Yet again George Lucas attempts to pour cold water on the prospect of another trilogy of Star Wars movies. Too bad, a full-blown wedding, between say Princess Leia and Han Solo, could have been a real draw card!
In the non-film versions of the saga, for instance, Han Solo and Princess Leia marry and have three children, one of them named Anakin after his notorious grandfather. All of it has been popular with core fans, but Lucas doesn’t see any upside to extending the tale past the leafy luau on Endor where Vader’s corpse was torched. “I get asked all the time, ‘What happens after “Return of the Jedi”?,’ and there really is no answer for that,” he said. “The movies were the story of Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker, and when Luke saves the galaxy and redeems his father, that’s where that story ends.”
Good. Lucas is a hack. I don’t care if SW is his baby - he sucks at it. Maybe if he handed the project over to competent writers and directors…
The idea and story behind Star Wars was great, but I think most people agree the best movies in the series were made when Lucas stepped back from front the line production effort.
