It’s been 32 years since the provisional conclusion of the Star Wars saga, and 10 since a trilogy of prequels put it into hibernation. And I don’t have the control to do that anymore – all I would do is muck everything up. Every time you do something like that, you’re opening the wound again, and it just makes it harder for you.

“I rarely go out with statements to clarify my feelings, but I feel it is important to make it clear that I am thrilled that Disney has the franchise and is moving it in such exciting directors in film, television and the parks”, Lucas said.
