- George Lucas explains to us why the Disney STAR WARS movies failed. ✅ What George Lucas Did with the Money from Selling Lucasfilm to Disney • What George Lucas Did ...
He was willing to help guide the franchise but Bob Iger and Kathleen Kennedy decided to take STAR WARS in a new direction. Boy, are they paying for it now!
Disney has failed terribly with STAR WARS and has yet to recoup its investment in the purchase of Lucasfilm. Disney Lucasfilm should have respected and listened to the creator George Lucas.
Discussions relating to the possibility of The Walt Disney Company signing a distribution deal with Lucasfilm officially began in May 2011, after George Lucas's meeting with the then Disney CEO Bob Iger during the inauguration of the Star Tours - The Adventures Continue attraction.
Lucas told Iger he was considering retirement and planned to sell the company and the STAR WARS and Indiana Jones franchises.
On October 30, 2012, Disney announced a deal to acquire Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, with approximately half in cash and half in shares of Disney stock.

@@nikojanatuinen631 they aren't pretending that, they are on George's side, as is many Star Wars fans because Disney pumped out a garbage trilogy.
@@thegoliath9310 Umm... no. That type of behavior made him sell SW in the first place.
@@thegoliath9310 Correct. MTFBWY
@@nikojanatuinen631 any fan would know how George feels about disney stars wars
@@hvyarms4496 It's no secret he hates that shit.
I swear George looks like he’s about to burst into tears whenever he appears publicly
I'd be sad if I were a multi billionaire too.
If I wrote the greatest story ever told then inherited it to someone just to have them fuck it up out of carelessness and disrespect I would be pretty upset too
The sad thing is that, at one point the fans of his greatest work hated him, that’s why he quit making movies. I wouldn’t blame him, he probably thinks everyone in the audience hates him even if it’s not true
@@bolson42 I think that’s partly why he looks sad most of the time
He looks like me after watching Crystal Skull
I'd rather George bring back jar jar than Disney make another star wars movie
EvilOdysseus shut your mouth! Jar jar is the ender of worlds! The harbinger of insanity!!
I honestly didn't mind Jar Jar, but I hate the sequels with a passion. I was done at TFA and never watched past that.
Except Mando, which I enjoyed.
Darth jar jar had more character development than Mary sue skywalker and he could only say 5 things
Jar Jar was awesome, don't care what other people say.
Out of all the Star Wars movies, Rogue One is probably my favourite. As good as Empire Strikes Back was, it has aged. If they can make another like Rogue One, then I will let them off the hook for the last 2 sequel movies.
Disney: I don't understand
Lucas: That is why you fail
Exactly. Thanks for watching.
Yet you spent billions buying it..Disney suck..its almost a year The Rise of Palpatine came out. She's not Skywalker..how dare she takes that name
It didnt fail they were just terrible however the Star Wars Disney TV shows are far better than any of the Disney movies by FARRRRR
Disney understands, it just doesn’t care
@@NotMySTARWARS agreed in this statement.
Disney: you have turn them against me 🤬
George Lucas: you have done that yourself 😎
Disney: YOU WILL NOT TAKE THEM FROM ME!

So sad, Star Wars turned exactly into what he hated.
Yup and Disney has realized their failure. So now they’re resorting to Plan B to save their $5 Billion dollar investment by getting folls who know/love the Star Wars Universe and aren’t just there for the paycheck.
@@CJLAKE123 gives me hope hearing about that
You‘ve allowed this dark lord to manipulate you, until you‘ve become the very thing you‘ve sworn to destroy!
LoL. You turn something into $4 billion dollars and perpetual royalties and then tell me why you hate it.
I dunno I thought the new ones were better than the 2000s ones
“Look how they massacred my boy.”
-George Lucas
@@riseagain845 Absolutely. By miles. Episodes 1, 2, and 3 all sucked, and they still suck, but at the very least, there was a coherent and cohesive story arc, that did not rehash the original trilogy. Kathleen Kennedy lied to George’s face, telling him she intended to honor his legacy, knowing full well, that what she really intended, was to use her new franchise as a vehicle for pushing toxic feminism. She was so smug, and so inept, that it never occurred to her, that there should have been some story arc planning from the beginning, with directors who could maintain continuity. She and her cronies drove Star Wars off a cliff, and into the dirt.
@@riseagain845 yes
@Sith Jawa indeed
@@riseagain845 What? The prequels could have been spectacular but they went with a more kid friendly version. I still believe the story was great and that it connected all the dots. What Disney did was pure left wing man hating feminist garbage. How could you possibly have missed that?
@@riseagain845 They made Luke into a joke then killed him so he could be replaced by a Mary Sue. God it's depressing me just thinking about it.
This is the way

This is the way
So we all agree Big booty bitches is the way bet 🙏🏾
making movies that affect kids? That's an understatement. You did a lot more than just affect kids, you influenced an entire generation of people
idk man, i think kids usually fall under a specific generation
@@MrDanMasterI mean TBF there are still people in this generation who are adults that are influenced by star wars.
Several! And several more hopefully, i wish he could take it back and give it to the fans to carry on the legacy
Multiple generations imo. The prequel trilogy was THE trilogy for me. It wasn't the grainy Star Wars that bored me as child. It was a film that grew with me. I was 10 when episode 1 dropped. I was a teenager when Episode 3 came out. I fell in love with Star Wars because of the prequels.
I love the Prequels too but give the OT a shot it’s still good. I think the definitive editions are the best versions of the original trilogy as they add things that help tie back to the Prequels. It may not have the CGI that allowed Lucas to do everything he wanted with those films as he got to with the Prequels but they are still important to the story of Star Wars. Star Wars is a six movie long epic, and the Prequels are only half of the story. Each trilogy enhances the other.
"I studied mythology." -George Lucas
I already respect the man why can't others in your company do the same, Disney?
💯
lack of love and or passion, also money
See that’s why Tolkien never liked the Walt Disney company: because they never did study mythology with anything other than a modern simplistic view. And he was alive at the same time as Walt himself.
Funny thing is that this same mentality still exists in Disney to this day. Water everything down so that the postmodernists can enjoy it.
Hey hey, all members of the Disney writing team studied too. It was gender studies but still....
agreed
George, "I wrote the sequel trilogy."
Disney, "No thanks."
George, "It's treason then."
"No thanks, I think we got this". (They didn't).
Have you ever seen Georges idea for the sequels? Basically Osmosis Jones but Star Wars. Sounds awful.
would probably have been better then the vomit Disney threw at us... @@Bobaman5400
@@Bobaman5400 Mate, those were early drafts, of course they’re not gonna be the most amazing thing in the world

Simply put:
George Lucas had a vision.
Disney is a business.
That is usually the failure of most companies. Even if they are still successful. They fail to make a meaningful product that anyone actually loves or could’ve loved even more than what they focus on the most.
@@burt1216
100%
You still need to hold Lucas accountable. He could of sold to that group in Japan who were hardcore fans and wouldn’t of thrown out legends and definitely wouldn’t of pushed this PC garbage that ruined these last three. I’m almost willing to bet we’d be in the third to fourth movie of an Old Republic movie series about Bane or even better, Reven.
Lucas knew all of this. Because we knew all of this before he sold out to China ... I mean Disney. There had to have been multiple pitch meetings to discuss the future of this universe.
Nobody wanted to watch a Mary Sue do literally nothing while some purple haired freak made us all feel bad for simply having a penis. Or watching a very mad Hammel gurgle blue milk as feminists pissed all over his legacy.
I don’t feel bad for Lucas. I don’t care how he feels because he consciously made the wrong choice for a bigger pay day. Now what little was left of his legacy will be the butt end of every nerdy star wars joke for the rest of history. Lol.
@@edmontontech2008
Can you blame him? The fans treated him like shit, a bit like you are now. He cleaned his hands of it all and got a shit ton of money whilst doing so.
@@MR.ICE. I can blame him. He had a choice. He consciously made the bad one. He knew China’s direction was the wrong one. He knew the group in Japan would have stayed faithful to the source material.
Because one thing I do know about life is you never make people like you by constantly pissing on their hands.
I actually liked the prequels. I mean it obviously has some flaws, but Lucas’ majestic story telling was still there. The pacing was perfect and what ever political ideas he had, was definitely played to the back end like in the original trilogy.
If I stub my toe, it hurts, but I learned a lesson and make it a point to be more careful. Logic and common sense.
Lucas just kept kicking that wall.
So fuck him.
THIS IS STAR WARS!! We need this man back at the helm plz save my favorite franchise George!!!!!!
You 100% would have been saying when disney bought it "let's hope they can bring it back from what george did".
You think we forget that almost everyone disliked the prequels. And after the sequels were turning to trash you again think we forgot you saying "well now the prequels don't seem so bad".
Now suddenly it's "the prequels were always amazing".
@@Friendlyfirefish no one’s saying the prequel were amazing. They weren’t terrible tho episode 3 is still top 10 movies for me. Tho the politics were ridiculous. However it’s better than changing the fundamentals of Star Wars with no explanation. Deleting all non-cannon and some cannon books. And bastardizing the force. They could’ve and should’ve done better. Also tbh I’d prefer is Disney didn’t buy Star Wars and just kept it where it was. It didn’t need any new movies or shows tbh. It was strong enough.
@@Darth2416 no it needs needs the new things every now and then because it needs to be kept fresh in people's heads to do the thing George designed it to do... sell merch and licensing.
And "the prequels were amazing" is the exact reason these youtube channels exist. I literally has someone just respond to another post saying how amazing they were, manly because the fighting is flashy.
He won't come back, You guys have to understand he don't want to com back because he wants to spend time with his family, that's why he sold it in the first place
@@angerami77 no you’re right, and tbh I get it. He’s 70 by the time the movies would be done he’d be 80. But he never predicted this.
This man went from trying to break Hollywood’s rules to being the richest and most wealthy film director in the WORLD with one of the most successful movie franchises EVER. Good job George
*THX 1138* .....
I just wonder what rules he tried to break.. maybe I'm a stooge when it comes to lucas but he didn't seem like a rule breaker.. I'd say dennis hopper was way better at that.
He is become what he hated
@Osamabinlaggin6n yeah but even if it was going under financially, most visionary directors that repel big corps will never sell out no matter how much they offer.
Selling your own Film company is like selling your own dreams and visions in regards to directing. It’s seen as pathetic among other “big shots” that were able to keep/maintain their own companies whilst making them bank at the same time.
Selling to Disney is literally selling your soul to the Devil😂
@Ethan Hammons by pressure of people who hate the prequels because the prequels weren't OT.
George Lucas put his heart into his 2 trilogies, Disney did not.
And he put his prick in very young island hostages . Good roll model . Sick as Disney pervs .
Disney put money in it. And it actually pays... But no heart tho
Ehhhthe prequels had a bigshot mentality which amounted to a bland trilogy. But at least he didn't just redo the originals.
He got paid for it… so who cares! Disney put their money into it! So sick of ppl like you acting like $$ falls from the sky… ur type of person who protests the plant owner but neglects to realize the only reason he owns it is he worked his way up and bought what was needed… so sick of the woah is me mentality y’all have
@@oneup1entertainment19 Movies are a work of art. It's not entirely about money. Most writers and directors have a vision they want to show everyone. Money can be a factor for some of the decisions made but it's not the core reasoning for those making the movie.
George lucas started purely with a vision but by the time Return of the Jedi came, he had some focus on the money aspects, which was primarily about toys. The prequels were the same with some focus on nostalgia milking instead of great story telling.
When Disney took over, it become all about money and tripling down on the nostalgia milking. Even when they hire directors to make their art, Disney is breathing down their necks demanding they stick to the formula that they know works. This is why any Disney movie feels bland and like you're seeing the same thing over and over; it's designed for idiots.

We don't know that. Only time will tell. We all have a bias that future generations will not have.
Actually history has a funny way of doing the opposite actually. Alot of things are looked in a better light later on than when they came out. Plenty of things bomb now but could be classics in 15 or so years down the line.
@@Biokrave i don’t see the sequel trilogy ever getting that treatment. Not in a millennia
You know that he making a reference from the clone wars right?
@@DroptimalXay exactly. In the far off future it might be looked at really well, but because we have bias we don’t want it to be that way. But then again the sequel trilogy is trash so who knows
Disney thought it didn’t need to be great, they thought that Star Wars was cool because “Wooshy lightsaber, scary man in black, and lots of lasers” When really, the reason people love star wars today is Why they fight with a light saber, why they fight, why the evil lurks and why the good are good. Not because you said so, but because the movie showed me.
lmfao. the reason the new movies mad the toxic fans angry is because it ewww a girl!
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 no people hate them because it shit all over the OG characters, their efforts, and the lightsaber fighting is horrendous
@@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 not at all they the director was literally pushing an agenda how can u not see that. Take the mandalorian for example that's how you make females bad ass. They didnt shove them into our faces and try to make us like them they told a story about them. The sequel females felt extremely pushed.
@islanti what truth? I'm genuinely curious how you'll pretend to not just be a bigot.
@Minh Dang maybe it was hated because it was a horrible portrayal? also "feminist types" makes it real clear you're just another misogynist. typical.
The title should be "George Lucas describes why his movies were a success!"
Its the same reason why Disney movies failed
What's the difference?
Half his movies were recieved almost as badly as the sequels
@@hiram4115 Are you high?
Well 3 of them
George.. After all these years, please please know, that we love you and we miss you. We miss YOUR Star Wars. You created it and without you, Star Wars wouldn’t exist. You knew EXACTLY what you were doing. You had a vision and you wanted to tell a story, you did that perfectly.. And collectively, as fans we will always respect, love and appreciate you for that and the world you introduced us to and how you’ve changed and influenced our lives.
And on behalf of the fandom, seeing now where and how Disney and the current Lucasfilm staff have bastardised the franchise.. I am truly sorry for the way the fanbase treated you, the actors and response to your STAR WARS movies. And I think I can safely speak for everyone, in saying how much we truly want you back at the helm.
You are and will always be the godfather of STAR WARS. It will ALWAYS be YOUR baby. Regardless of whoever owns the rights.
❤
Thank you, Mr Lucas. Thank you, Mr Feloni.
He can't leave anything alone. I lost faith in him when I learned that he altered his films when they got released to the public in the 90s. Now you have to track down the laserdiscs or certain vhs tapes to watch the original films in their original cut. He's done these retcons and post release edits with almost every single one of his movies, adding cgi to decades old movies where it's not even needed, it's sad. Should've just left them be George
@@sonicseducer69 The ONLY thing I have a problem with that he changed, was the unnecessary addition of the “No!” voice over of Vader, in Return of the Jedi. Everything else, I don’t have a problem with. There’s actually some really good and logical changes.
@@DamianHowardTV it's the principle of it for me. The need to go in and meddle with things that are already beloved by fans. Then making it impossible to watch the originals by only releasing your new cut basically erasing the past and changing your history by altering your work retroactively. It's really not a good practice but he's done it with almost every movie he's made even outside of star wars
@@sonicseducer69 I see where you come from and in a perfect world, we should have easy access to all versions of the movies. Say, in Disney+ you could choose between the original and every revised version of A New Hope, kinda like rolling back updates in software or games.
However, I'd say these changes by Mr. Lucas are A LOT less bothersome than a new company taking the franchise that you love and turning it into a loveless, bland facsimile of the original work.
Taking characters you've grown fond of over the decades, and then absolutely demolishing their arcs and their accomplishments.
And on top of that, what little novelty they bring to the table, they also ruin.
I wanted to like the sequel characters. They had a lot of potential. But in the end, they're just slightly altered copies of the original cast, but completely squandered with no true depth added. Disney could have been bold in a lot of ways, but played safe with the story (bar The Last Jedi, which I actually enjoyed the most out of the 3 movies. That doesn't mean it's perfect, though) and just ended up with a messy husk of Star Wars.
When the father of star wars, says don't mess with my child. Listen to the man. May the force be with George Lucas, for life.
And with you.
He sold his child for a billion dollars
@@XxXNOSCOPEURASSXxX And where did that money go to?🤔

George made something real. And that's why his story succeed and is still loved today
Star Wars RIP 2.0
lucas saw it as way of telling a story that had mirrored society, had deeper meanings and philosophical ideas sown in. disney saw it as a fun franchise where every new character could boost their mini figure sales.

George Lucas: the man who captured lightening in a bottle, not by accident, but by sheer determination and confidence.
Yes, I wish he could get it back. Thanks for watching.
@@NotMySTARWARS Agreed.
and with a passionate team by his side ensuring he went on the right track, which was why the OT was such a success. Unfortunately it led to a pedestal of legacy so high that when he made the prequels, the team he hired were shit scared to say “no” to him, leading to the PT clusterfuck.
However, seeing what followed from the sale, I would take the PT anyday compared to the Extended Trilogy fiasco.
I am glad though that the demise of the ET has led to the Mandalorian series starting to bring the Star Wars IP back on track, Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau et al bringing the passion back into Star Wars, long may it continue.
and a lot of luck
Apart from the prequels but we all fuck up sometimes 😂
He has a heart of gold, and Disney ruined everything he stood for, it’s incredibly sad and insulting.
How did Disney ruin everything when Lucas did the following
1) Edited the originals multiple times
2) Refused to release any original unchanged films on digital.
3) Gave us the Ani and Jar Jar kids show.
4) Gave us 870 year old Yoda doing somersaults.
@@JSSTygerand I love every minute of it 😉
@@JSSTygerpeople like you are why George sold Star Wars. I hope you are happy with the Disney stuff, which in my opinion is awful. The prequels may have some things that are disappointing, but overall they are still pretty good overall. They certainly did not deserve the putrid reaction from the "fans". Well, you all got your way. The Star Wars sequel trilogy makes the worst of the prequels look worthy of Academy Awards. George may have gotten on your nerves for tinkering with the old films or refusing to release the original versions, but "fans" never take responsibility for being continual ba$tard$ towards him personally. You folks made him stubborn up and not want to give you what you demanded. You all were so hateful to him. There was no excuse for how fans acted over the years.
Then he shouldn't have sold it to disney. He's a sellout pos.
@@nikilauda3368he’s a sellout but what do you have to sellout? Nothing stop hating on other people selling out when you haven’t even began to get the point to sell out
Disney broke my heart. Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Marvel etc.... ruining my childhood hero's with their agenda.
Disgusting and disgraceful.
Yep, Disney had no vision, they just took a product that they didn’t understand and tried to spruce it up. Garbage, dammit George wish you never sold it to them.
Kingdom Hearts in a nutshell.
@@UnlimitedFlyers 1 and 2 were good... What the fuck is 3? Frozen? Wreck it Ralph? No Final Fantasy? (y'know, half of what made Kingdom Hearts what it was in the first place)
Wtf is Disney even doing
You people have to become to understand, Disney like any other major entertainment corporation is working under an agenda. It's not just entertainment anymore, it's value wash. In the agenda, their units are the ones who install values and ideas into populations unassumingly. This is why their products feel so chaotic and broken: because they do not conform and harmonize with the existant ancestral psyche of human mind, but rather try to break against it and instill a new post-modern set of values, rules and psychological construction. It doesn't feel natural because it isn't. It's a gradual mind heist. They are grooming you.
@@poetsrear that’s why I don’t watch anything Disney anymore. Hell, barely watch movies.
You watched the Prequels, right? George is a hack.
Gotta say, whatever you think of the prequels, his comment about studying mythology and the psychology of society - his heart was certainly in the right place. He gets all the respect for that. Disney on the other hand, doesn’t have a heart.
Read Darth Plagueis, then rewatch episode 1. George put a lot more easter eggs in the prequels than ppl think. Plus Nick Gillards lightsaber choreo has never been rivaled.
I didn't think 4, 5, & 6 were bad. They weren't as good as the first 3 granted. The Kathleen Kennedy Disney Star Wars movies are just regurgitated garbage with the possible exception of Rogue One.
@@helmutweikert3054dude 4,5,6 are masterpiece when it's released, there's a reason why it put higher imdb rating than sequels
@@helmutweikert3054Rogue One is very overrated, at it's core it suffers from the same problems as all the other NuStarWars stuff
Agreed, Walt Disney himself wanted his company to be more family oriented that focused on values. Smh Walt Disney would be turning in his grave if saw what they’re doing to his legacy
Disney: "Fans will appreciate us more than the prequels. We're not afraid."
Lucas: "Yes. You will be. You will be."
Somehow, the prequels now seem quite good . They have some retarded edges but the basic story of the prequels is actually very good. The new ones have I guess sleek visuals and expert craftsmanship but there is literally no ideas behind it. Except I guess the force is female and doesn’t need to train
@@christopherphelan4904 Rey managed to beat an injured and fatigued Kylo Ren. Luke mange’s to use the force with no training to pull his lightsaber to him and defeat the Yeti monster. She is not overpowered

The rich worldbuilding of the prequels is such a testament to his love of mythology. As someone who's most interested in this aspect of storymaking he has my respect a lot.
He sounds just like J.R.R Tolkien right here, we need more films from him
James Cameron, J.R.R Tolkien, George Lucas, Brian Froud, Jim Henson, Peter Jackson - some extraordinary men.

They failed because bad copies aren’t interesting at all.
Last 10 years Disney’s management should be fired: they’ve exchanged creativity with power and money. This is not what the audience wants.
They put wokeness, a sliver of star wars mythology, and cut out mangled parts of the old EU. And thought that was enough effort.
People will buy anything.
George Lucas didn't even know what he wanted: that is why his directed movies were horribly setup and why he sold out. No real foundation to his idea or goal for star wars.
The golden age of star wars was KOTOR and that quickly faded away.
Oh well lets see what other new thing catches my attention.

@@diegovera5162 Mandelorian is more like Firefly than Star Wars.
Exactly why modern Disney Wars is failing. No one involved has anything at stake so they don't care much if it fails. They aren't writing stories based on ideas that hold societies together but ideas that push us apart.
George Lucas understands what Star Wars really means to those who have followed it from the beginning.

His agenda was our government had gone too far. Episode 6 was a Vietnam imitation. An empire being defeated by the ruthless might.
Aaaaand toys
Exactly! Regardless of our political leanings George Lucas did something we all cater to which is escapism for those who want to escape and adventure for those who hunger it. I can see George really regrets his decision to sell Star Wars to people who I admit HAD a potential to make good movies but after fuck up after another I feel like I waste my energy for hoping some sort of redemption from Disney. I lost my interest for Star Wars when I watched dozens of solid criticism for Ep 7-9. Until one day I completed KOTOR 1 play through. KOTOR 1 seriously reignited my interest for Star Wars. It so painful to know that Disney pretty much retconned Whole KOTOR franchise and old republic era not to mention Expanded Universe itself.
@@chuk19100 Lucas was
always down for toy sales, that's why he called star wars a kids movie.
I did a paper on George in college. I basically talked about how Disney only had him around as a publicity stunt and didn’t really care for his input, leading him to ultimately sell Star Wars to them. It was hard for me not to sound pissed at Disney in that paper
The reason why George's version of the sequels never happened, is because of Kathleen Kennedy.
She knew those plans and was supposed to fight for them, convince disney to make it, but she didn't. She betrayed George Lucas and wanted to USE Star Wars for her own deeds, which ended up failing.

Love George’s Star Wars. Shame on you Disney.
Yeah well George is a moron if he thought for one second that the largest movie studio in the world wasn't going to milk his baby to death. I mean c'mon even he had blind faith in Bob Iger, that guy was not going to be at Disney forever. George's complaining does not make any sense half the time.
1-6 are all amazing. The prequels were underrated and the original trilogy were iconic. I do not acknowledge the Disney sequels. They’re not canon and they ruin the original films story!!!
Totally agree!
Your 100% right
The prequel‘s were underrated that’s a joke the third one is Decent but 1 and 2 weren’t good
@@mcdonaldssauce7095 they had very bad dialogue I grant you that but it had world building and did something unique that was ahead of its time. It actually dives into issues we face today before it was “cool” to do so. Prequels specifically did this a lot. George wasn’t afraid to dive into political and ideological beliefs. Star Wars would show us racism, pandemics, corruption, economic hardships, cultural conflicts, horrors of war and the cold hard reality that more often than not it’s the bad guys who win. Disney avoid these like the plague and would rather have a friendly goofy adventure with lasers and friendship then having to take a risk and try something new. Where in the end love wins overall because it’s the right thing to do. George showed us that it’s not love that saves us but more often than not causes a great amount of pain and may just lead us down a path to our own worst nightmare.
@@friendlyfriday3445 you don’t watch a Star Wars movie for the politics and the clone wars was the one to show people racism and way war is bad

While I will always have respect for Lucas for being the brainchild of my favorite series, I can't forgive him for leaving his creation in the dirt, permanently, to gather dust.
Disney might make a lot of mistakes in their Star Wars films/shows, but you know what? At least they EXIST.
Lucas made the far bigger mistake of giving up on Star Wars altogether after people endlessly criticized him for the prequels, which are suddenly not so bad anymore now that you all have new movies to shit on.
How many of you cried and complained about Jar Jar Binks, the useless battle droids, Ani's love story, and the political side of Star Wars? It was those people that ultimately caused Star Wars to be abandoned and sold to someone who doesn't care about reputation nearly as much.
@@EvelynKarlin No, the prequels are still awful, just less awful than the sequel trilogy.
@ I never said he owed anyone anything. Did you get a little triggered because I said people like you were the reason Lucas gave it up?
He didn't give it up because he got old, (he's STILL alive, you know?) he gave it up because of a fanbase that had become hypercritical, as demonstrated by the reply after yours.
I loved the prequels, they brought depth to the Star Wars universe that the OT couldn't dream of, and I love what Disney has done with Star Wars with the exception of the sequels. (Really just 8 honestly; if Disney stuck with one director the whole trilogy would have worked so much better. Abrams had a bunch of storyline and arcs in 7 that Johnson just abandoned in 8, and instead of adapting, Abrams tried to do damage control in 9, instead of reworking the story.)
I wouldn't say lucas let it die after the prequels, I mean sure we had years before we had any decent star wars material but between those years we had books and games come out during that time. Then we had clone wars and george was there alongside a good chunk of that project.
At least the prequels did’t ruin the lore of the original trilogy.
Exactly! Thanks for watching.
That's exactly what some p don't like about the prequels is that while yes it gave more depth to the sequals and the galaxy as a whole, it had mitoclorians in PM, some lack luster writing (GL isn't a good writer, he's a good world builder), and a meh ending. The Revenge of the sith ending could've been better bc the deleted scene where padmae had the knife shouldn't have been taken out.
Actually just in a few aspects, to the point that it's basically just nitpicking. Best example is Leia remembering Padme, but it's not too far fetched that a baby can remember something. I remember my baptism.
At least? The prequels are awesome movies, every bit as good as the original trilogy.
The world building is great in the prequels but the writing is God awful.
“I didn’t want the studios commenting on my work, I didn’t want them putting their little ideas in there”

You know, considering the many Animated movies Disney has made, they should already know these things. I just don't know how they drop the ball with Star Wars.
Before, the Fandom hated the Prequels for its bad writing (mainly in the dialogue). While time did allow it more gain validity, the Sequels gave us much more appreciation for its story.
If you also watch BTS for the prequel trilogy, George even acknowledges that mistakes were made. Disney though... nope.
@@jmmproductions6741 They destroyed it on purpose, not accident. Thanks for watching.
One thing many people fail to understand is that Star Wars, despite its futuristic setting, is based and has its soul rooted in Ancient Greek and Roman mythology as well as in they’re epic genre and even they’re political structure. So either Disney didn’t get this or they didn’t care since nor did most people anyway
Probably they didn’t care I’d think
Isn’t it based on a Japanese myth?
@@alteredninja Partially but there’s all kinds of mythologies thrown in from Greek and Roman to Norse and Anglo Saxon.
I honestly have no desire to rewatch any of the sequel movies, they are hollow.
Japanese myth? By Lucas’ own admission, it has elements of the Hidden Fortress, a movie by Akira Kurosawa.
Every time Lucas says something, I feel this weird inspirational joy in me. Every time Rian Johnson or Kathleen Kennedy says something, I feel like vomiting.
He made a perfectly fine story. And someone fucked it up with hatred and from being dumb and unprofessional. Poor lucas :(
It was all Leftist Politics. Fire Kathleen Kennedy.

@@stevenicol1 yet it's still true 🤣
Srsly tho they were a planned trilogy expanding on the first films, whereas the Disney trilogy was an unplanned cluster fuck of a shit show.
@Dante Dragonia no they didn’t, they were pure crap and horribly boring too. Anyone defending them needs to give their head a wobble.
Like saying piss is better than shit. It's on record the original movie was saved in editing and Irvin Kershner was the director of the best movie in the franchise. In the end it was 3 great movies about space adventure, the mistake was trying to recapture that with boring stories overloaded with special effects (prequel) and having no set in stone plan, terrible writing, a middle movie that derailed everything, while the company seemed to attack the very people that wanted to give them money (sequel).
So sad and disappointing that he sold out. He once said that these movies were his kids… Disney has done a great disservice to this man. Very sad.
The quote the great Dr. Ian Malcolm of Jurassic Park fame(,Disney) "was so preoccupied with whether they could they never stopped to think whether they should!"
Always had massive respect for George Lucas. Any Star Wars 'fan' who attacked him after the prequels should be embarrassed.
Criticism is fine of course, but acting like the guy is a moron who should take no credit for the original's success...that's just ignorant.
Me too. People are just confused or plain stupid, what can you do? I hear all the time George was an idiot and sucks, yet in the previous sentence claim they "LOVE STAR WARS." Obviously, they have no clue what STAR WARS is. Just because it has the name slapped on it doesn't mean it has anything to do with STAR WARS. Oh well, ignorance is bliss.
I'm with you guys. I love the prequels, they inspired me to become a professional digital artist. It worked, I make a good living.
Prequel haters are the problem, they drove Lucas to sell the franchise and quit. They made two of the actors suicidal. It's so easy to criticize when you've never created something yourself. Lucas is still a creative hero to me, we need him back.

Hard to blame someone who scraped their way to success for taking a multi-billion dollar offer, especially from an organization like Disney which would have seemed like the right organization to take the franchise further.

Don't worry. The force is with us and is guiding the future of the Star Wars franchise, back on track
He’s speaking nothing but facts here Disney only cared about money and selling toys not the fans of the franchise the lore or the characters
Correct. Thanks for watching.
@@charlieknuppowen5944 Mando is lore breaking, production mess trash.
I’m pretty sure Star Wars was mass marketing itself long before he sold it to Disney. George definitely cared about the money. Like how he said Mel Brooks wasn’t allowed to make Spaceballs toys because people might confuse them for Star Wars toys and would thus hurt their sales. He also, unlike Disney, massively micromanaged a lot of EU products (games, comics, etc) to the point where he squashed artistic expression from other people who wanted to create their own stories in the universe. And that was almost always to the detriment of the product. George also did not care for any lore but his own, often completely disregarding or downright disrespecting a lot of other people’s contributions to the Star Wars mythos. On top of the fact that, while yes, he is responsible for Star Wars’ creation and the bulk of the original ideas, he was also responsible for running those ideas into the ground by creating ALL of the movies worst additions to the franchise. And it was ultimately Irvin Kershner and the many, many EU writers like Timothy Zahn who shaped Star Wars into something greater. The sequels may not be perfect (no Star Wars movie is) but they’re a damn sight better than the prequels and would still be a damn sight better than the ideas George could have cooked up (look up some of the ideas he wrote for his own episode 7 script and tell me that’s what you would have wanted to see). Disney’s Star Wars is a mess, but it’s not that bad. Oh, and he co-wrote Rise of Skywalker. Yknow, the universally panned sequel? The one that EVERYONE says is bad? The Last Jedi was at least divisive. And the Force Awakens most of everybody liked. And he had no hand in either of those films. Think on that.
@@ohgoditsdave2837 Eh personally i gotta say at least the PT tried to do new things the sequels feel like soulless, corporately sanitized boring films. Are you sure GL wrote episode 9, that's the first I've heard of that. Disney had no plan in place for the sequels, just coming up w things on the fly, and episode 9 was the definition of a hamfisted, mile a minute mess. They disregarded 30 years of lore by dismissing the EU, and instead of adapting cool characters or stories from that, made their own thing which was not good at all. I personally didn't like episode 7, it felt like a boring bland inferior remake of episode 4
Star Wars was literally always about selling toys. Do you not remember when phantom menace came out and we were bombarded with millions of toys? Or when the first star wars came out and they were giving out coupons for the toys?
We miss you George. I know a lot of fans turned rabid on you but the rest of us still appreciate everything you’ve done
Indeed, Thanks for watching!
The irony...now the studio does nothing but put ideas in his work 😡😡😡😡😡
That's why I belive the one true cannon timeline is:
The Phantom Menace (32 BBY)
Attack of the Clonez (22 BBY)
Revenge of the Sith (19 BBY)
A New Hope (0 BBY)
The Empire Strikes Back (3 ABY)
The Return of the Jedi (4 ABY)
Because that's Lucas' vision and soley his work. That's the true star wars story.
I love clone wars, legends, comics, books, etc. But this is the true star wars story.
The Clone Wars is canon and was made by George Lucas. Without it, the story is incomplete
@@angerami77 the story isn't really incomplete. You get the idea of what happened. Of course the lore being expanded upon and giving us all those great stories and characters is awesome though.
But I don't really care about a "true" canon anymore. It's been a few years and I've gotten over that phase of being a fan. I like pretty much all of the content and accept the Disney canon.
Nobody has explained to me yet why using the Battle of Yavin as a historical benchmark makes a single bit of sense when it should be Post Empire.
@kylekillgannon because it's the first movie and the big ending of the original. Plus, the Empire reigned for years, so it would add another clarification. Pre-Empire, Empire, Post-Empire. With two of those having overlapping initials. There have also been so many different governments in the galaxy that singling one out also doesn't make a whole lot of sense either.
But pretty much the main reason is that since it's the climax of the original, it's easier to base the timeline around that. So you know it's relation to the first film timeline wise.
@@DrFatesOrder yes but it being a movie has no bearing on those within the movie. There isn't a significant reason that moment is more important than the death of the emperor other than it's in A New Hope.
George has always had a vision for storytelling and visuals. Sometime he doesn't get enough time to make it perfect. Or it's to complex for a viewer to understand. But the man understand film making and storytelling on another level
The prequels had potential to be masterpieces the bad decision was him writting the dialogue because has an director he is really good but has a writer hmmmmm not so much.
Disney StarWars failed because of inconsistent charakters. Roles that behave unlikely and psychologically chaotic. It makes the movies very unpleasant to watch.
Yep. Theres no baseline to follow. Plus characters that are badly written and forced to fit certain agendas... The Sequels were made to fail. Luckily Boyega and Isaac buried their roles for good. Even Mark says hes done for good. How much have to happen till Disney realized their wrong way?
👍
Dave filoni is a continuity wizard. The last trilogy is a soup of recycled sets (shots even?) it gives palatine his epic sith ending and ties up the skywalkers but I suspect they built most of the films around those sequences and scaffolded towards that more than anything. It's why it does such a poor job picking up the torch to begin with. Its not perfect but it's the ending they got. Let filoni stitch it back together and we'll get yuuzan vong/thrawn face-off eventually.
@@Monkeyshaman As i said before, Filoni cares for SW and its Fandom. He does his best to keep Fans happy and Disney smiling... I dont know how much money he earns, but its most likely not enough. Hes a Symbol for Fans that says "We hear your wishes".
@@kentomarek6823 he really isn't' he was able to fill out the blanks of the prequels mostly because the people who booed out Lucas couldn't be bothered to 'watch kids cartoons _boo boo'_ i.e. he's kept continuity in spite of disneys trend sensitivity. Landing us in a place where most people are like: 'right, creator driven content is better.' but yeah, more likely than not he's not making enough.
