More proof this is JJ's vision as I said. George Lucas even agrees. I have always predicted he'd do Star Wars better and on December 17 I'll have the proof I need.
There is no such thing as working over someone’s shoulder. You’re either the dictator or you’re not. And to do that would never work, so I said ‘I’m going to get divorced.’ . . . I knew that I couldn’t be involved. All I’d do is make them miserable. I’d make myself miserable. It would probably ruin a vision — J.J. has a vision, and it’s his vision.
George Lucas' own words.
