Star Wars Fan Digs Up George Lucas' Original Sequel Trilogy Outline

George Lucas' original Star Warssequel trilogy plans are back in the public eye after one fan posted choice excerpts from a particularly insightful retrospective on the franchise and the potential direction it could’ve taken.

While there were no concrete plans for another Star Warstrilogy at the time when Disney acquired franchise parent company LucasFilm in 2012, original creator and legendary filmmaker George Lucas did have a treatment ready for a potential sequel trilogy of films by the time the acquisition went through, which he promptly offered to Disney. While there were a lot of solid ideas that would have put up some plotlines that had already been explored in the Star Wars books and other media that would be consigned to the Legends continuity, the powers that be at Disney decided to go a different way with their sequel trilogy.

The Disney sequels would earn mixed reviews, with behind-the-scenes turbulence marring this latest Star Wars trilogy and leading the franchise to an all-time low despite having some strengths. With fans currently in the dark about the franchise's future, user DemiPyramid on Reddit has taken to the site’s r/StarWars board to fuel some discussion of those Lucas-led plans that Disney did away with in favor of the now-canon reality. Posting some photos and excepts from 2018’s The Star Wars Archives, Episodes I — III by author Paul Duncan, DemiPyramid also offered a few quick notes on Lucas’ proposed ideas in the post title, stating, “George Lucas talks about his basic outline for Episodes VII, VIII, IX. —— The story features Luke establishing the New Jedi Order, Leia building the New Republic & becoming Supreme Chancellor in the end.”

The post draws attention to a lot of interesting characters and concepts that were underused by the Star Wars sequel trilogy that was made, including the minute amount of time dedicated to Luke and Leia, the potential for a new, wiser, and more vigilant Jedi Order, and the actual political restructuring
