Just like a dissatisfied ex, he took his analogy additional, joking, “I sold them to the white slavers …” before chopping himself off. Lucas asserted in that has plans to make more “experimental” films sooner or later, & he criticized Hollywood’s for not taking possibilities. 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 directions in film, television and the parks.

George Lucas admits his age stopped him from writing and directing more “Star Wars” films. “I love them, I created them, I’m very intimately involved in them”.

Indeed, “Force” has grossed almost 1.3 billion dollars since its December 18 release, breaking the record for the biggest box office weekend of all time. It has also drawn a warm reception from critics.
He explained: “They looked at the stories, and they said, “We want to make something for the fans”…” “I noticed the last few movies that I’d made were costing the company a lot of money and I didn’t think that was fair to the people that worked there or the company”.
