While “Star Wars” games are dismayed by the franchise’s decision, it is assumed that there could be another set of DLC that would center on another trilogy, since Abrams’ “Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” is set to introduce another trilogy in the “Star Wars” universe. How did he feel not being involved, watching other people pilot a franchise he birthed, had he seen the movie, did he like it, and much more.

Alastair Cook’s men were expecting a hard slog at Kingsmead with the imposing figure of AB De Villiers still at the crease. Elgar, who made an unbeaten century in the first innings, was caught in the slips edging a full delivery from Finn for 40.
In a statement, Lucas sought to “clarify” his remarks.
Embattled Rahm Emanuel Pushes Reforms Amid Police Crisis
Squad-car video of the fatal 2014 shooting, released last month, set off protests and calls for Emanuel to resign. Van Dyke and other officers on the scene filed reports saying that the teen lunged at the officer with a knife.
His comments come after Star Wars fans have been debating whether the opening line of dialogue in The Force Awakens is a subtle dig at the creator for his “awful prequels”.

He says “the mayor’s office obviously does not direct investigations, nor are any employees involved in those investigations”. Jason Van Dyke faces six counts of first-degree murder and one of official misconduct in the 17-year-old’s death.
In a statement issued to Variety, he said: “I want to clarify my interview on the Charlie Rose Show”. “Every movie, I worked very hard to make them different, make them completely different with different planets, different spaceships, to make it new”. Lucas called the films his “kids” and said, “I sold them to the white slavers that take these things, and…”, he trailed off, referring to when he sold the franchise to Disney back in 2012 for $4 billion (The Force Awakens has already earned $1 billion). It sounds kind of like he was going to make an ill-advised attempt at a joke, only to realize midway through that it was a bad idea, but enough got out get him in some trouble.
Lucas also added that he has found it hard to let go of the Star Wars franchise.
He added: “They weren’t that keen to have me involved anyway”.
Lucas goes so far as to loosely draw parallels between Disney’s profit-oriented approach with the new Star Wars movie and the wave of 80s Star Wars knockoffs that engulfed Hollywood in the late 70s and 80s. “And I don’t have the control to do that any more”.

The Force Awakens premiered in the U.S. and Europe earlier this month, and is now the ninth highest-grossing film of all time, even before its nationwide release in China on 9 January.
