mstrox 6,651 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I don't know what fans were thinking before, but this is worse? At any rate, this is pretty much exactly what I expected, given the fact that we knew Lucas had provided outlines and we knew they deviated from the outlines and we knew that Lucas was unhappy with TFA. Interesting to hear kind of the social faux pas Iger made by ambushing Lucas with the news when they weren't in private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like The Force Awakens for the strength of its execution, but I couldn’t blame Lucas for disliking its unoriginality. Lucas’ concept for the sequel trilogy (formed as he was about to sell Lucasfilm) sounds horrible, though. Remco 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,361 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 I see that Force Awakens, Rogue One and Last Jedi recouped the 4 billion Disney bought Lucasfilm for between them. Safe to assume Rise Of Skywalker will add another couple of billion to that, then there's the proposed Episodes 10 - 12. Guess they can afford that hit they took with Solo .

I've heard how there were some parts that wound up used in Disney's trilogy but apart from that, I've not heard anything else about it. George hasn't talked too much about his ideas, but he did say that at least a portion of the trilogy was to be dedicated to exploring the Whills and Midichlorians. No, that is not a joke, he actually said that. Pablo Hidalgo has also confirmed a handful of things from George's script that were either completely discarded or had already been adapted for TFA and TLJ. For instance, he mentioned a girl named Kira alone on a sand planet who would become a Jedi (obviously Rey), an "Imperial" named Skylar who would turn good (Finn), and the "Jedi Killer" (Kylo Ren) who in some versions of George's outline was meant to be Han and Leia's son, and in at least one version was not.

Edmilson 7,457 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Fun fact: when Attack of the Clones was released here, they had to change the name of Count Dooku, who is known here as Count Dookan. The reason is that the word "Dooku" would be subject of a lot of innuendos and silly jokes involving anal sex. No one would be able to take the character seriously. Captain Panaka also had his name changed to Captain Panás. In portuguese, "panaca" means "idiot", "stupid", "moron", you got the idea. And that's not even mentioning Sifo Dias (as in "se fodia",or something like "he got fucked" ). Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
