"The truth was, Kathy, J.J., Alan, and I had discussed the direction in which the saga should go, and we all agreed that it wasn't what George had outlined," Iger writes. This was the first time Lucas realized the movie wouldn't use one of his outlines. Lucas was reportedly upset when screenwriter Michael Arndt and Kennedy first shared plot details about The Force Awakens. Lucas has considered the Whills a part of the series lore from the beginning, with the name appearing in early drafts of the original Star Wars, albeit in a different form.Īccording to Iger, Lucas was reluctant to cede creative control, but ultimately agreed to consult on Disney's request. Lucas is alluding, in part, to microscopic organisms introduced in The Phantom Menace - midi-chlorians - which provided a biological explanation for the Force. Of course, a lot of the fans would have hated it, just like they did Phantom Menace and everything, but at least the whole story from beginning to end would be told." "If I'd held onto the company I could have done it,and then it would have been done. And the Whills are the ones who actually control the universe. "There's this world of creatures that operate differently than we do. According to Lucas, his version of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy would have visited the "microbiotic world."
While Iger doesn't describe Lucas' plans for the series in detail, Lucas has previously shared his thoughts on what a sequel to Return of the Jedi would look like, most recently in a companion book to Avatar director James Cameron's documentary series, Story of Science Fiction.
