Colour me ‘ Stupidly Stuck ‘ behind rose coloured glasses , but in my aged head Star Wars isn’t Star Wars without GL , even if he had been relegated to a minor role of ‘ consultant ‘ on future projects after selling his hard won franchise . I’m wishing he hadn’t .
Without Disney Star Wars as a film franchise was dead. George had no plans for new films. He created the treatments for the sequel trilogy to entice Disney to buy. Disney has delivered two films that I think are terrific and my 4 year old son is now a new fan growing up with them. I was there in theaters in ‘77 and I am very thankful Disney saved this franchise from the long road to obscurity it was on.
