George Lucas’s Sequels & Bob Iger’s Book

In this episode we chat one on one in the escape pod all about the recent buzz from Bob Iger's new book. George Lucas's feelings on the sequel trilogy, how he was blindsided in a meeting with Kathy, J.J. Abrams and company about going forward with their ideas for what the sequels would look like having not been warned by Bob prior to the meeting. Bob writes about how he regrets not handling the situation better. We piece that together with his interview on Charlie Rose after EPISODE 7 came out and his feelings toward DISNEY there. And talk about what George's ideas for the sequel trilogies would've been, his treatments and the concept art from TFA that was based on his ideas with ties to the PREQUELS. Lucas's sequel trilogy really would have brought it round circle, we miss George and wish him all the best in his retirement, and all the best for JJ as he finishes The Rise of Skywalker in post production.
