As it turns out, George Lucas would have remedied the latter issue had he retained control of Star Wars and his villain would have been none other than Darth Maul. Specifically because there didn’t seem to be any linear plot connecting each film into a satisfying whole, to say nothing of the trilogy’s lack of a clear-cut villain. “Obviously, during a war, there are lots and lots of stories, there’s action, there’s drama, there’s heartbreak and sometimes there’s comedy.George Lucas Planned to Make Darth Maul the Main Villain of Star Wars VII – IXĪfter years of waiting, fans finally got a new trilogy of Star Wars films titled, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker, all of which were met with mixed results. “ ‘The Clone Wars’ is a lot of fun for me, because in the normal course of the Skywalker saga, what happened during the Clone Wars is never told - we see a little of the beginning and a little of the end, but other than that, it’s skipped over,” Lucas said. The new film and series will fill in gaps between “Episode II: Attack of the Clones” and “Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” with stories of Anakin, Padmé Amidala, Count Dooku and other second-trilogy characters. The “Clone Wars” film in August will lead into a weekly animated television series of the same title that will air on both the Cartoon Network and TNT beginning in the fall. “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.” “I get asked all the time, ‘What happens after “Return of the Jedi”?,’ and there really is no answer for that,” he said. 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. 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. “It’s been covered in the books and video games and comic books, which are things I think are incredibly creative but that I don’t really have anything to do with other than being the person who built the sandbox they’re playing in.” “There really isn’t any story to tell there,” the filmmaker said.
