"We’d intentionally created a world that was visually and tonally connected to the earlier films, to not stray too far from what people loved and expected, and George was criticizing us for the very thing we were trying to do."
No shit. Say what you want about Lucas, but the guy is creative and he wanted to expand the story not just do a retread of it...
So why did George Lucas sell Star Wars, only to write an outline for 3 sequel films, and then get upset that Disney didn't use them? If he wanted those films to be made... could've just made them and not sold the franchise.
The reason of course was money. If one of the biggest entertainment corporations in the world offered one enough money to retire for life in exchange for an intellectual property, most wouldn't say no, but not having one's vision seen through to the end is kinda the most tragic thing to befall any visionary, regardless of money.
At this point through, I'm beyond sympathy. There there Georgie, wipe your tears away with a few billion dollars.
Oh please can you blame him for not wanting to make another trilogy after the stick so many fans and critics gave him for ROTJ and the Prequels.
Storytelling was his strong suit, but directing and dialogue wasnt. Disney would have been wise to use his story. It at least would have been a cohesive trilogy that way, would have been something new, mixed with the right amount of nostalgia. Plus Kassdan could have still scripted it, and Abrams directed. Could have been Best of both worlds.
Problem was Disney was arrogant enough to think they didnt any major input from Lucas to do Star Wars.
Also does sound a bit dickish, because he must have spent time on those storyboards, and sold it as part of a package. They should have just been straight with him and said, Theres no way we will use your storyboards... Which they knew they wouldnt.... But then he may not have sold it to them.
it is thoroughly unethical to smear a company along with its buyer after you cut a deal and sold it to them. Indefensible.

I mean, it's pretty ironic how some take it as "OMG Star Wars is truly ruined if Lucas is sad!", when the whole fandom agreed the prequels weren't great because Lucas had way too much control, when compared to the OT. Now it's just "hur hur Disney bad!". There's always a bigger fish (to blame).
if anyone wishes to actually challenge my point in a mature manner, instead of denying documented facts, I'll be happy to reply. If this was any other business and the seller pulled the same stunts, they would have the pants sued off of them; and even a halfwit lawyer with a community college degree would easily win the case in the buyer's favor. GL knew that he was safe from this, because of the PR nightmare it would create for Disney. he has no honor or sense of basic business ethics at all
