George Lucas finally reveals his ideas for a Star Wars sequel trilogy – and why he never made it
Darth Maul was the Big B♓ad and Leia became the Supreme Chancellor in the Star Wars trilogy that never was

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker may have brought the sequel trilogy to a close – but we can’t shake the gnawing feeling about how Georgeꦬ Lucas would have ended the Skywalker Saga.
Thanks to Taschen’s The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005, an incredible new coffee table book examining the complete story of the prequels, we now hav🍷e an answer-of-sorts🐟, and why the creator of Star Wars never brought his own sequel trilogy to the big screen.
“The movies are about how Leia – I mean, who else is going to be the leader? – is trying to rebuild the Republic… L♌uke is trying to restart the Jedi,” 🐭Lucas revealed.
But who would they be up against? After the fall of the Empire, there was a power vacuum – eventually filled in during Episodes 7 to 9 by the trilogy’s main villain – a resurr♏ected Darth Maul. But he wouldn’t be alone.
“Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic☂ books, as his apprentice. She was the new Darth Vader and most of the action was with her. So 🉐these were the two main villains of the trilogy,” Lucas said.
It all fell apart, however, due to an ambitious timeframe and Lucas’s desire to spend time elsewhere: “At that time I was starting the next trilogy; I talked to the actors and I was star🎶ting to gear up. I was also about to have a daughter… it takes 10 years to make a trilogy… I’d still be working on Episode 9! … Finally, I’d decided I’d rather raise my daughter and enjoy life for a while.”
For more from George Lucas, plus behind-the🐈-scenes images, scripts, sketches, and so much more, ܫThe Star Wars Archives 1999-2005 is out now and – and set for release in the US at a later date.
