I have to comment on this although who gives a shit what I think. All I know is that I've been a star wars nut since forever and Lucas, the empire he's built, I have some thing to say on that even though I'm nothing and mean shit to him and Disney.
But yeah, so what a strange business we're witnessing and so much bad vibes between Lucas and Disney now because he's not particularly fond of seeing his franchise taken into directions he never had planned.
I feel for him, not gonna be all kinda like not empathetic here... I feel him. If I created something, and I have, I've created 3 different comic book stories that I would like to some day get started. And someone ELSE was making that comic and taking it in their own direction. I'd be livid.
Honestly Lucas has YET to show us his true feelings on JJ's star wars. Let it out. Tell us ALL how much you wish you kept the damn license and made the movies yourself. LET IT THE FUCK OUT.
All I DO know is that if Lucas was making the new series it'd be just as muddled and boring as the prequels, so ultimately it's BETTER without him. And that's a shock. I don't understand how he made the OT what it was then gave us the lackluster prequels after the fact. It's a strange chemistry. Maybe Kasdan, Kurtz, and his Wife, plus the lightning in a bottle casting was what really made star wars work, not Lucas and Lucas alone.
He's got to step aside I have to say. Making a fool of himself now with all this "damn, wish I didn't sell the franchise" attitude he's putting on now.
But yeah, I can imagine. He was watching TFA and just thinking, not what I'd have done... not what we had in mind at the end of RotJ's production. Not enough CGI in this scene...
Now I'm not a TFA zealot, it's not ALL THAT. It's TFA. It's a definite long overdue return to the OT spirit and style for star wars. It's so hard, yunno for me. It's an emotional thing. I've been watching the prequels for YEARS and not ONCE did the millenium falcon, the one single most identifiable staple of star wars show up in those movies. It's like, Lucas went down the list of shit that has to happen and appear in every star wars movie, Threepio, R2, bad feeling, willhelm, etc. and left out the goddamn falcon cuz who cares. I CARE!!!
Here's an idea. The jedi get to some space port, find a hot shot pilot there named skywalker who owns the Millenium falcon and can help them get to their next destination and save the queen from the stuff or whatever..." Who'd have thunk Vader once owned the Millenium Falcon. He never mentions it, yeah but probably because he doesn't want to remember it, I dunno... but he built threepio, and had ownership of R2 yet NEVER mentions either so it wouldn't be too far fetched. Now that I think about it, the PT style of making the star wars universe tiny really SUCKED. No, Vader didn't own the MF, but still it'd have been interesting to see someone bring the ship into the series so there's some kind of continuity and of course it's feels more organically star wars. I haven't seen the falcon in a star wars movies for a LONG time, A LOOOOOOOONG TIME. How fucked up is that ladies and gents...
