But then the metaphor drifts, and Star-Wars-as-ex becomes Star-Wars-as-children, and then all of a sudden the white slavers of Disney are taking George’s children away, and we’re left with a very uncomfortable description indeed. Lucas has apologized for criticizing Disney’s handling of “Star Wars” and saying he had sold his characters to “white slavers” in a recent interview with Charlie Rose.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been out for nearly two weeks now, and chances are many of you reading this are on your second, third or even fourth viewings. “It’s very much the kind of movie they’ve been looking for”. I don’t like that. “Every movie I work very hard to make them completely different, with different planets, with different spaceships, make it new”. “They weren’t that keen to have me involved anyway, but if I get in there, I’m just going to cause trouble, because they’re not going to do what I want them to do”, he says. “And I don’t have the control to do that anymore, and all I would do is muck everything up”, he said. “They decided they didn’t want to use those stories, they decided they were going to do their own thing….
