      There is a tendency for folk who have grown up with a franchise to want it to grow up with them, but that just ruins it.

    I don't think Lucas deserves most of the hate he gets. It seems like after the prequels, everyone just focused on his failures rather than his achievements. Say what you will about the man, but he was a visionary first and foremost. The fact he came up with the idea of a live-action Star Wars show 15 years before one was eventually made should be enough to tell you he was ahead of his time. So I want to take a minute to say thank you, George Lucas! You created dreams we still cherish today. 👏

I think the higher ups didnt think it'd be as big as it would end up being. But since becoming as big as it did but needing a bigger studio to finance it and at the same time wanting to maintain the rights and stuff, i guess something had to give.

    Recently that I realised that the reason George had his mind set on this is because of his sequel trilogy which would have involved Maul becoming the godfather of crime and filling in the power vacuum left behind after the Empires ultimate collapse galactic wide. This could have a prologue or tie in or sort. In fact almost everything from George's ST was recycled in some for expect Talon and the Whills microbiotic world.

    Since you just talked about "Star Wars: Underworld," I wonder if you can do other canceled Star Wars projects. It will be great if you do another video that covers on "Boba Fett: A Star Wars Story."
    I have some suggestions that I would like to share with you.
    I'm really excited for "Daredevil: Born Again" to come out next year. So I wonder if you will work on those canceled Daredevil and Punisher films? Do you think that you can also include:
    - 1970's Angela Bowie's "Daredevil and the Black Widow" TV series
    - 1980's ABC's "Daredevil" TV series with screenwriter Stirling Silliphant
    - 2000's Fox's "The Punisher" TV series with executive producer Edward Bernero
    One last I want to ask is that, since you talked about Toy Story and Pixar, I wonder if you can do some videos that cover some canceled Disney animated film and television projects? I want to share a list with you for another comment.
    Well then, I hope to see more videos from you. Take care.

    My head canon is that Underworld and the 2008 TCW animated show would have not only filled in the gaps between the movies but also probably would have set up for George Lucas's sequel trilogy after Return of the Jedi, that would have shown the criminal underworld between 3 and 4 and would have set the stage for these criminal elements to fill in the power vacuum left by the defeat of the Empire in Lucas's sequels. Lucas wanted Maul as the sequel trilogy's version of Palpatine and had he not sold Lucasfilm to Disney, Maul would have been explained as coming back during the Clone Wars and building his power base using the criminal underworld in order to take over the galaxy once the Empire was defeated by the New Republic.

    When I was a kid, I imagined an ABC show focused on the Galactic Senate called “The Republic.” I also imagined it having an optimistic tone. It would have been set between Episode I and Episode II (partially during the Separatist Crisis and maybe partially during the Clone Wars.

      ​@@isaiah147 yeah but not everyone has to be sympathetic, something that the plaguies book does well is tell us that palpatinw is simply evil because he can be, he was no real motive other than power and trying to gain power means he has to do evil things to get it and he's fine with that because he has no conscious... He's just evil.

    This is odd I used to grow up with the idea that Clones were always Storm Troopers thinking Disney changed it. But now that I think about it maybe it was always meant to be separate if Lucas already wanted to do this with Underworld.

    God damn, this sounds phenomenal. It’s clear you can see all these ideas incorporated into modern post-Disney Star Wats, just maybe not in the same way George would’ve done it. I’d argue it’s fair to say Disney did use his ideas, just not the 7-9 ones.

    The Palpatine back story sounds a bit like just "Some woman wronged me" so I'm not terribly sure I'd be that sympathetic 😂. Everything else actually sounds great! We're all wishing now that Lucas still had more control over the franchise, since Disney has done a pretty mediocre job taking over it. ❤ I'm glad they gave used some if these ideas, but wish Lucas would have had more input the entire time. I don't hate all that Disney has done, but it's been such an unguided mess.

    *What Could've Been: Bill Peet's Original Storyline for Walt Disney's THE JUNGLE BOOK*
    SUMMARY:
    Written with little supervision, Bill Peet
    (who wrote the story for Disney's
    *"101 Dalmatians"* and *"Sword in the*
    *Stone")* wrote his original treatment
    to *"The Jungle Book"* while preserving
    the ominous tone of Rudyard Kipling's
    novel, but also made it linear and adding more suspense.
    It is also here that the two animal
    characters: Baloo & Bagheera had
    their personalities from the novel
    switched into the versions we see
    in Disney's animated film, with Baloo
    now the "big, playful buffoon of a
    bear" and Bagheera now the serious
    -minded mentor.
    The treatment opens with Mowgli
    being rescued by Bagheera & the
    Wolves from falling from a waterfall.
    Mowgli's journey from the jungle
    to the Man-Village would have been
    the film's central storyline.
    King Louie (an original character
    created by Peet), the leader of
    Bandar-log, kidnaps Mowgli and
    would to get him to teach them
    how to make fire ("the red flower")
    and to rebuild the ancient city.
    King Louie would also show him the
    treasure under the ruins (this was a
    plot element borrowed from Kipling's
    *"The Second Jungle Book").*
    At the Man-Village, Mowgli gets into
    an argument with the local hunter
    Buldeo, which caused him to go back
    to the jungle with a torch and he
    use it to scare those who attacked or
    mocked him during his journey
    and confront Shere Khan. He is then
    captured by Buldeo who drags him
    to the ancient city in search for the
    hidden treasure. After taking some
    of the treasure, Buldeo attempts to
    burn the jungle to avoid the threat
    of Shere Khan, only for Shere Khan
    to attack & kill Buldeo, before he is
    then killed by Mowgli with Buldeo's rifle.
    The story ends with Mowgli now hailed as a hero in both the jungle and the Man-Village and he is declared the first human member of the Wolves' council.

    This all sounds good except for the part about making Palpatine sympathetic. As the Darth Plagueis novel revealed the guy was literally born evil. Even without the dark side he was a menace "accidentally" killing two people with his speeder. Plus George had always called Palpatine the devil when it came to him and Anakin.

    According to the 1313 Devs, the main character wasn't originally going to be Boba Fett, but George just came in asked them to make Boba Fett the main character.
    The first public footage they showed of the game was made very close to that decision, which is why he doesn't look like Boba, and why Devs don't say who he is.
    Not the only time George has messed with game development. The cancelled Darth Maul game was originally set during the Clone Wars, but then George said he wanted Darth Talon in the game, so they scrapped what they were doing and shifted the time period to the Legacy era.
    A lot of ideas from Underground have been referenced in the new canon. Sheev as you mentioned in the video, but the Droid Grota has been name dropped a few times.
