I’m too old to make more Star Wars movies — George Lucas

Universal had the biggest share, with sales of US$2.55 billion, according to researcher Box Office Mojo. Add to that list becoming the fastest film in history to cross $1 billion at the worldwide box office, a feat it accomplished on Sunday, its 12th day in release.

The interview, taped in November and aired on Christmas, contains a passage where Lucas wears his emotions on his sleeve about letting go of the Star Wars franchise, which he sold to Disney for $4 billion. You can listen to the whole interview below, followed by a few choice quotes from Lucas himself. “I don’t like that”, Lucas told Rose.

“They looked at the stories, and they said, ‘We want to make something for the fans, ‘” he explains.

“Of course “Star Wars” and “Jurassic World” were huge contributors to this record year, but what made this a truly great year was depth and breadth of diverse content that included a number of successful non-sequel non-franchise films”, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Rentrak. She also said they could explore the mythologies in Chinese literature and incorporate them into the next installment of the movie. I don’t like that.

In an interview with Charlie Rose, Lucas called his Star Wars films “kids” and then admitted to Rose that he “sold them to the white slavers that take these things, and…”

“You can’t take years off and not have it affect your career”, he continued, to LA Times. The movie has been running to packed houses across the country, and “Star Wars” fans across all ages have been flocking to theatres to watch Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac deal with the remnants of the once mighty Galactic Empire. Towards the second half of the movie we learn that Rey is also a force user; although an untrained one, she holds her own in a lightsaber duel with Kylo and defeats him. It’s kind of esoteric, it hasn’t come much further in one hundred years.

Want more stuff like this? He’s proven to have a very creative mind, so even if he’s not the best director out there, he deserves the opportunity to get back to his roots.

Back when Lucasfilm was first purchased by Disney and the new trilogy was first announced, it sounded like the idea was to use ideas that George Lucas already had as the foundation of the new films.
