Part 5/7:
Perhaps the most revealing aspect of Lucas’s comments is his critique of Disney’s stewardship. He expressed that the new Disney-led Star Wars projects "got a lot wrong" and that "they didn't understand Star Wars at a fundamental level."
He attributed the loss of some core ideas to the franchise’s corporate changes post-sale, suggesting that the original vision was compromised or misunderstood. Lucas acknowledged that once he handed over control, he had little say in what the franchise became.
He emphasized that his understanding of the universe—particularly the Force—was more nuanced, implying that Disney’s adaptations have fallen short of capturing that depth.
