Part 2/7:
In these interviews, Lucas explained that his ideas for Star Wars, including themes and the depth of storytelling, have been diluted or lost in the post-Disney films. He expressed regret that the essence of what he originally created has been somewhat overshadowed by corporate decisions made after the sale.
Clarifying His Retirement and Direct Involvement
When asked if he plans to return to make more Star Wars films, Lucas straightforwardly answered: "No, I'm retired."
He clarified that his last project was an animated film called Strange Magic, which he produced himself. Lucas is now focused on building a museum in Los Angeles, keeping busy with his personal projects rather than filmmaking.
