Breaking up is hard to do, and George Lucas is taking his exit from the franchise rather hard. Back in November, he went into detail about his "break up" from "Star Wars" (though not many relationships end with the $4 billion sale of a major company) and in a much longer holiday-season chat with Charlie Rose, he once again reflects on how everything went down.
In 2012, George Lucas sold Star Wars to Disney for billions of dollars. In a new book, he reveals why...beyond those billions of dollars, we mean.
If George Lucas had his way, Leia Organa would have been the main character of the Star Wars sequels. Luke would still die a hermit, though.

In this case Disney was correct. Can't say the new film 100% great, but it IS 100% better than all three prequels put together.
I want the old Star Wars back. People do not realize that Disney nearly has a monopoly on all lucrative film properties and new titles are not getting much luck these days.
