George Lucas told Cinema Blend in an interview posted yesterday that when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney in 2012, along with the company came some of his ideas for a new Star Wars trilogy. But it sounds like none of them will be part of the new Star Wars universe of movies that Disney will roll out beginning with the seventh installment, the JJ Abrams-directed Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is set to hit theaters December 18.
When Cinema Blend asked about some of those ideas, he responded: “Well, the ones that I sold to Disney and everything, they came up to the decision that they didn’t really want to do those. So they made up their own. It’s not the ones that I originally wrote.”
I’m as much of a Star Wars fan as the next guy — being in my 40s it was right in my young-boy wheelhouse when the first pic came out. But let’s be honest: Lucas nearly killed the golden goose with second three installments of the saga and the Ewoks-heavy Return Of The Jedi was already suspect. They were rough enough that it put a lid on 3D-conversion plans for the franchise that otherwise would have made a mint. Then Disney bought Lucas’ Lucasfilm for $4 billion-plus — and apparently told Lucas thanks much, we’ll take it from here.
So should fans be bummed about Lucas being essentially shut out of his own creation or kinda OK with it?
still will watch with enjoyment but it won't feel right to me

You know there are a ton of Chinese that are born & raised in Hong Kong that have very thick British accents that have never stepped foot on the British Isles...
There are also a ton of Chinese (Macau) that speak Portuguese that have never stepped foot in a Portuguese speaking country...

I didn't mean that to be funny, I'm speaking on exactly how terrible those accents were, deliberately or otherwise. The Viceroy's were terrible with the way they spoke. And I have no idea why.
Have faith in JJ Abrams
I have no faith in him after Star Trek into Darkness :x :x :x some of the most horrible writing in recent memory that I've watched.

While I'm not as happy as most people are about George not being involved in SW anymore, I can't say that Ep. VII is my most anticipated movie of all time.

Am I reading this right, or did you forget a word? Is, or Isn't your most anticipated movie of all time?

Like Harvey said....ExactlyWhile I'm not as happy as most people are about George not being involved in SW anymore, I can't say that Ep. VII is my most anticipated movie of all time.
I wish someone would take the WWE away from Vince though as I think of him being in the same boat as George
CP you are right that Star Wars is bigger than Lucas at this point and I am extremely excited to see what fresh minds can come up with. Nobody knows exactly how much of Lucas's story treatments are going to be used, and I doubt George is in touch with the staff of TFA ("creative consultant" is a BS honorary title), so there's no way he would know how much they've used based off of that teaser. Kathleen Kennedy is close to George (they go way back) and was Lucas's pick to run things after the sale to Disney. I doubt she would disrespect George and throw out his treatments. Lucas's fingerprints will definitely be all over this movie, we'll just never know how much.
George sold the Wars because he was ready to step back and focus on other things. It's foolish to think he's involved at all with this movie. He himself said he's never been able to experience Star Wars so he will finally get to feel what we have all felt for years.
I'm fully expecting this movie to be amazing and be up there with Avatar.
