George Lucas' sequel trilogy may not have come to fruition, but Star Wars' creator shared key details that distinguished his version from Disney's.
The Star Wars sequel trilogy took a different approach under Disney from what George Lucas originally intended, and his would have been so very different to Disney. In 2011, Disney CEO Bob Iger approached George Lucas with the idea of acquiring Lucasfilm. There was just one problem; Lucas wanted what he called "the Pixar deal," hoping for something similar to the $7.4 billion Disney paid for Pixar.
Disney went in a very different direction after the Lucasfilm acquisition, of course . But details of Lucas' Star Wars sequel trilogy have emerged over the years, most notably courtesy of Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives 1999-2005. This offers an exciting glimpse into Lucas' plans, which would have built on Star Wars: The Clone Wars as well as the original trilogy - and they would have been very different to Disney's version of the sequels.
Bringing back Maul in the sequel era seems to have been a personal passion for Lucas, as he'd explored the idea in other projects as well. The canceled Darth Maul video game Battle of the Sith Lords, given the working title of "Maul," would have focused on a clone of Maul teaming up with Talon 130 years after Return of the Jedi.
Lucas' Star Wars Trilogy Saw Luke Reform The Jedi Disney's Star Wars sequel trilogy chose to sideline Luke Skywalker, but Lucas would have done the opposite and focused on Luke rebuilding the Jedi Order. A few years after Return of the Jedi, Luke would have put out a call to any surviving Jedi, as well as training two- and three-year-olds like the original Jedi Order.
