lack of hope that anything meaningful will be made.
@@Angelofexecution I'll admit, I had hope, even if it was a child's hope (metaphorically speaking as I'm in my 30's now).
Congratulations Disney.
This is the quintessential TH-cam reviewer, a man who used to don a Star Wars blanket in response to every trailer.
*You have exhausted all of his goodwill.*
Congratulations.
Replace "Disney" with "George", and that's the thing you would have posted 20 years ago if TH-cam was around.
@@miker.9138 it's like those that hated the Prequels have forgotten that everything that they hate in those movies were because of George Lucas
They made billions from fans. And fans still complain. GG
@@miker.9138 The prequels didn't ruin star wars as bad as Disney has
@Jimb0 eh, fans were complaining about how Midi-chlorians ruined the Force, how Jar Jar was an Abomination, politics had no place in a SW movie, how Anakin ruined Vader. People said George *raped* their childhood. They even went so far as to demand an apology from him! I mean, the entire reason the Prequels are called Prequels is because the fanbase tore a 6 part saga in half to better pretend 1,2, and 3 didn't exist.
I personally like the Prequels, but It was really bad.
As much as it killed him to sell it, I imagine being hated by people he’s entertained for years probably destroyed him more.
People actually had the audacity to say he raped their childhood. By saying that shit do you know what it can do to someone’s mental state? This man took all the hate till he broke.
You have people saying he should apologise for his movies. How fucking entitled do you have to be to demand a man apologise for trying to expand a world he created.
And now I hear of some of the reasons he sold beside the hate was he was trying to save peoples jobs at Lucasfilm and much more.
If I ever met the man, all I could do was say thank you the absolute brilliant world I and million other fell in love with and sorry for all the shit you went through.
Thank you, summed up exactly how I feel ❤
"George Lucas is a visionary, his world building is amazing. His script writing meh.. So you get someone else to write." See the Clone Wars for what thats like. George Lucas' vision executed by better directors and writers.
If only they kept them on to do the sequels
@@Muskateering If only Senator Amidala were here...
And the original trilogy.
Each of the three movies had a different director, and additional writers to help.
And there's nothing wrong with that, there's some writers who just need a hand in properly expressing the story they want to tell on screen, or on whatever medium they work on, the same way most book writers have editors.
The thing is, George Lucas did tried to get help in the Prequel trilogy. The problem was, they all rejected on helping Lucas cause they felt like he should be able to tell the story himself.
@@vashythewabbit8288 lol
Jeremy here had a full fledged character arc that's more coherent than the sequel trilogy.
Very VERY underrated comment right there.
So true
Instant laugh well done bro!k

FAILURE QUOTING JOB
The reason why The Prequels have been “validated through time” is because the fans that grew up with them as kids, are now old enough to speak up for them. Basically give their opinions on it.
Right, exactly. My first Star Wars Experience was Star Wars Clone Wars and after that I watched the movies from 1-6 in order and it was the best movie experience of my life. I love this franchise that's why this pains me😢
Really sorry they grew up on such trash. Star Wars has been dead since 1983
The prequels weren't good but they still felt like a Star Wars film. They were what happens when Lucas doesn't have an army of people slapping him on the back of the head for stupid lines/ideas. But compared to the Disney stuff, they are good.
Drew Bee nigga shutup
@@drewb2444 we grew up with both you fucking boomer, why would we watch the prequels and not the original trilogy? Not gonna be surprised if you don't know how to reply to my comment.
George Lucas: "I feel betrayed."
Yes, that's one of the unfortunate side effects of...betrayal.
Hahaha! Laughed because it's funny, cried because it's true.
It's KARMA. Now he knows somewhat the fans felt with all his stupid special editions, Greedo shot first, ghost of Anakin BULLSHIT.
Mar10
At least those changes were minimal and made with his own characters. Like, Greedo shooting first does matter, but certainly nowhere near as much as Luke willingly attempting to kill a child. George Lucas’ choices aren’t all great, that’s for sure, but that doesn’t change the betrayal he went through in the end
@@guldmattbb473 Luke didn't try to kill Ben Solo though. He saw the suffering, the genocide, and the destruction that Ben would cause and Luke's instincts told him to prevent it all. But the good in him stopped him before he could take action. His lightsaber activated, Luke froze filled with shame and the knowledge that because of his instincts, (instincts similar to when Vader threatened Leia) he had failed not only Ben, but his entire purpose as a Jedi. Ironicly, that moment was the event that semented Ben's turn.
Gavin Hamilton
That still was a drastic change to Luke’s character nonetheless, at least in comparison to Greedo shooting first. It’s not even that specifically that I took issue with personally, it was the fact Luke never even attempts to correct this wrong after the fact. Like, it’s Luke Skywalker, the man who willingly gave himself up to the Empire just to save his supposedly ‘already lost’ father from the dark side. You’re telling me that after causing something so monumentally bad, he’d just cower away and blame the entire Jedi order on it? Luke making an impulsive decision is one thing. Running away like a coward and never trying to fix it for years is one other thing. Hell, he doesn’t even try to reason with Kylo Ren after the fact. He just shows up, taunts Ben Solo for a few minutes, then fucks off with a snarky ‘see ya, kid’. That was his chance to actually be Luke Skywalker. The man who sees the good in even the worst people in the galaxy. The man who saved Anakin. To finally admit his wrongs to Ben and tell him he still has a chance. But no, they couldn’t even give him that.
man, Jeremy sounds like HE's betrayed
We've all been betrayed
you will be

Lets say you built this amazing car and then didn't use it for years. You get mad because some people didn't like the wheels you added to it. Then someone buys your car for $4 Billion and you were planning to paint the car purple. You say hey I have this great paint for the car, do you want to add it to the deal since I can't use it now? The guy says sure. Is the guy required to use your paint? No. Did you get your $4 Billion? Yes. Do you have right so tell the guy what color he paints the car, he now owns? No. Can you be disappointed your vision wasn't complete? Yes. No one made you take the $4 Billion. This by the ways is all very old news, is was talking about a lot prior to the release of AFW. Also did you really want a trilogy about the Midichlorians and the Whills? I know I didn't.
@@bobbyvee260 I've loved George Lucas' vision since I first saw A New Hope and would gladly and wholeheartedly take anything he has or had to offer over what Disney has given us. I'll bet that car would have looked amazing in purple - instead, we got hot pink with yellow polka dots and brown squiggles, a bag of googly eyes stuck on in random places all over it, and a dead fish hanging from the mirror.
The Disney Trilogy isn't canon, and no one is changing my mind.
What Disney Star Wars trilogy?
@@somerandolad my man
That’s like saying 2+2 doesn’t equal 4 and no one is changing my mind.
Although we fans can ignore it all we want and fan judgment can take other Star Wars content as canon all we want (kind of like "fanon"), too bad none of this changes the fact that we missed one last chance for Luke, Leia, and Han to get together before passing the torch. A proper sendoff. And Hamill and Ford are not going to be around for much longer...

Original trilogy: My Dreams
Prequel trilogy: My Childhood
Sequel trilogy: Adulthood
@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
@@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.
OT: WOW!
PT: huh?
ST: meh.
Pretty much the same for me. Although, I was a teenager for the first two sequels (15-17)
@You tube Star Wars shouldn't be Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, or Breaking Bad. It should be STAR WARS. Why is it so hard for people like you to grasp that simple concept? Lol
George: "Your overconfidence is your weakness."
Disney: "Your faith in your friends is yours!"
Yooo lmao

Jeremy needs to pin this!
A Frustrated Gamer Oh my lord I wish I could like your comment a thousand times 😂
It's kinda depressing when someone like Jeremy, who was (is?) a superfan of star wars, just sort of giving up on the new trilogy. He doesn't see the new movie as a culmination of anything, just damage control at this point. I felt like he held out longer than most of the fans, but in the end, even he fell to cynicism because of the greed of Disney.
I knew this was gonna happen months after The Force Awakens came out.
Hatchepsut what??
To an Johnson really killed it. We will see how they try and retcon things but I'm not seeing it in theater.
He is not the only one
He should've known better since he is a "hardcore" SW fan.

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

You know, it's sad/funny in retrospect. We prequel fans were so worried the PT was going to be ignored or ruined by the sequel trilogy. Little did we know it was going to be the ENTIRE saga, original trilogy included. We were so innocent then.
I love how Jeremy is in a robe and sippin from a Star Wars mug like he was just lounging around his house thinking of how pissed he is about this stuff and just walked into his recording room and started this video. So awesome 😎👍
"Let's make a strong female lead, and if anyone criticizes it, we'll call them sexist."
Hahaha brilliant
@SmashStomp Inc Not just Disney, Hollywood in general has forgotten how to write *good* female characters without having resort to dissing the male characters.
it bugs me how some people think that the quality of a character has to do anything with their sexuality or gender
When Kylo lost at the end of 7, all I could think was Frodo body-slamming Sauron instead of leaving with the boat, a movie later he'd kick down the door to Mordor yelling "The Lord of The Rings is here..... bitch".
I was honestly convinced that Rey--Su would join the dark side because it is stupid for the good guy to best the villain in the first part of a freakin trillogy.

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.
G Ren you’re an idiot.
@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.
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.
@@youtubeviolatedme7123She was supposed to oversee it! That's a what a producer does. Keep the bigger picture in mind, because unlike the writers and directors, who come and go, she stays on. This trilogy didn't even have a frickin' OVERARCHING STORY. There might as well have been no producer, because they clearly just made it up as they went along, anyway. I'm not a hater, but she neglected her responsibility big time.

autumn girl it’s so annoying. I HATE the prequels still, and I love the sequel trilogy. Both sets have their own problems, but at least the sequels are entertaining. The best thing would’ve been Lucas to write the story treatments, and have Disney change whatever necessary to make an awesome product.
David Miranda I think what Disney did was far worse. Two people he trusted to take care of his baby ended up turning it into what we have now just for easy money.
@@davidmiranda1785 The prequels and the sequels have their strengths and weaknesses. The prequels had Lucas' vision and added new ideas to the mythos, but lacked the execution and had terrible cgi. The sequels lacked Lucas' vision and ended up being too anchored on the past, but has better execution and production. Lucasflm needs to have a compromise and balance the familiar and the new in their next Star Wars content, kinda like the Mandalorian.

Never forget the day Disney bought LucasFilm. Everyone cheered, while I said this was not going to go well, and Disney will ultimately do what Lucas never did....actually kill Star Wars.

I am surprised by myself that I do not care anymore. Even the other star wars movies got uninteresting for me. I dont feel like to watch then so often like before force awakens.
I've loved Star Wars since I was that 6 year old kid watching A New Hope in my uncle's lounge room. Now after what's been done to it I just don't care. And to me that is genuinely heartbreaking.

I would have been fine with a vanilla fairy tale ending. I might have even liked whatever Rian Johnson would have come up with - regardless of views on choices in TLJ, it's thematically tight and attempted something different. I have yet to find one real person who is happy with TROS. How did they attempt to pander to all the SW fandom and somehow piss off every sector? It's really amazing, in a soul-crushing, heartbreaking sort of way.

@@deathsdoor07 He is saying the star wars fandom is unhealthy which is very true
That unhealthiness came about for a reason.
deathsdoor07 People in the fandom let these movies to dictate their lives so much that it has caused real life consequences for themselves and others. Some of these consequences include harassing and affecting the lives of the many actors involved in the Star Wars films when they are just doing their jobs. Jake Lloyd was driven insane, Hayden Christianson had quit acting cause of the hatred for his role in the prequels, and both Daisey Ridley and Kelly Tran were harassed to the point that they had to leave social media when they did nothing wrong. And it’s not just the cast members. I myself have been threatened by members of the fandom cause I chose to like some of the movies they claim ruined their lives forever. If those are not signs of an unhealthy fandom then idk what is.
I don't know if this was already said before, but what gives me a lot of respect for George Lucas and makes me sad now was the fact that he donated all of that 4 Billion to education and charity. He had absolutely no control over his creation, but he took all that it was worth and gave it to those in need.
funny how everyone always ignores this fact
This was a fantastic video. You have gained respect by the prequel fans and defenders, which i'm one of them.

George Lucas made the mistake of selling Star Wars to Disney.
I feel like fans WANTED him to do so all because of what he did with prequels.
Yeah I’m sure being hated for years and saying he raped peoples childhood did nothing to sweeten the deal. Fucken fans man
With the prequels we just did not understand how lucky we were, at least in the hands of Lucas, we had lucasarts who was exprimental with video game of star wars working with many developpers to make different type video game. And we did not have plotholish trilogy like 7, 8 and 9 with character assassination all over the place. We thought that the prequels were the worse, How naive we were to think it was the lowest point of star wars.
The expanded universe and the video game of lucasarts were hit and miss, but sometime they got some gem. With the disney treatments, getting something good is the rare anomaly.
Yeah he did make the mistake, but he also took care of all the people at Lucasfilm by making sure they would still have jobs working on future films. It sucks but nobody knew Star Wars was ever gonna come back before the Disney deal :/
No you made the mistake of thinking you own George Lucas. Its your fault that lucas sold it to Disney

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. It's like it when right over your head

Evil Peter I didn’t warp any facts, I simply told it how it was, and when you take that money in context you will see that Disney are losing profit. There wasn’t any excitement or expectation amongst the fan base for the Rise of Skywalker, believe me there was for Revenge of the Sith.
@@donnyannessa654 Yes you did. You're pretending that fans weren't so toxic to Lucas that he quit his own franchise, which is laughable. Disney also aren't losing money on RoS, that's obvious to anyone that know the basics of how you calculate the costs and revenue of a film. They aren't making nearly as much as they could with better films and a fanbase that isn't divided, but that's an entirely different statement. And again, even though I certainly wasn't hyped it's laughable to say that a film that had the 8th biggest opening of all time didn't have any hype.

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.

RJ is who threw out JJ's script
Igor admitted he messed up in letting this happen.
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".
@@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.

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.
