Really, there's no telling but we do know he had an outline for VII-IX and I'm pretty sure a lot of it has been revealed... maybe not the ending but at least the setup in VII with the main characters and general direction for the story has. I'm not really familiar with it but now that the canon saga has been completed maybe we'll get to learn more about the plans he had.
A lot has been revealed, yes, but would it have been like the prequels where all the other people working on the movie just say "Yeah yeah, good idea Mr. Lucas!"? Or would some of them actually challenge his ideas to make it better (which happened in A New Hope bc apparently his first version sucked )
I have a feeling it would have been a happy medium if George were writer and/or director, cause he surely wouldn't have had quite as much creative freedom under Disney-owned Lucasfilm. Perhaps if they had had George cowrite with J.J. and Rian on their respective films it could have been truer to his vision. But he didn't really want anything to do with making the movies anymore, that's why he gave them full creative control, submitted his outlines for consideration, and left them alone to do their own thing. You can't really get mad at the Disney corporation for not doing what he wanted when he explicitly gave them that option, not to mention he walked away with $4 billion.

Yeah, I don't think Disney did an awful job. Not the best, but hey, like I said earlier, Star Wars has some beloved flaws.
Idk, I always thought that her subplot in the first two ST films were all about her heritage, but that's me, I guess.
That's the thing. Basically, we're looking at two Palpatine clones now and it just doesn't make sense anymore to say that Palps is her grandfather if you think about it. You're right about that. As much as I dislikes Episodes I and II, at least they have interesting concepts around it, and that even led to the expanding to The Clone Wars and maybe Rebels. As much as I was disappointed with TROS, I'm still glad we got another Star Wars movie in this generation because it's always been cool or awesome for all ages. I saw it with my whole class from school as my History teacher gave us free tickets to it and only less than 5 of us out of 40 are fans of Star Wars. It still felt nice to see why we love Star Wars.
However, as someone who loves movies in general, TROS still disappointed me. But then there's still more stories to tell in that universe.
Yeah, it was a major part of her subplot but what I meant is it mostly affected her personal journey as a character, and it's not really relevant to the plot of what's actually happening in the galaxy like Snoke and Palpatine are.
Exactly. It'll always be fun to be a Star Wars fan no matter how good or bad the content is because there's always so much to talk about, so I love it flaws and all.
I guess.
True dat. Can't wait for Mando S2. Oh, and I'm catching up on TCW rn but I'm still stuck in Season 1.

Exactly. And they've managed to make Star Wars back into a strong and relevant brand, which is good for them. (Not that it ever wasn't a strong brand, but it's much more prominent now than it was for at least a decade before they bought it.)

I totally get where you're coming from, I was late to the game with Clone Wars too. In fact I've just now started watching the final season today after a mad dash to get caught up over the last couple months. It's totally worth it.

I'm still stuck in Season 1 because I'm rewatching the entire MCU again (plus Harry Potter and LOTR very soon) and three other series, one of which I've actually just finished a while ago.

Yeah, it definitely is stronger now. Not as many people were watching it anymore/it wasn't very cool anymore lol.
