When it came to Disney, Lucas had a rather loaded phrase to describe the company he sold Star Wars to for $4 billion in 2012, as transcribed by the Hollywood Reporter.

Blaze engulfs Dubai tower near fireworks display
Firefighters are still working to douse the embers from a fire that engulfed a 63-story luxury hotel in Dubai on New Year’s Eve. The Civil Defense said “cooling procedures” were still underway Friday, and that the investigation was underway into the cause.
The term is more ironic after Disney made a point of having more diverse leads for The Force Awakens. “I don’t like that”, Lucas said, likening the sale to a painful break-up and complaining that the franchise had become too commercial.
Leicester vs. Manchester City: Winners and Losers from Premier League
Neither keeper had a save of note to make in the closing stages, as Leicester finished strongly to earn a deserved point. Manchester City continued their awful away record as they failed to win on the road for the sixth game running.
Lucas apologized for the “very inappropriate analogy” he used in comparing Disney to “white slavers”, a statement he made during a lengthy interview with CBS newsman Charlie Rose. “Every movie, I worked very hard to make them different, make them completely different with different planets, different spaceships, to make it new”.
Texas ‘Affluenza’ Teen To Be Returned To US From Mexico After Capture
Mexican authorities said they had been working with the US Marshals Service since Saturday to locate Couch and his mother. He vaulted up the hate list later that year when a judge sentenced him to 10 years probation instead of 20 years in jail.
In the statement, Lucas said Disney is moving the franchise in exciting directions.
Legendary filmmaker George Lucas has admitted his age stopped him from writing and directing more “Star Wars” films.
JJ Abrams has apparently muttered to his pals that the script for “Star Wars Episode VIII” is so good… he regrets departing his post.
In a statement issued to Variety, he said: “I want to clarify my interview on the Charlie Rose Show”.
But Lucas told Rose that he didn’t much care for the movie.
He added, trailing off: “I sold them to the white slavers that take these things and…” “And so I said, ‘OK, I will go my way, and I’ll let them go their way'”.
“I have been working with Disney for 40 years and chose them as the custodians of Star Wars because of my great respect for the company and Bob Iger’s leadership”, Lucas said.
You nearly feel bad for George Lucas: He has to sit back and watch Disney take over his beloved franchise and crank out the biggest movie in the world right now.

Lucas discussed his decision to stay out of the new installments in the hour-long interview with Rose and had criticized Disney’s retro, fan-centric approach to “The Force Awakens”.
