What were George Lucas' plans for the sequel trilogy? Star Wars Fast Facts #Shorts

Did you know George Lucas included detailed plans for Episodes 7, 8 and 9 when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney?

In the book The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005, Lucas indicated the third Star Wars trilogy would focus on Anakin’s grandchildren and Princess Leia.

As the Empire crumbles and flees to the far corners of the galaxy to start their own rebellion, Darth Maul, as godfather of the crime syndicate, would assume control of the galaxy. His apprentice, Darth Talon - a Twi’lek Sith Lord - would have most of the action focused on her.

Leia’s struggle to rebuild the Republic, wresting control away from the gangsters, would prove more challenging than starting a rebellion or fighting a war.

By the end of the trilogy, Luke would have rebuilt the Jedi Order, Leia would be Supreme Chancellor of the New Republic, and it would be revealed she is the Chosen One - not Anakin Skywalker.

George Lucas : “ Here’s all the work”
Disney : takes a fat shit on it

[a_person_of_all_time]

Instead we got "*Somehow, Palpatine returned*" 💀

[inthenameofcontractlendmem]

Nobody :
Leia according to Lucas's plan : I am the Senate

[eya]

This to: "somehow palpatine returned"

[alyax-]

Anakin Skywalker was and will always be The Chosen One

[domestosteron]

I hope what Disney did to Star wars is a lesson for all filmmakers: DO NOT sell the rights to some corperation.

[zerubiszeus]

"This Twilek would have most of the action" *sweating intensifies*

[JREdits]

What we wanted…
What we got : somehow palpatine returned

[camern]

We almost had diamonds but settled for WOOD?!

[WckedRcL]

"This is Darth Talon, most of the action will focus on her.."

Yes. Yes it will.

[nutegunray]

george lucas : leia, anakins grandkids, maul, and darth talon

disney : palpatine returned and has a granddaughter

[rileymoore]

"And would be revealed she is the chosen one"
Anakin: Am I a joke to you?

[thedemoman]

As much as I genuinely would have loved to see this, I would have flipped out of my chair at another “Anakin isn’t the chosen one! Someone else is.”

[captain_commenter]

George Lucas: *Writes a detailed plan for the sequels before selling it to Disney *

Disney: *I’m gonna pretend I didn’t see that*

Apart from the last part I love this idea. My problem with Leia being the chosen one is that, if that’s true, then the original trilogy should’ve focused on her instead. It also diminishes Anakin’s sacrifice at the end of RotJ.

Leia should be recognized as an important character tho. She’s as smart as her mother and has her father’s power.

[UTUO]

He should really Have made this cuz we NEED More Maul

[KevinReillySV]

I’ll never forgive Disney for taking darth talon away from me

[spikey]

it's actually kind of impressive how badly they managed to screw this up. he literally wrote it all for them, did all the work and they still fucked it. Absolutely astonishing.

Edit: Wow i'm famous now.

Aside from Leah being deemed the "true chosen one", everything else sounds fantastic.
