Star Wars: The Force Awakens Strays From My Original Vision, George Lucas Says

Yes George, I really doubt you envisoned "A New Hope" reskinned in 2015! ... What did you expect from Disney!? .. the money was all you cared about, you weren't rich enough at 2 billion, you needed another 4 billion to tide you over till death. Now we have put up with garbage every 2 years of political correctness & feminist propaganda!

THANKS GEORGE!! :(

If you really cared about your vision you wouldn't have sold it. Take your money and shut up.

So, now I finally see why Star Wars Battlefront wasn't so good. It was Disney's fault all along!

lucas is a great story teller he just can not direct or cast very well.

I thought most people thought of it as a space-opera?

Ea and disney will ruin the crap out of franchise

*Phew*

Thank God for that.

Now if you'll excuse me-sa, me-sa gonna go have some fun.

George Lucas, sadly, hasn't had a genuine vision since Empire, and that was a LONG time ago.

Of course they are gonna go their own way! If you get involved, Star Wars 7 will just turn out to be a Binks & Ewoks reunion!

Mr. Lucas, the smartest thing you did was selling the Star Wars IP to someone else. Lets just leave it at that.

Everyone is like F*** G.L.

Okay, I get why. But does anyone feel Disney is going to do a better job? We saw with they did with Marvel movies *cough fantastic four*

I am hoping they do but I can only wait and see.

G.L. sounds a little salty.

Oh, so it might actually be good?

Sorry George, this time it won't be poetry, and each scene won't rhyme with the next one.

I just want to say that I don't like this "infinite feed" system you guys have here now. Reminds me of spammy, ad-heavy news sites.

I feel like he's the only one who gives a shit. I hate to break to you Mr. Lucas, but you fucked up with the prequel trilogy and everyone who cares about Star Wars, the people who pay to see it and actually made it successful, don't want you involved and they don't care about your "vision" anymore.

Based on his words I'd say he cries about not owning Star Wars every night.

That's what happens when you sell some thing to Disney you dope

sorry but everyone knows there was no "direction" for star wars

Sorry George... you made $4 BILLION from selling this to Disney. You don't get to talk anymore.

George Lucas !!! you choose not to participate in the mommnet you receive 4 billions!!!!!!!!!!! Now your "vision" is just like any other "vision". GFY!!

Mr. Lucas really didn't have a vision for Star Wars. He retold a Japanese movie in a space setting, then didn't know where he wanted to go afterwards. Splinter in the Mind's Eye was the story he commissioned to follow up Star Wars, and he wanted its author to write in a way to keep the special effects on the cheap. Sometime after Empire began filming he toyed around with the idea of Darth Vader being Luke's father and wasn't even sure if he would go through with it.

I can't believe the praise for Return of the Jedi in the comment section below. It was a horrible finale to the original trilogy. How to resolve the love triangle started in Empire...have Leia be Luke's sister. That was just a horrible idea. Lucas also cut corners on the special effects in Jedi and it really looked cheap in so many scenes. One or more of the heroes needed to die in Jedi to add more gravitas to the movie.

Mr. Lucas can't write dialog. Even though I loved the first movie, it's dialog was horrible. Without another author to help clean up his writing the prequel trilogy ended up littered with tons his bad dialog. Further, there just wasn't much story in the prequels. One movie could've pretty much covered what the 3 movies combined touched on. The last prequel movie wasn't too bad, but Yoda/Ben just giving up was just not a good way to end it.

Interesting how much hate there is for George Lucas, considering that this guy created Star Wars in the first place. And that was not an easy task in the back-ass-wards stagnant Hollywood of the late 1970's. No matter how much people feel upset about Prequel CGI and bad writing, it doesn't stop anyone from watching and enjoying the Original trilogy. No Lucas no Star Wars, remember that.

Honestly, I really can't stand Jar Jar Binks...

George Lucas is a fallen prophet. Used to be inspired, used to be the "truth". However, bad idea after bad idea he all but ruined the great name of Star Wars and should be grateful that Disney was there to rescue it (if indeed that's what they will do). But no matter how you slice it, GL is no longer the man for the job and for a great name with many more stories to tell, SW is just getting started. Thanks for your original ideas Lucas, but go away before you further embarrass yourself.

He wasnt interested in making any more movies. Now that episode 7 is almost here he wants to blather on how he had a different vision.

I have respect for the man who had a part in revolutionizing the film industry. But his vision has mostly been geared for children but also got weirdly violent. I don't think he was good at balancing his demographics. I think jj Abrams can do the Spielberg Lucas feel, while gearing it for all audiences without sacrificing the adult viewers. Something kids will enjoy and still enjoy when theyre older. I cring Now when I see the ewoks goofily beat trained soldiers with sticks when I liked it as a kid, but I would have still enjoyed it if it was simply solders shooting soldiers instead.

This is the reason why he shouldn't of sold the rights to f_cking Disney. Even a true star wars fan knows that.

After so many years, George Lucas still doesn't get it. We don't want another Jar Jar and his Bunions, we dont want ewok furballs, and we especially dont want 20 years down the line for some enhanced gobbidy gook added to the film that looks fake. What we want is a story with good writing that makes sense and has great characters. If he was writing the Force Awakens, they probably wouldn't have started shooting the film yet. After all, it took him 6 rough drafts for New Hope to get it right and only after his co-writers got him back on track the best that they could.

This is pretty much where Metal Gear will end up. Sold to Disney Interactive or something.

Star Wars VII: Multiculturalism Awakens

Good. **** him and his prequels.

Well then you shouldn't have sold your company and stopped making movies.......

THANK ****

hey shareholders, just let these guys make a new movie, have them create a new timeless masterpiece and cash in on it for the rest of ur existence ... instead of hyping a cheap crap flick to death again to make a few fast bucks ... just think a head for a brief moment ...

personally I have enough of Disney Star Wars after seeing this football like droid ... is their a cheaper way to animate such thing ... No ! I guess angry birds will have a camo in the movie as well ...

and never forget, George Lucas made this, seriously : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oS6PwQcCIXo

The Force Awakens Strays From My Original Vision, George Lucas Says...

Strays from your butt, you mean.

He wanted it to be more visually stunning rather than being story heavy. Look where that took the series. The only reason the originals weren't that crap were because of the people he was working with felt it needed to be more story heavy. They were missing for the prequels.

it's about to get heavy...
