According to Kennedy it was tough for Lucas, who was completely involved in the first six Star Wars films, “watching this go on without his direct involvement”. Isaac divulges his lifelong loyalty to the Long Time Ago, Far, Far Away saga, and Ridley explains what an honor it is to be part of a story that has had an impact on so many.
“If there’s one thing I’ve learned about George is it’s that he’s never, ever held back”.
Lucas recently said that his continued involvement in the Star Wars franchise would have led him to “muck everything up”. “So I said, ‘Okay, I will go my way, and I’ll let them go their way'”. “There is no such thing as working over someone’s shoulder”. They asked Kennedy what Lucas thought of the new movie. But at the same time, I said if I get in there I’m just going to cause trouble. I’d make myself miserable. “It would probably ruin a vision – J.J. has a vision, and it’s his vision”.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be followed on December 16, 2016 by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: Episode VIII on May 26, 2017, and the Han Solo anthology movie on May 25, 2018.
