GLUCA tells JCAME that his STAR7-9 would've focused on the Whills, creature that feed off the Force. Antibody Jun 13, 11:00

I don't know any inside stories about what happened to star wars/lucasfilm, but his last line here "I never got to finish" makes it sound... MattW Jun 13, 11:06

he delivered his outlines/treatments to Disney at the time that Lucasfilm was sold to them. they threw them in the trash and hired JJ slipping jimmy Jun 13, 11:10

Was he prevented from making a sequel trilogy before the sale? I thought he was solely in charge of the whole franchise up to then {nm} MattW Jun 13, 11:15

my understanding is that he had been developing the ideas for a while with the intention of making them when Disney came knocking {nm} slipping jimmy Jun 13, 11:33

It still boggles my mind that they rushed to make 7 without outlining 8 and 9. {nm} Antibody Jun 13, 11:16

+1 - Absolutely {nm} -JPV- Jun 13, 11:31

i thought the talk at the time was when they fired Arndt, then KK, JJ, and Kasdan huddled up to re-break the story for the whole trilogy slipping jimmy Jun 13, 11:35

The character Poe is an example that they're making it up as they go along. {nm} Antibody Jun 13, 11:45

thats how Abrams works, right? we'll find the story as we go approach {nm} Moviesnob Jun 13, 12:22

But that's not how Disney, one would think, works. At the very least some kind of loose outline for the trilogy. {nm} -JPV- Jun 13, 12:30

Lucasfilm is not synonymous with Disney. KK's biggest headaches have been her struggles with talent and getting the right talent with the Moviesnob Jun 13, 12:51

Oh lordy! You might be right. If TFA is the 1st season of Lost, Episode 9 is gonna make TLJ look like The Godfather Part II {nm} JSpicoli13 Jun 13, 16:05

But I think that's why Rian wanted to do the project - he got to do whatever he wanted without interference Silverblue76 Jun 13, 14:39

What's really dumbfounding is Disney deciding to move away from Jedi & Sith, make the force like a superpower and trash the OT, shows .. Baron_Darcon2017 Jun 13, 12:13

George Lucas had developed story treatments for 7-9 as part of the sale (and Solo was in the works before the sale too). Disney .... notfabio Jun 13, 11:16

without having read the treatments myself (and i feel this way about the prequels too), there is a version of George's story that could be slipping jimmy Jun 13, 11:42

The outside forces were possibly lots of people saying some variation of "My god George, do you know how stupid that sounds?" {nm} DTravel Jun 13, 12:48

no more or less stupid than the original Star Wars pitch must have sounded in 1973. his first drafts of that were unreadable and unfilmable slipping jimmy Jun 13, 13:42

Sounds like you're saying GLUCA used the Force to create the Force. DTravel Jun 14, 14:07

"So what you're saying is The Force has . . . avatars?" {nm} JCAME Jun 13, 11:09
