Hmm, let's see... Industry insiders who have dared to speak about it—anonymously, for fear of losing their jobs—have described writers' rooms being run by young, inexperienced, and marginally talented ideologues who prioritize political messaging over anything else...
But I suppose that if you agree with this, then it can't be part of the problem.

But what role does Greedo have in this master plan? Are the multiple Greedos just multiple versions who have been murdered by Han in various Maclunky shooting orders? Are the special editions really George's eventual plan for Star Wars multiverse?
Only Mattris has the answers...

Oh, you gullible fool! That was all a publicity stunt masterminded by George Lucas himself.
“White slavers” was actually an allegory for the child slavery scenes on Canto Bight in Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi (a film clearly mapped out by the same Lucasfilm team who worked on The Force Awakens).
I’ve come to understand these rich connections through years of intense research and study, analysing the words and works of George Lucas to a degree not achieved by any other living being. You can only hope to achieve even a fraction of the knowledge I possess. Now, it’s my turn to ask:
What does “white slavers” mean to you?

It's a false flag operation to "show" that Star Wars can get out of his control. When really it never was.

I wonder how the Holiday Special fits in to George's master plan. 🤔

I've finally understood the thread title. Every time somebody posts on this thread, I get more and more disenchanted with Star Wars.

And don't forget that he said the same thing about TROS before it came out. It was going to blow people's socks off, receive universal acclaim, unite the fans, make TFA and TLJ suddenly gel together, reveal the secret truth of the saga's hidden meaning, etc., etc. He likes to bring up his track record of predictions that came true, which is admittedly pretty impressive … if you leave out the ones that didn't.
I'm still waiting for the big reveal that the Jawas were created by Palpatine. Their theme starts with an upward jump of a minor third, just like Rey's and Palpatine's. It's also going to be super cool to see the next Jurassic Park film reveal that the dinosaurs were robots all along, as JW cleverly foreshadowed by starting their theme with the same three notes that start the droids' theme from ESB. The evidence is overwhelming.

Yes.
And, get this: he says this meaning will be magically revealed to the eyes of us simpletons when the next trilogy - which had already been filmed in secret - will come out. Suddenly, all the issues we took with any and all of the previous films will be magically transformed by the context provided by this secret last trilogy.
And no, this is not me trolling or being hyperbolic. Its literally what he's been saying for a while now.
I need a drink.

90% of the time, George Lucas is trying to figure out what he ate that caused this case of diarrhea.

What do you think George Lucas thinks we think he thinks Star Wars means to Jon Favreau’s niece?

Well when that evil was not seen and specifics were not given, and regret was shown in Return of the Jedi, then it was pretty easy to swallow. However making the character a child murderer even when he's still supposed to be "good" kind of destroys the whole idea that there was ever good in him to begin with, destroying the main story arc of the original six at its very core.

I also think good drama and art should be thought of in terms of religiosity.
But I still take it as an aesthetic experience: its something you experience, and sort of washes over you. Its not a puzzle to be mechanically worked out: what Mattris is doing is essentially what the rabid Kubrickians do, dialed up to a million.

The word "disposable" you used, not me. Nonetheless it is just entertainment, nothing more. If you're not a kid.
That's a totally different thing. JW's scores are true works of art, orchestral music of the greatest quality.

You and Mattris are very much alike. Star Wars is your religion, yet you have both fallen from the pure faith. Your methods have not differed as much as you pretend. Mattris is but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like him. To push you out of the light.

bored reacted to JTN in Star Wars Disenchantment
To him Star Wars is religion. To us it's a series of films and tv shows.
To him it's life. To us it's just entertainment.
He wants to believe in the Matrix so hard, that he's incapable of realizing the truth, that there is no spoon.
