Summary
- George Lucas had his own version of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but Disney chose not to use his scripts.
- Lucas' trilogy would have featured Darth Maul as a crime boss and explored the concept of midi-chlorians in more depth.
- Leia Organa would have been the true Chosen One and played a crucial role in bringing peace to the galaxy.
George Lucas created his own version of the Star Wars sequel trilogy, one that would have been very different to Disney's. In May 2011, Disney CEO Bob Iger approached George Lucas to discuss the idea of acquiring Lucasfilm. Unfortunately, as Iger recalled, Lucas overestimated the value of his company. He wanted what he called the Pixar Deal, meaning a similar sum, but he didn't have any films in development or a production pipeline. It seems likely this was when Lucas seriously began working on scripts for his own Star Wars sequel trilogy, presumably feeling they would be a valuable part of the deal.
