George Lucas talks about his Star Wars Sequels that were never made

George Lucas' Sequel Trilogy Plans Involved Creatures That "Feed On The Force"
"were going to get into a microbiotic world. But there’s this world of creatures that operate differently than we do. I call them the Whills. And the Whills are the ones who actually control the universe. They feed off the Force."
Delving into that "microbiotic world" certainly would have been different but fans already rejected the idea of midichlorians back in 1999 and Lucas realises that the same could have happened again.
"[Of] course, a lot of the fans would have hated it, just like they did Phantom Menace and everything, but at least the whole story from beginning to end would be told."

[INSERT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER THAN RIAN JOHNSON AND TLJ COMMENT HERE]

Sounds like shite... but still probably better than TLJ.

When you tell your friends how awesome your grandfather is and then you remember that he's no longer that guy with the cool stories but is now insane.

I remember when film makers tried to make movies people liked...aw, those were the days.

In this version did Luke Skywalker become so fearful of potential badguys that he decides to murder his nephew then hide from him, and then later just die because he was tired?
If not, better than TLJ.

I really never understood why the mitichloriens or whatever were so hated. I think the idea is fine for a fantasy story based on a balance between good an evil although the delivery in the Phantom Menace was horrible but the mythology has always been my favorite stuff.
ETA: if Lucas had gone through with Darth Jar Jar, prequel trilogy would have been so much better.

So his plan was to double down on the stuff in the prequels everyone hated?

The Force in A New Hope was different from all the other displays in the other movies.
Obi Wan told Luke it binds us, penetrates us...blah blah blah suggesting anyone could wield it with some training, almost like a religious conversion, if you just trust/believe in it.
Then Lucas changed all that with force-sensitive people, then finally adding stupid midichlorian counts as if it was genetic and measurable.

This is why.

At 7 in 1977 I fully understood what The Force was after this 15 seconds of movie. If it had been something else, Obi Wan would have told Luke right then when he asked.
There was just no reason to retrofit it at all. Lucas had allowed Obi Wan to beautifully explain it, only to then go back and make it unnecessarily convoluted.

I still wonder if the mitochlorians thing was about Lucas wanting nerds to think Star Wars was more science fiction than fantasy.
Which is stupid. It was a space fairy tale with its own mythology.

Probably because having just everyone able to be powerful and use the force didn't fit his vision for the story - i'd chalk that one more up to ambiguous wording in the first film. Plus i don't think that anyone being able to feel it is necessarily mutually exclusive.
If everyone could become super powerful with the force it would make it a very, very different looking series with lots of force users.
I just don't really see how midichlorians is some huge jump for people when its really not that much of a different idea than the force, just a smaller organism which communicates with the force essentially.

You still know wheat it is, I guess i just don't really see it as so confusing although it certainly doesn't really add much of anything to the story-line. Like I said, the mythology of it all is a lot of what i love about the genre so that probably has a lot to do with why i don't get why they were such a problem.

Somewhere Rian Johnson is smiling and drinking a big glass of that blue titty milk.
