Many, many years ago, on this thread, DJP in a previous life said this:

"He should have a mentor in this. Somebody you never see, but he refers to from time to time, somebody you want to see. The man who taught him everything. The man who gave him whatever power he has now. Maybe some supreme archeologist who's maybe ninety years old like Max Von Sydow, and is dying now."
Maybe they're just really bad at estimating ages.

As far as I've seen, these are the first specifics George Lucas has shared about what his vision of Episodes 7-9 would have been.

I think Lucas was only able to make the prequels because he didn't work consistently enough after SW for the world to realize how bad his ideas are.

Like I'm convinced that a Lucas who was productive through the '80s and '90s would've decisively burned up all of his capital a la Shyamalan.

If the Force is powered by the Whills, the Sith must be powered by the Whonts.
I read that post hearing the voice from Patton Oswalt's routine about time-travelling to kill Lucas pre-prequels.

So if I'm connecting the dots correctly, Lucas's original idea for episode VII was tweaked to remove all SW references and ultimately filmed as

i mean the original draft for star wars was called journal of the whills or something, right? but if those microbiotic creatures are supposedly operate differently than us, what use would they have for journals?
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Thursday, 14 June 2018 15:10 (six years ago) link
they weren't microbes thenthe great thing about those embryonic SW versions is how they are really just these collections of cool evocative names and titles with the actual story and character matter unstable as fuck. i love that.

It's almost, almost, as if Lucas considers storytelling to be the least important element of telling a story.

which can be totally awesome! if only he had the boldness to make truly ornamental/ambient SF in that mode
