Bob Iger pretty much played George like Palpatine played Anakin.
Ironic..
It's poetry because it rhymes.
I was gonna say how Palpatine played Jar Jar, but this works to
Bob Iger played himself. He is the most hated man in Disney. Kennedy is second. So yes. His Disney is going in a bad direction right now. He needed Lucas not other way around.
If you really wanna look at the long game George is palpatine and Disney is Anakin
Lmao hell no Disney is palpatine@@drewhess4569
There is a reason why J.R.R. Tolkien forbid in his will, that Disney uses any of his books commercially, ever.
Straight up. I’m surprised that others haven’t followed Tolkien’s example.
@@persephone342 They have, Back to the Future will never have a sequel or be remade for the same reason.
@@Terribadguy.I could be wrong but wasn't their talk of a new Back to the future a while back? I hope not. Because it will be woke and go to crap. It doesn't need sequals or remakes like most movies.
The 80's were insane. Movie stars were STARS, movies were a huge event and Star Wars was everywhere. There were Star Wars toys and stickers in cereal boxes, SW yoyo's, glow in the dark tee shirts, SW arcade games. Times were hard in Ireland in the 80's but at the same time it was as good and as magical as everyone today imagines it was.
Disney ruined one of the greatest American things... F Disney & esp kATHLEENkENNEDY!
@@CT-nb5lm"Disney ruined one of the greatest American things..." That was, and still is the plan.
Fun Fact: He regrets selling it
edit: appreciate the likes and fun discussion. At least we agree he hates disney.
To Disney, certainly
I'm sure he does.
I don't think he necessarily regrets it, but I don't think he's happy with what Star Wars has become. George is a smart guy. He knew that this would happen. You gotta remember that Lucasfilm was kind of in a bad spot at the time. They were losing money and many jobs were on the line. George was also getting old and he needed family time. He didn't want to spend another ten years making a new trilogy. I'm not a fan of what Disney has done to Star Wars but they kind of dug Lucasfilm out of a hole. Bob gave George a deal he couldn't refuse. He had to pass the torch at some point. I think George just wishes they used his stuff that he had planned and stayed more true to what Star Wars is.
No, he doesn't. He literally sold it for $4 billion, and now he can spend time with his family.
100% agree
Love George calling Bob and Kathleen housekeepers... 😂😂😂
It's old back when Steven was betrayed with Indiana Jones
George has said he was ready to hand off everything g to Kathleen. His trust in her was a giant mistake.
I feel ya dude. It's not just starwars. It's everywhere now. Toxic idealism is ruining what we are as individuals. It's normal to disagree with one another and still be civil. It's ruining relationships and franchises.
I agree, its not only Star Wars! Its everywhere, not the best time at the moment 😪
Well George wanted the 4 billion dollars. It wasn’t enough to have hundreds of millions of dollar. He needed the billions. George Lucas isn’t a victim. He is a billionaire.
SWT: Vocalise how you feel respectfully
Me: Kathleen Kennedy sucks
Me: KK is the Sith Lord we've been looking for.
@@dereklopez9060don’t disrespect Sith Lords pls
Disney just sucks in general. It's basically a woke fascist company.
“Yes…, give in to your hatred!”
@@eliminator1472 Exactly
You're absolutely right, the hype for the prequel trilogy was insane. I consider myself blessed to have been a part of it. I was just a little boy when The Phantom Menace came out and I've been hooked ever since. Like you said, the merchandise was everywhere. I remember then when Attack of the Clones came out and shortly after the 2D animated Clone Wars on Cartoon Network. I was so excited for Revenge of the Sith and I appreciate all of these works even more now in the present day as a 30 year old man. The sequels just don't do the story justice by any means. I truly wish someone would tell George's version of what the sequel story should have been. God bless
Carrie Fisher would still be alive in a parallel universe where the sequel trilogies were great. The evil empire would not allow such hope and enlightenment
Amen.
What I remember being in the first grade with my qui gon lightsaber 😂
one of the greatest moment of my life was that hype for Episode 1....I remember the 2 year countdown...
It was epic...The video games were amazing too...
Even TPM PC game had a super SW ambiance to it....The whole openeing when we saw young Obi Wan was the coolest moment ever!
So we just rewriting all the hate George got for the prequels before the sequel trilogy came out,I hate this rose tinted nostalgia
I think it's a crying shame the hate that has been directed at George Lucas over the years. Fro the Special Edition/Prequel haters to all the Disney shills that desperately try to prop up the new garbage. This man is a visionary that has given me a lifetime of entertainment and wonderful characters. God bless him.
@Jurglenuts Like who Alex Hirsch who wasn't there anymore when Lucas made the final edit? His former wife that called claims like this as "idiotic" but dosen't like media attention unlike RedRedardmedia and uneducated waste of life like them?
I have vague recollections of seeing the original Star Wars as a child. My parents had gone to see it (to make certain it was kid safe), then my mother took me a few days after they had seen it. I was hooked, just as were many others. Then 1999, a Thursday (it was my scheduled day off that day, as I had Thursday/Friday as my weekend from work), I sat down at the first showing at the middle of the day in a small town movie theater. There were about a dozen-plus in attendance. I watched it. It was different, wasn't what I had expected, but, it wasn't hate-worthy. I still watch it, 25 years later. I've been watching this 12 hour brief analysis of the Phantom Menace over the past week. I think the movie has aged well, as Mr. Lucas seems to be capable of capturing contemporary society and then projecting a what-if on an astro-theology mythology scale in a sci-fantasy stage.
@Jurglenuts fans like you are why he sold Star Wars to Bob Iger
Keep denying your place in it by blaming Kathleen Kennedy like your idol Chris Stuckman
@Jurglenuts I'm inclined to agree with this sentiment, well most of it anyways. The prequels were... Well, they were what they were. Some cool ideas, interesting concepts, a good bit of world-building that set the stage for the OT; but mired in bad dialogue, questionable writing/directing, and horrendous CGI. I was a kid when the first wave of "Special Edition" releases hit the theaters and I saw them all, and with the exception of the added Jabba scene in ANH, I liked the changes. But the more recent Special Edition releases definitely weren't great or even necessary. The one bit I will disagree on though is Maul... I was fine with him coming back because this time around he actually has character instead of being the edgy, brooding, and silent sith-lackey.
@Jurglenuts Fair enough. My comic-reading days were kind of over by the time the Maul comics were released so I'm not aware of his backstory beyond what "The Phantom Menace" revealed. As for his survival, I had always attributed that to him just being that strong in the Force; kind of a "too angry to die" dark-side sort of thing.
I wasn't aware TCW butchered his lore to that degree, but then again I guess that shouldn't be too shocking considering some of the really stupid ideas and concepts they ham-fisted into that show. George may have made this franchise, but not all of his ideas for it were good...
Thanks for correcting my misconception. And I'll be sure to give those comics a read at some point.
I love all 6 Star Wars movies and always will!
17:20 Thank you for shouting out this era. I was born in 91 and being a ten year old when this unrivaled trifecta of storytelling was coming out is something I’ll always be grateful for.
Right there with ya. I had to rewind to hear him say it again and was like “yea, that’s right…” it’s so bitter sweet having grown up to witness all of that and see the hype and marketing and how it revolves around our lives, wether it was in discussions, stores, play, etc. and now when I go into say, a Best Buy, and everything is gone where I remember it all to be I just get depressed.
Same
Labeling OG fans who criticize Disney Star Wars as toxic is a dismissive strategy via shaming language. It's a very effective strategy as it works and most people don't know how widespread this shaming language strategy is. Once you know and can identify it you will see it everywhere.
It’s been around for a while and it’s gotten more malicious progressively. This isn’t even the worst of it, if you see people shaming someone online assume it’s for anterior motives and look into it yourself
OG fans criticized the prequels too..
Being able to say u don’t care is liberating. These people don’t know what to do when u don’t care about their opinion
@@xjoemallardxI’m an OG fan and the one prequel film I criticized was phantom menace initially. Even by the time AOTC came out I was on board.
We should fundraise the money to buy it back from Disney, make an offer impossible to reject. It genuinely hurts me so bad to see what has happened to our Star Wars. My father showed me it when I was very young, and his father with him, was one of the only things I have left that connected me to him now he is gone and they went and ruined it, im partly glad he hasn’t seen what has happened to his space fantasy. Thank you George Lucas, fuck you disney.
when Theory talks about being a kid in the prequel era playing with the toy lightsabers!! We would have been good friends back then dude I was the exact same haha ! Before we had the toys too we used to beat eachother up with sticks instead hahah ! So grateful to have SW as a kid!
Star Wars was so impactful to my taste in storytelling and music. I ended up going into concert band in High School because of the score from the og 6. Star Wars was special to a lot of us 90s kids as much as it was to our parents.
@@moonday5521same! Star Wars set the bar for me with adventure scifi stories as a kid.
I am thankful I grew up in the late 70's and 80's. It's impossible to convey the magic that was Star Wars in 1983. Just try to imagine seeing a movie with the most advanced special effects and a story that left you joyful at the end.
George liking Kenobi and not mentioning Reva at all is hilarious 💀 dude watched the Kai Patterson cut
He probably liked it the way it was initially pitched.
Indeed lol
I think there are a few projects that capture the old Star Wats feeling and message.. Rouge One, Mando 1&2, Tales of the Jedi, Bad Batch, Andor
Bad Batch for sure
the clone wars
Fallen Order was good, too.
All Trash.
"capture the old Star Wats feeling " "Bad Batch" Lol what are you smoking?
George should launch a new IP called War in the Stars, then we can all be happy again.
"Stars of War"
I still have the qui-gon, obi-wan AND maul extendo flash light sabers from 1999. I was the toys dep head at Walmart so I had first dibs lol
Nice! My brother and I broke them over each other
I will NEVER hate the Prequels because the prequels were HIS idea.. HIS mind. HIS writing
regardless of what anyone's personal feelings are or were or will be.
The Prequel trilogy IS GEORGE LUCAS STAR WARS.
Had fans not bitched and moaned
We would of gotten a Maul led crimson dawn as the big bad for the sequel trilogy
It's why George had Dave bring Maul back
Since Bob Iger and Disney lied about his input being valid , they took his ideas and sprinkled them on Solo, and The Mandalorian season 3
I completely agree with everything you said. Perfect! I can imagine hype for Phantom Menace. Feelings for Harry Potter and LORT will never come back. It was wonderful time😁I was born in 1985.Leia,Padme,Ahsoka grew. They had stories,they developed,matured. Especially Ahsoka. May the Force be with you always😀
It’s really bittersweet to see George like this, his voice is so different now. He really earns his retirement. It’s just to bad how everything was working out was Disney till today.
Hearing you talk about how insane the hype of Star Wars in 1999 was and how all the toy aisles were just wall to wall Star Wars hit me with so much nostalgia. I loved being a kid in the 90’s, such an awesome time to grow up.
8:00 Thank you for mentioning Bastila Shan in league with Padme and Leia.
I'd love a trilogy based on the earliest Force users on planet Tython. Show us the divide and the creation of the Sith and the Jedi.
But not from Disney. They would just make it woke.
@@bindair_dundatAnything with a woman lead it's woke right?
@@xjoemallardx No, but shit like Force is Female IS.
I feel like there is an element of the Fans that Romantize George Lucas. He is great for creating start wars and the ideas behind it all. However, Episode 5 one of the most beloved episodes was directed and written by someone else. I'm not trying to excuse bad writting from Disney, just pointing out we might be overhyping George Lucas a bit
I can confirm the hype in 1999, I was 13 at the moment. I agree that nowadays it is completely impossible to reproduce that kind of interest in a single franchise, let alone create something of this magnitude from scratch. The access to popular culture was limited, now we live in an endless attention economy through internet and social media.
I'm a nobody, and you'll probably not even see this comment. But I'm glad that you've come around. I considered you a bit of a Disney apologist for a while. I was kinda satisfied with the initial Disney Star Wars, e.g. Rogue One, but increasingly hated Disney's direction as their sequel series progressed.
I'll always love the old George Lucas' Star Wars. I love the Darth Vader and Siddeous books and lore. I miss that Disney.
He’s definitely not a Disney apologist- and you can tell his fanbase has very strong opinions on the new movies, so strong you can even tell what their political views are
@@justcarterryes. People with common sense.
@@justcarterrit’s not that hard if you look at any other aspect of people today… there’s two separate realities existing at the same time. the left and right socially, are two different characters. you would be able to tell by appearance much like their use of language etc.
@@justcarterreverything is woke if a woman is the main star.
@@xjoemallardx
"Oh yeah I based the Empire on The Nixon Administration and the rebels on the Viet Cong"
That's what George Lucas said
Anyone crying about Star Wars being "woke" isn't a Star Wars fan
George Lucas is one of the biggest progressive celebrities on earth and has been since his early 20s
(Don't worry I'm gonna block you and anyone else who tries to say different)
11:55
Exactly. Its not like Lucas was thinking "man Id love to sell my IP and watch it go to shit and be ruined by modern culture" He thought Iger had a plan to keep it afloat and relevant, but it did die after their first movie.
Prequel era , Harry Potter and LOTR time frame so basically 99-2012ish was literally the greatest years of my life! The world just felt different man!
"To be around during the time of Star Wars prequel trilogy, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings; it'll never come back" Amen brother -- nothing will ever be like how it was in the very early 2000's
It’s so crazy how Hollywood and these studios can be so controlling over projects and manipulate them, but then at the same time we have guys like George Miller, Chris Nolan, Denis Villeneuve out here just cooking the best shit making what they want to make. We need someone with that presence to take over a Star Wars project
9:32 hear him. Flash Gordon. I never hear anyone put Star Wars in that context anymore. Now imagine if Disney bought the Flash Gordon franchise and what they’d do with it.
One of my best childhood memories was my mom letting my skip school to go see Episode 1, and then us going to K-Mart afterwards to buy a bunch of the figures. That time that you mention was indeed amazing and you aren't exaggerating at all. It was literally everywhere! Never since then have we seen such a cross promotion between multiple fast food joints too.
to me star wars was a way for my dad and I to connect, like he doesn’t like any sci fi or fantasy setting except star wars and when I was younger we would watch the original trilogy over and over and the prequels too. It’s absolutely heart breaking what the new “star wars” has become
You are by far the classiest out of all the youtubers. Trashing people with different views is not needed. Keep up the good work Theory.
He proceeded to trash them in the most subtle way like usual. He's very passive aggressive
Swt was the only popular RUclipsr who defended the prequels unlike the ones who shilled and rage baited for views
I'll always be a fan of his for that
12:00 One additional point which is often overlooked/forgotten - Mr. Lucas was having pitch lunch meetings with Hamill, Fisher, and I think Ford about selling them on participating in 7, 8, and 9 prior to him selling LucasFilm to Disney
It's over Theory! Disney has the high ground.
Nooooooo! I HATE YOU!
Twice the pride, double the fall
17:28 Stop trying to make my eyes water man. That was a fantastic time to be a Star Wars fan. I got a Darth Maul double saber from my grandparents for Christmas and it's still one of my favorite memories. Got Yoda's, Dooku's, Vader's, and Luke's saber for my birthday throughout a couple years and it was magic. If Doc and Marty were here, I'd go back to that time for a while.
Bizarre that a gaming company can get it pretty much right (Jedi Survivor) and Disney make a total mess of it.
Amen
I at the beginning, if Disney bankrolls it and let George do his thing, it'll be amazing. If they meddle, they'll f it up
In hindsight, I wish he had never sold the franchise to Disney but sought out an apprentice like Dave Filoni to carry out the original plan, the original story of our beloved cast.
Part of it was his need to get involved, if he still had any power he’d wanna keep going and thus wouldn’t spend time with his kids. Also, filoni is the worst choice. The stuff he’s done with Disney has been horrible and TCW was a mess. Everyone was mischaracterized and he created so many plot holes with the movies the show was based on and the OT that it’s inexcusable. Sam Witwer, despite his being only an actor, should’ve been his heir. He’s young, George could teach him, and he cares deeply about all of OG SW, and he’s a great storyteller in interviews
@@oldyladTCW is perfection, you're just an idiot...
Filoni is the reason Star Wars is in such a mess nowadays, because George gave him too much power to change things in his image. He was likely giddier than a schoolgirl when the franchise was signed over to Disney because it gave him even greater freedom to tell his stories, ergo steal from much more talented creators after they threw the EU out the window.
Filoni is no better than Kathleen Kennedy, wtf do you mean??
Filoni is sort of an ADHD writer. Just look at the pace and the structure of clone wars. It just was bam bam bam, this that this. It had hardly a moment to breath.
And the stuff he introduced? Oh no. It would have been a terrible choice.
What Theory feels about episode 1 is the way i felt in 77 when the movie first came out. You could feel the excitement in the air.
I was 5 years old in 1977 when A New Hope came out. In fact I saw the movie before “A New Hope” was added to the title later.
Star Wars changed my short life at 5 during that time. Not only did Star Wars change cinema, but it really did change the World. Everything was and had to be at a faster pace after that movie came out. All cinema had to be faster. All political maneuvering had to be faster. The “Cold War” had to escalate. Troubles in the Middle East. The world was changed.
We had so many fights with those plastic lightsabers with the telescopic blades! Every single person in my life has at one point picked one up, turned it on, flicked their wrist to shoot the blades out, made the "SZHHHOOOM" sound, and looked at it just for a second. For a split second life paused and my parents were little kids again. Everybody holding one of those was briefly transported to a galaxy far, far, away. The exact same reaction in real life as in ANH when Luke ignites the lightsaber and is in awe of it. Such a lovely shared cultural currency that we as a society are sadly being robbed of. It crossed generations, tastes, and any kind of barrier that lesser media stumbles over.
If somehow an un-published, half-finished work by Beethoven, Mozart, Van Gogh, or Monet was discovered and shared with the world only to then be given over to someone with no appreciation for its cultural value and completed in their own selfish way people would understandably be upset. It would create a visceral response. Star Wars is probably the last piece of art that brought people together on a similar level. It is not "high art" but, in the same way as we all know the works of those artists (even without realising it), our families, friends, and all of global society knows "No.....I am your father!". It is sad that this legacy has not been given its due respect. Putting questions over quality aside, the lack of respect is the nail in the coffin.
Entertainment and media have grown and changed so that the effects and visual amazement of Star Wars is no longer novel, but, much like how Lord of the Rings has the Silmarillion, Star Wars has years of lore and development that create a feeling of authenticity, realism, and escapism all at once. We can knowingly watch, read, or play a made up story while at the same time allow ourselves to believe, even if only for the duration of the experience, that it is real and we are part of another universe. Star Wars, particularly the shows and movies, no longer provides that, and it means for kids and future generations it will not ignite their imaginations and is therefore very unlikely to draw them in.
Being the right age for the Prequels, LotR, and Harry Potter has provided me, my brother, my wife, and all our friends common language and a sense of shared experience that bonds us. We all remember seeing one of these, remember our parents reading one of them to us, remember nights spent debating and discussing events, and it has enriched our lives. Some of my generation are now are starting to share it with their own kids and getting a whole new experience from it.
Modern offerings do not stack up to this. Game of Thrones probably came the closest, but only a few years after the show has ended and I don't see any kind of similar devotion to "the big 3" for that property. It is a sad state of affairs Star Wars finds itself in. There seems little hope of a return to form on screen, doesn't there? Each new project announced I find myself getting less and less interested in something that for most of my life has been a source of joy and wonder. For now I guess we'll have to rely on the pre-Disney media out there and keep finding enjoyment in new ways. Your lore videos for example! I really enjoy your channel and appreciate what you do. It's about the only Star Wars stuff I do enjoy these days. Thanks for what you do, cheers!
Star Wars fans everywhere should rise up and rebel against Disney and obtain George’s lost wonders that are 7, 8, and 9 so that they are brought to glory
Who is with me?
👇
It could be done as an animated film.
@@mrpotatoguy1that’ll never happen because it’ll break the fanbase even more and Disney will struggle to shame the fans if they have a clear example of something good in their own catalogue
Who ever they'd get to direct it would ruin those scripts too..
I had 10 different lightsabers growing up as a kid and the countless amount of lightsaber battles I had with my brother and buddies made for so many unbelievable memories. It’s too bad George didn’t get to fulfill his vision, breaks my heart a bit. I’m with you dude and you are 100% in tune, unlike the execs at Disney.
Star Wars Theory: I just want to say that I only got into your channel via your discussions with Mauler and crew. I had always had you pegged as a shill, despite having never watching any of your videos. For that, I apologise. You're a good egg and very clearly not a shill. Keep speaking the truth, brother.
I think this is just the way of big and great stories. With Dune, Frank Herbert wrote 6 beloved novels. But once he died, the novels by other authors didn’t live up to his stories and fell flat. But eventually someone comes along and makes something great (the 2 Dune movies) and we get something that lives up to what Dune had once been. It took 60 years but maybe Star Wars will live similarly.
“You’re toxic if your world view doesn’t align with mine.”
Fans loved Gina Carano a badass strong female that both on screen and in real life remains true to herself. See what Disney did with this strong female.
I didn’t love her character, and I think Trump sucks but I don’t think she should have been fired. I hate both parties and cancel culture.
George Lucas changed a lot of peoples lives. He is one of the greatest creators out there. The movie industry uses a lot of effects originally created by him. A true legend. I was 6 when the first movie came out, and star wars his been a part of my life ever since.
Ever since hear the phrase "The Force is Female" it greatly turned me off when knowing they were following their agenda versus making the best content.
You're one hell of an ambassador for this franchise we adore theroy. Thanks for all you do
Thank you for making all these Star Wars. Videos please don't stop I like this content. I wish I could watch every video. I'm glad you are keeping the conversation going.
We literally have a woman (and a very old one) as arguably not only the best character in the franchise, but probably the best thing that ever happened to Star Wars overall.
And her "Apathy is death" line is one of the most iconic SW lines.
And WTH happened to Hamil, no one was roasting Disney harder than Hamil when the sequels came out and then suddenly he went 180? like what? what did they do to him or say to him or pay him? you cant have that much passion against what they were doing and then just magically shift, thats a crazy one.
We know who his master is and will shift allegiances at the drop of a hat its always about money and influence and agenda
Adam Driver did roast Disney by saying “Wokeness killed Han Solo” during his SNL Season 49 appearance monologue.
I understand you guys aren’t SNL Fans…but I recommend watching the monologue where he plays the piano and straight up roasts Disney.
@@MegaMr46 Are you dumb? 🤣 Adam Driver was being satire, you do realize SNL is a comedy skit right?
It’s cause he woke…
@@MegaMr46it was the only snl episode i watched. Love matt the technician lol
I notice you keep pushing being kind and respectful and that’s great, you don’t always follow it but it is a good message.
If it weren't for George, I wouldn't be writing this comment right now. I wouldn't have had a RUclips channel. George Lucas needs to take action against Disney imo.
Your so right about the prequels marketing and toys. My first lightsaber was the darth maul double blade with the fully collapsable blades, my brother got the quigon and obiwan. These were the coolest toys, you could have it without the blades deployed and then flick it from side to side and the blades came out like a collapsable police baton. when the blades came out they lit up as they deployed and played the ignition sound effect. Then when you would swing it the buzzing swooping noise would give off different noises depending on how you swung it. When you fought with them and the blade would strike something it would make sounds of lightsaber on lightsaber combat. my brother had the same thing but with obiwan and quigon sabers. we shared all three and would come up with a story and who was who and fought so much with those swords they were completely destroyed. We would literally duel all day long for years. I still remember duel wielding the darth maul saber in one hand and the obiwan in the other, i really liked that duality of being a lightside force user that also used dark side techniques for the light. There were so many different fighting styles we used like simiple obiwan vs quigon with single sabers. Then i got really good with duel wielding the two single sabers similar to how starkiller did in the force unleashed mixing reverse holding one and forward holding the other one. And eventually this led up to my favorite style of the darth maul blade in one hand holding it like a reverse single so i had defensive blocks from the front blade and rear blade and with the a single obiwan saber in my dominant right hand using it kinda like a dooku fencing style. I fucking loved that shit so much. I wish someone recorded us fighting. The movements and fights were so on pair or better than alot of the official fights in the movies. I basically created my own character which was alot like revan but years before kotor came out. my brother would switch between maul or quigon jin mostly.
I blame him for selling… he should’ve come up with a deal that would be extremely beneficial to Disney, but not selling… I’m pretty sure there was a way, kinda like how Disney can use and make spider-man movies… have Lucasfilm working… rolling movies and keep it working as a separate company without being hands on involved… being the curator of what should happen and be about.
Well said, thank you for being so vocal in the community. I love hearing your memories of battling with your father, I did the same thing as a kid. Those are some of his happiest memories ever and mine.
1:17 Palpatine jumpscare
mm... good catch. :D
Bob has had conversations with George, that's why he has stepped up and been vocal about the Disney+ output. He isn't just talking about MARVEL... he is talking about Star Wars too.
When luke skywalker tried to kill kylo Luke Would have been turning to the dark side with his anger and hate especially Daisy's character at the end. She should have turned into the sith master, or at least it would have made a better ending, imho
I miss George so much. He changed my life. Thank you for helping preserve his legacy Theory
I was 7 when Star Wars hit theaters. It seemed like every week we went to see it that summer. The toys WOW! I had both the Death Star and The Falcon. Christmas was alway filled with Star Wars toys. To get Yoda action figure you had to send something in and they sent it to ya. I can’t remember exactly how it worked that was over 30 years ago. I would never change my childhood. You are right it will never be the same.
"wokeness killed Han Solo"
Harrison Ford killed Han Solo. He wanted to die since the first movie
I should have cried when Han Solo died ! I should’ve cried when Luke Skywalker died…of being too tired
We all know George can't say how he truly feels about what Disney did to Star Wars. They'd sue him In a heartbeat
I have loved star wars since I was a kid. I'm a gay dude and am all for having people of color and what not in the movies and shows. I'm not ok with abusing what lucas made to throw their political agenda in our faces. Not a fan of them picking directors who practically say they hate star wars. I don't care about lesbian space witches I care about them destroying the meaning of starwars. I'm sick of seeing anaking bashed. Tired of them bastardising the force putting it into their own mold of what they think it is. I'm tired of the shitty writing and disrespect for the original characters. They need stop with the agenda and go back to basics of what star wars is all about. What it has become breaks my heart.
Wow theory I'm feeling so much nastalgia about those old toy lightsabers. I have so many fond memories of my lightsaber fights with my little bro in the early 2000s
The fact that LITERALLY all they had to do was follow the instructions he gave them instead of digging themselves into a hole blows my mind. All this controversy at Disney wouldn’t be here because we would respect them for honoring George’s vision.
Personally, I love all of the recent Star Wars content ... it's not all great, but, it's Star Wars! I vividly remember the almost 20 year gap with no (on-screen) Star wars content so, for me this is a dream come true. I love the universe that George created and am perfectly fine with others telling stories in that universe.
I'm excited for the Acolyte, there's no legacy characters that can be ruined.
Me too

I'm 41. I was around for most of the pre Disney Star Wars. I have Star Wars Unleashed Action Figures from that era. It was a different time. Movies were awesome.
Love that you touched on the toy line! I absolutely LOVED those years man. Best time ever to be a star wars fan. It shows today, who they are trying to reach in these new series. It surely is not us. We need Lucas back asap.
Bob Iger didn't force George to do anything, but maybe he deceived him, or coaxed him, or whatever the correct word is.
George has heirs, so if Iger somehow was able to used that lie to convince George to sell, then George simply let himself be deceived.
All I would have to say to that is, "George, dude, what drugs were you on that day?"
I mean… if you were going to hand a fantasy world-build over to a company, Disney would seem a safe bet.
The reality is that no corporation will keep the soul of the IP intact.
Bob iger: have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Walt the wise?
George has no heirs??? He has children. What about Katie who did a lot of writing for Clone Wars? He could have insisted consulting oversight into the contract. Ultimately, George has to swallow the 💩 Disney forces on everyone because he signed EVERYTHING away for $$$. You reap what you sew.
Yea give it to his kids so the fan base can shit on them too. You must not have been old enough when the prequels came out. Everyone hated them. You know absolutely nothing and it shows.
@@yvngsn0wI was, and you’re lying. There were haters, but they were the minority by a long shot. Whenever I interacted with them on forums it seemed like their bubble was making them delusional. Even today many of the criticisms of the PT are BS and come from a place of nostalgia. They were upset because of things like jar jar reminding them that these movies made for kids and they’re adults, the politics because it’s fairly adult for Star Wars, because it’s different from the OT for obvious reasons. The PT has always been good, and the prequels hate only existed in a small group of OT fans and Hollywood. It was only years after with OT fans dunking on it on RUclips that hating them became mainstream
Sow***
@oldylad The hate came mostly from 'critics.'
@@oldylad not reading your delusional response. You’re ignorant too. Why do you think George sold it in the first place. Here’s a hint he stated he was tired and exhausted of all the hate. Funny how it continues all these years later. I don’t blame him.
Literally luke became THE example for heroes journey,how many times they have used Luke everywhere to explain what a Good Heroes journey looks like, George was cooking 🤷🏽♂️
Brooooo early 2000s WERE LIIIIT
X-men, Star Wars, LOTR, Spider-Man, Harry Potter, peak Pixar and the birth of dreamworks bro what a time!!!
Star Wars Theory, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
In another world he didnt sell. The hate was bad. He didn't consider the offer. He made his movies and some people hated them. But a lot of people would come to appreciate them.
Reddit gonna hate Theory for this one
fuck reddit, those freaks outta touch some grass and take a bath!
reddit is going to hell, so why even care what they think?
I totally agree the period of Harry potter lord of the rings, matrix, terminator 2, star wars prequels, was the beat time to be alive for movie lovers, it was amazing how good the movies and games were back then
It’s the fans faults if fans just respected the prequels he would have never have sold it to the Sith Lord Kathleen Kennedy
The dumbest part of the whole situation is that Disney HAD a cashcow, IF they had only followed George's ideas. If they'd stuck too it, they'd have got all the $$$ that they wanted. What they earned with the 3 dumpster fire movies was a fraction of what could have been.
Saddest thing here are the fans turning on each other and calling someone like you "toxic", never seen a toxic thing from you just some passion.
Lmfao
@@sirmarshall9521 lmao your post history
It wasn't greedy for Lucas to sell Lucasfilm to Disney. Not only did he (foolishly) expect Disney to respect his creative wishes, but he also gave a GREAT DEAL of the $4 billion to charity.
Toxic disney executives are , no respect for Star Wars they have. hmm
Girls with a time machine: "I'm your granddaughter!"
Boys with time machine: "Don't ever sell Star Wars. They WILL ruin it in the worst ways. Just hire people that love Star Wars as it is, like John Favreau!"
Its also George's fault.... Its sad, but its FUCKING Disney!!!!... God damn It...
When George said he didn't want anyone tlling him how to make his movies was the perfect mic drop moment...
I hurt for him to see what they've done with his "baby girl", they've essentially kidnapped "her" and rapped "her" over and over and now "she's" a corpse waiting to be found (apologies for the dark analogy)
Ah yes theory ranting on what George should have done with star wars for almost 30 minutes yeah we get it theory George wanted star wars to be better than what we got with the sequels think you need to move on from that since hes not in charge anymore
And he's also stated he's retired and he is never coming back.. time to move on Theory 😂😂
He's covering the new interview with George. It is something to talk about. But if it weren't for the fact it's a new thing adding to the topic, I would agree. It's time to move on.
Oh no a Star Wars channel talk about what the creator of Star Wars said in an interview that just happened. What a dumb comment
I went to the midnight reveal for Revenge of the Sith! It was amazing! Theater was packed, costumes everywhere. Great time.
Theory, are you actually suggesting that Disney should have ran with George Lucas’ story, instead? You cannot be serious.
The story that Lucas wanted to tell takes place only few years following the events of ROTJ. Doesn’t anyone see what a major casting problem that creates?
The only way to tell the story Lucas has envisioned would have meant recasting all the major roles with younger actors. Say good-bye to Hamill, Fisher, Ford, Williams, and just about everyone else.
The option to use today’s AI de-aging software was not an option in 2012. Because the software technology to pull it off simply did not exist in 2012.
Theory got me tearing up 😭 because i see him tearing up 😢. I feel your pain, the fans are basically Jedi after order 66 and its up to the individual which movie or series was there 66. Alot has died, some have turned sith, and the rest is the rest surviving in games with streams iykyk
I was alive when the first one was made. Even back in the 70s we loved the toys and collected them back then
Take a sip of whiskey everytime theory says "George"
me and my friends use to bring our lightsabers for recess and have epic battles, the good ol days
I had to pause @ 1:17 I had no idea that Ian MacDiarmid was on Young Indiana Jones!!
Hera is an excellent female character in rebels shes the LEADER of the ghost crew
I'm glad George let it out. Those words will haunt Disney even more.
