![]() And as we all now know, Mickey Mouse took advantage of that little loophole.ĭisney did not base Star Wars: Episode VI, VIII, and IX on the vision of the franchise’s creator and instead did its own version. However, despite purchasing George Lucas’ outlines for the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, Disney was not contractually obligated to use them. Prior to the sale, George Lucas had tapped screenwriter Michael Arndt to write a treatment for the Sequel Trilogy based on his ideas. That’s because back when Disney purchased Lucasfilm in 2012 with the intent of making new Star Wars movies, it also purchased George Lucas’ outlines for three new films. Part of what makes this 'what if' so compelling is that it feels like we just missed it, like if one or two different decisions had been made this alternate history would have been our reality and the Sequel Trilogy films would have carried a ‘Story by George Lucas’ credit. ![]()
