“What did Disney do with Star Wars?”. George Lucas may have thought about this theoretical question at one time or another in recent years. The Creator of the Star Saga will certainly still be interested to see what the Mickey Mouse company is doing with the galaxy far, far away. But he himself also had it some crazy things with Star Wars before.
What is George Lucas doing today?
At the Cannes International Film Festival in 2024, George Lucas received the Golden Palm of Honor for his life's work. In this context, he also commented on Disney, Star Wars and the fact that he now only does what is fun and otherwise simply enjoys his retirement.
In recent months, reports have repeatedly been published that… alternative plans for the various Star Wars movies revealed. Both for episode 1 as well as for episode 3 was the plot at times planned completely differently. A very special change for Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is currently causing astonishment and question marks. What had happened? George Lucas just thought of it?

After Obi-Wan Kenobi succumbed to his injuries as a Jedi Master the younger Qui-Gon Jinn would have taken his name. This is how it would have been explained Sir Alec Guinness in Episode 4 remarks that Obi-Wan is a name he hasn't heard in a long time. It all sounds a little confusing and too contrived by George Lucas. Ultimately, the creator of Star Wars backed away from this very bizarre idea.
