George Lucas Would Have Set Third Trilogy in Midichlorian "Micro-world" - Sensationalist Headlines

George Lucas made two “Star Wars” trilogies before selling Lucasfilm (and franchise rights) to The Walt Disney Company for billions. Although he was not part of the creative team on the next trilogy — J.J. Abrams helmed “The Force Awakens” and will return for next year’s ninth “Star Wars” film, while Rian Johnson oversaw 2017’s “The Last Jedi” — Lucas had a plan for the third cinematic triptych set in his galaxy far, far away. The two-time best director Oscar nominee confided his vision to none other than James Cameron, who interviewed Lucas for “Space,” the second episode of his recent six-part AMC series “James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction.” A transcript from their talk appears in the companion book of the same name, published by Insight Editions on May 18. In it, Lucas reveals that he would have turned his gaze from the cosmos to what can be viewed only under a microscope. “[The next three ‘Star Wars’ films] were going to get into a microbiotic world,” he told Cameron. “There’s this world of creatures that operate differently than we do. I call them the Whills. And the Whills are the ones who actually control the universe. They feed off the Force.” http://www.indiewire.com/2018/06/george-lucas-episode-vii-episode-ix-1201974276/ Title edited slightly for space

even more evidence that episode iv was a fluke made in the editing room

The Whills sounds like the kind of lung disease you'd get from working in some dirty industrial or mining setting. Probably because of the specific wet wheezing sound from exposure to whatever material causes it.

I'm too confused by the mere concept of Osmosis Jones: A Star Wars Story to even begin on deciding whether this would've been a good idea or not. I mean, just what? What is this?

you know what, more interesting the the force awakens. You can create an interesting story off of demystifying something extremely sacred and how clone wars show turned out in the end you just needed the right collaborators to lucas's ideas work.

I swear something happened to George Lucas during or shortly after Return of the Jedi that made him lose all coherent writing abilities. Did you bump your head, George?

"Oh you don't like me needlessly explaining the mysteries of the force in the prequels? Well guess what. I'm gonna make a whole trilogy about that shit so put on your woo-doo hide panties and get ready for a forced story through the micro-world against your Whill." *Slaps knee and the neck jug juggles*

He must've hit the acid preeeeeetty damn hard by the looks of it.

He never had any coherent writing abilities, he just had someone telling him "no" earlier in his career.

young indie show had it's potential, but none of the magic people expected (as well as pacing). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW9d_sUPa90

There’s this world of creatures that operate differently than we do. I call them the Whills. George lucas is a genius. Not a creative genius, a merchandising genuis. Those Whills would have been blobbly little CG minions type characters that would sell infinite toys, to buy him another thirty yachts.

It's that goiter on his neck, it took control of his brain.

Yet more evidence that the Disney Star Wars movies are still significantly better than anything Lucas would have done had he still owned the franchise.

It almost seems like he tried to come up with an idea that makes the Disney films seem creatively bankrupt by comparison, but the thing he came up with was so far removed from the existing Star Wars setting that he may as well be pitching a completely unrelated movie idea. Also what happened to "I only planned for two trilogies"? Wasn't that his stance right up until he sold the brand to Disney?

Im pretty sure hes just fucking with us

Like he was fucking with people when he said "Jarjar is the key to all this"?

This is literally his entire issue.

Its like poetry, its crap.

I think it should probably be like, the law, for George Lucus to be followed around by a robot holding a sign that just reads "Fucking hell no what are you THINKING MAN!?"

sounds better than anything disney comes up with tbh. im so sorry for doubting you george, please come back.

And suddenly, just like that, The Last Jedi was a masterpiece.

Anything that George Lucas made than didn't have a group of people standing over him rejecting stupid ideas has been mediocre at best, trash at worst. I wish people could see that the original Star Wars trilogy wasn't just him. Do you know what George introduced into Episode 6 that was entirely his creation? Ewoks. Literally the thing that everyone hated about that film.

Are you telling me this entire time we could have had a planet of Wookies doing stupid slapstick comedy?

Honestly, I kinda almost wish we would have seen that.

"were going to get into a microbiotic world," not be set in a micro-world. What the shit. It wasn't going to be some story of viruses fighting bacteria. He was just going to go into more detail about how midiclorians and shit worked. Which, after the prequels, I'm sure everyone would've been excited about, right?

I think the force is best left as a plot device. Don't try to explain it

This is the man who wanted to make Indiana Jones 3 about a haunted house until Spielberg told him no fucking way.

I sort of felt bad when George mentioned that he proposed a few movie ideas for Disney, but they told him to get lost. Seeing his plan though.. yeah I can understand why Disney said no.
