George Lucas Felt Betrayed By Direction Taken In Episode 7

I think that's pretty few, it seems to me most people who dislike Abrams and Discovery also think Nemesis was terrible and the VOY and Enterprise were at best mediocre if not mostly bad ...
I love Abrams' movies, really like Discovery, can't stand Nemesis, and I like Voyager and Enterprise.
 
I enjoyed the Abrams movies and parts of Enterprise and find Discovery entertaining. I think Voyager and Nemesis were both pretty terrible.

It all has major ups-and-downs for me. Though I thought Voyager improved remarkably after the addition of Jeri Ryan. I'm probably most excited about seeing her in the upcoming Picard.

This goes against what some posters have been claiming about Lucas being all in with Disney's direction. I do concede that it does seem like they used SOME of Lucas' plot points. I was originally under the impression that they used none.
If you don't want Disney messing with your stuff, don't sell it to them.

If I were George Lucas, for $4 billion they could make a movie about how all our Star Wars heroes were actually child molesters and I wouldn't mind one bit.

I just don't understand why this is in the news in the first place, when Lucas already expressed his dissatisfaction with the sequel trilogy story direction four years ago. It's no "recent revelation" at all! :brickwall:

It’s the anti-fandom grasping at straws. They need some reason to hate the new movies other than they just don’t like them because that’s how taste works or sometimes it’s something to distract from it really being that they aren’t comfortable seeing anyone but a straight, white, cis male as a hero because that’s what they are.
 
There’s a certain kind of person out there who can’t stand to see people enjoying things that they personally don’t like. They’ll grasp at whatever straws they have to in order to convince themselves that they’re objectively right and it’s everyone else who has it wrong.

I think it's an ego thing. They have to be right about everything, even personal tastes. If not for Star Wars and other franchises they would be complaining that some people liked sandwiches that they didn't.
 
Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you guys, I guess I shouldn't have posted the link.

Orrrrr it's because Iger mentioned this in his book, so this news is coming back around, this time to a wider audience.

Because this is an interview Kathleen Kennedy gave recently.

Really? because it seems to me its the opposite going by the replies on this thread alone. People here can't stand when something they like is criticized and attack others for having a different opinion.

I’m not really seeing it. What I am seeing is a lot of people getting tired of being told they’re wrong for liking something, and that if only they’d watch these YouTube videos they’d agree that TLJ is a cinematic failure and that women and minorities are killing Star Wars.
