Book or Comic Series Based On Lucas's ST?

i'd like that (especially after how jaded i am post TLJ's viewing) but i dont see it happening. i mean Disney love money, but i dont think this will benefit them in any way. at least not til after the current trilogy.

 

This might be a dumb newbie question... but does anyone already know what his plot is?
I’m sure I read somewhere that he plotted for nine right at the start and filmed the central three as they were the strongest. Then did the first three. Surely the other three must have leaked out after all these years

 

No, if you read the book "The Secret History of Star Wars" by Michael Kaminski. He goes into great depth about the truth on the development of Star Wars and the idea that Lucas had 9 or 12 (It changed depending on Georges mood) episodes already developed. That was false. He had one film. One. Sure, he had some back story and whatnot, but the story he told about how he had this really large film and had to divide it into 3 and then decided to do the middle act, which had to be divided further, was/is bunk. Obi-Wan didn't recognize R2 cause he'd never seen R2. Vader was not Anakin (father Skywalker in the earliest versions of the script) and Leia was not Luke's sister. Anyway, check out the book, you'll find it to be very interesting.

Let him have "his day"??? What did he have fro 1975-2012?

Personally, I'm not sure this is a good idea. It's over, George retired, took the cash and rode into the sunset. It's time to move on.

 

I think a documentary type of film would be better suite to talk about his ideas for Episode 7 and beyond. As for what they are, there's no telling according to JJ he stated

[Abrams] said Lucas’s treatment had centered on very young characters—teenagers, Lucasfilm told me—which might have struck Disney executives as veering too close for comfort to The Phantom Menace and its 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker and 13-year-old Queen Amidala. “We’ve made some departures” from Lucas’s ideas, Kennedy conceded, but only in “exactly the way you would in any development process.”

That's about them throwing away Lucas ideas for 7.

 

I vote an emphatic "no" to this idea. Simply because I'm kind of OCD when it comes to fictional plot organization and this kind of alternate universe stuff would make an already complex fiction needlessly convoluted. I mean, you'd have Legends, Canon, and then ... this weird hybrid? No thanks. I can appreciate everyone's curiosity, but, no thanks. =)

 

I reckon we'll see Legends comics based on the treatments once Episode IX is out.
