Part 9/10:
JW Rinsler’s experiences offer a candid window into the inner conflicts within Lucasfilm post-Disney acquisition. His desire to publish The Rise and Fall of Star Wars symbolizes an effort to preserve and share honest stories about the franchise’s development—stories that may be inconvenient for Disney but are vital to understanding the true history of Star Wars.
As fans and industry observers, many hope that one day, more insiders will be able to speak freely, allowing the true story of Star Wars' evolution to finally be told. Until then, Rinsler’s insights serve as a critical reminder of the importance of creative freedom, respect for legacy, and transparency in storytelling.
