George Lucas' plans for the Star Wars sequel trilogy were so very different to the ones made by Disney - here are some of the key themes.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT George Lucas created his own version of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, one that would have been very different to Disney's. In May 2011, Disney CEO Bob Iger approached George Lucas to discuss the idea of acquiring Lucasfilm. Unfortunately, as Iger recalled, Lucas overestimated the value of his company.

9 Similarity - George Lucas Would Have Had Luke In Exile Too Although Luke Skywalker is not really seen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the entire premise of the movie is to complete a map to his location. Later, in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, it is revealed that he exiled himself after his attempt to restart the Jedi and his failure to protect his nephew Ben Solo from the dark side.

6 Difference - Leia Organa Could Have Been The Actual Chosen One In fact, in Lucas' view Leia would become the true Chosen One. Lucas would have framed a lot of the narrative around Leia, and her role in the New Republic - one that culminated in Leia becoming Supreme Chancellor. By taking leadership of the galaxy and defeating the criminal underworld, Leia would be the one to fulfill the prophecy of the Chosen One by finally bringing peace to the galaxy.

4 Difference - The Empire Would Resurface To Rebel Against The Galactic Republic In Lucas’ version of the sequel trilogy there was no First Order. Instead, Stormtroopers and Imperial sympathizers would gather, hidden on scattered planets, before rising up to rebel against the Galactic Republic. This would have been an interesting inversion of what happened in the original trilogy, where the Rebellion rose up against the Empire.
