There are a few main indicators that George Lucas will not return to the “Star Wars” franchise sooner or later. At the start is the truth that the final time he introduced “Star Wars” motion pictures to theaters, fan and critic reception was completely atrocious. The prequel trilogy was torn aside from all instructions, with Lucas and his crew of actors being bombarded by vitriol from even the most important “Star Wars” followers. Why would anybody, a lot much less somebody who had established themselves in popular culture and made loads of cash to stay comfortably, wish to return to that?
Moreover, Lucas had his private life in thoughts when he selected to let “Star Wars” go. “In 2012 I used to be 69… So the query was am I going to maintain doing this the remainder of my life? Do I wish to undergo this once more? Lastly, I made a decision I might fairly increase my daughter and revel in life for some time,” he mentioned within the ebook “The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005.” In 2012 and past, Lucas has solely served as an government producer on such movie tasks as “Purple Tails,” “Unusual Magic,” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Future.” He has executed the identical for tv efforts “Double Victory: The Tuskegee Airmen at Battle” and “Manifest Future.”
With all of this, and the actual fact he hasn’t directed something since 2005 – the very best of the prequel trilogy, “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” – in thoughts, odds are George Lucas is not going to all of the sudden come out of retirement to steer an upcoming “Star Wars” manufacturing. As nice as it will be for him to return, all indicators level to his time with the franchise being over.
