  • An update on the rumor that George Lucas may be entitled to residuals from some of the original and prequel Star Wars characters I reported on a few days ago. As well as providing more evidence that apathy has set in with the franchise.

      Lucas didn't create those either, workmen in Britain created them, even though he held the rights. Even C3PO which is credited to George's vision is just a direct rip off of the 1930s movie Metropolis.
      George hasn't had an original idea in his life. Which is fine, as long as he creates his own stories, which he did do.

      Star Wars itself is just The Hidden Fortress in space...twice (ep1, ep4 and I guess you could claim ep.7 as well, now).
      BTW, I am not having a go at Lucas for this, he still created good films, even if inspired by others and relied a lot on others' visions for characters.
      Just like Red Letter Media has said in the past, George gets far too much credit for "Creating," Star Wars.
      He, at least, admits it though.
      (If anyone is unsure about the connection to Metropolis, just google the film and look at the images for it.)

    George: What’s up Disney, how’s it going?
    Disney: Not so good!
    George: I sold you a money making, billion dollar 💵 IP, what happened? 🤔
    Disney: We purposefully alienated fans, went out of our way to subvert expectations, decided to kill off all of the original characters, bypassed character arcs in support of pushing Mary Sue type characters and when all of that began to crash and burn-we decided to blamed the fans for it!
    George: You did what? Tell me you’ve learned your lesson?
    Disney: We’re Disney, it’s our way or bust!
    George: Hmmm...sounds like you haven’t eaten enough humble pie🥧 yet! 🤔
    Disney: And your suggestion would be?
    George: Great storytelling is an art! How do you know that you’ve done it right? When you give people an avenue to escape reality, if but for a little while! When you introduce new character, you give them room to grow and be relatable! As you faze out older characters over time, you ramp up the new ones in a manner that both old and new fans would appreciate!
    Disney: But we want to use this platform to push identity politics and all of our other agendas! We don’t care for the longtime fans, but we’re not going to admit that we need their $$!
    George: SMH: When are you people gonna get it through your thick skulls that people don’t want that stuff in their movies! You just don’t get it! People go to the movies to escape that which you have decided to focus on! If they want that stuff, they would simply turn on the news or go to various websites! They wouldn’t pay 💰 money to have it shoved down their throats! I’ve made some serious $$ from those longtime fans and I can’t believe that you are so eager to alienate them!
    Disney: We hear what you’re saying, but we’re committed to doing things our way!
    George: Ok, have it your way! I’ll be here if you need me and when you do, make sure to bring your checkbook with you! 💰😉

      The Other Point Of View
      I, as a 51 yr old S/W mega fan, loved the prequels. They added to the history of the Skywalker saga.
      The sequels just left me empty and with more questions. I don't think any of can really comment until we have seen the last part of the trilogy... even if the 2 films so far didn't really have anything to do with each other... just the same faces.

      This was a huge tragedy. I got so much enjoyment from the EU over the years. Also there are so many parallels between the EU and the new series, albeit very poorly done, like Han and Leia's kid becoming evil. Disney pretends it's not so but the seeds are there. They should have just used the Young Jedi Knights as an outline for the new films but they're so greedy it's incredible and ruined Star Wars.

      ​@@achaudhari101 Yes and No. George Lucas did not read any of the novels and thought that wasn't his world, but he borrowed terms like Coruscant and characters like Aayla Secura, also the return of the Emperor in Dark Empire was his idea. Not to mention, the EU kept Star Wars alive in the 90s which incluenced Lucas decision to make the prequels.
      If Lucas made the sequels, they would have invalidated parts of the EU post-RotJ, but they wouldn't have been disrespectful to the franchise and Luke wouldn't have been a failure, but a wise Jedi master (Lucas is very pro-Jedi).

    Assuming the license deal is true as stated in the rumors (sounds plausible to me), it would have been so easy for Disney to just cut the old storyline off as it is, do a time jump (which they did) and start a completly fresh narrative.
    What we know. We have eaten that up ,if we assume an at least decent story, but somehow Disney was either not confident enough in their storytelling ability, or just plain greedy in wanting to do another Kimba the White Lion stunt.
    I assume it was a combination of both. What Disney didn´t know, and still don´t understand. We old fans are not only fans of the Skywalker story, but the SW setting itself. It would be have been enough.

    Compared to the new Star Wars films, the originals were a masterpiece, and the prequels were good. The new ones are just bad. Bad story telling, characters who you don't care about, don't care whether they live or die because they're boring 2 dimensional cardboard cutouts with zero personality who seem to do things 'because'.
    The original trilogy showcased strong male leads and a strong female lead, who had great personalities, weren't perfect, often made mistakes and could have fun too. They reacted to situations, it didn't always go their way, but they got up, brushed themselves off and carried on. The prequels were a great idea but since the end goal was to show how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader and the birth of Luke and Leia, it seemed overly long, yet rushed at the same time (long being all the talking in committee stuff), yet character development was rushed (for example Anakin going from Jedi Knight to child murderer in a matter of minutes). Yet even these characters felt real compared to the ones in the new films, the majority of whom I can't even remember their names because they were just grey men and women whom I didn't care about.
    It's not about making things politically correct. If you write good male and female characters, give them a good story line and make the audience care about them, it won't matter who you have as your leading characters (all male, all female a mixture of both). Just make them real people who react to situations like real people would. The audience has to care about whether they live or die, not get to the point where one of them dies and all the audience feels is relief and wonders when this nightmare of a film will end.
    Disney, sell it back to George. Erase the last few films from history (they were bad), and let George tell Star Wars the way it should be.

    What I am most sad about is, in my life time I will never see my favorite characters have complete arcs that were resolved by loving fans, writers and directors, and therefore I will never have new characters to root for or get invested in. The Star Wars universe is dead and has been for a long time. Han and Leia should have lived happily ever after...not dying back at the same starting point they were at 40 years ago. Luke should have married Mara Jade, had a kid or two and been the Jedi Master of the New Jedi Order. They should have rode off into the sunset and handed the legacy/franchise over to the new characters, leaving the universe open for the next 50 years to build and expand and give us movies, characters, and merchandise to enjoy. As safe as The Force Awakens was, it did try to give us a launching point to reset the Star Wars Universe. Ryan Johnson killed it all.
