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.
he doesnt like remakes? It was an amazing remake.
Spoilers alert or no if you saw Star Wars (1977)
Desert planet
a young men or girl with doubts about is or her future with a speed racer.
a droid with a important message that is being hunted down
A villain with a mask one that needs it to be alive and another for style
Cool X-wing and Tie-fighter in 1977, but that after 30 years in the star wars universe are still being used.
Death Star and a super, hiper death star that can be destroyed because again it was built it with a flaw
The death of an very important character.
a young jedi that needs two movies to be a jedi and master a lightsaber and another that doesnt need any kind of master to use the force and to beat the living crap againts a dark jedi that learn with luke skywalker and the dark ones.
Again, it was a very good remake, but nothing more.
Who cares what Lucas thinks, he made those awful prequels that had worse dialogue than a CW show. The reason the original Star Wars was good is because he had hardly any input what so ever, and then when they let him have control he turned the series to shit.
JJ Abrams may have remade the series but he brought it away from that garbage that Lucas is known for, and with that said I'm glad that it felt like a remake because all I wanted was the series to return to form without some garbage Muppets character and product placement like Jar-Jar and the Ewoks. ESB will always be the best Star Wars film, but that doesn't mean that TFA and ANH aren't right after.

It was definitely a soft reboot and followed A New Hope to the letter but I think what made it great and forgivable were the characters in the movie were fantastic.
I just hope now that they got this remake/reboot out the way now they can go in a totally new and different direction and start writing their own stories that expands on Star Wars.
Hmm..this article was taking a few too many shots at George Lucas for me. He's not happy with the film but he's not in uproar about it. And it was his baby that he's given into someone else's care. Yeah the prequels were awful but he also made the originals and he'll always have my appreciation and respect for that. He's well within his rights not to like it.
