Star Wars IX (film)

George Lucas can't do anything to save this awful trilogy, never mind just ep. IX. It's a fat disaster from beginning to end.

George Lucas can't do anything to save this awful trilogy, never mind just ep. IX. It's a fat disaster from beginning to end. Aye. It’s amazing just how disappointing those films turned out to be.

I don't buy it. There is such a vast amount of CGI in these films that it'd be impossible for there to be such extensive amount of work be done on an "alternate cut" without prior go-ahead from powers-that-be. This sort of stuff may have worked back in the days when all that required for a different cut was just more time in the editing suite, but that's a long gone phenomena. Any supposed "alternate cut" would be so filled with poor workprint CGI that it'd be impossible for it to receive such a marked increase in audience score at a supposed screening. I wonder why Lucas would even had access to the studio/film? He's no longer "Star Wars". Unless he was brought in as the film was having issues?

Aye. It’s amazing just how disappointing those films turned out to be. Mmmm..Disney bought something that they overlooked in 1976 and put the wrong people in charge of it. It's truly spectacular just how badly they fucked it up. But then again, letting JJ Abrams at the helm of Episode VII should have been a wake up call to everyone. In years to come it'll be a bench mark on what not to do. Astonishing.

[MinionZombie]

He probably doesn't. This wreaks of just wishful thinking. Maybe somebody caught a whiff of "Release The Snyder Cut" and thought they'd have a go?

[Neil]

Maybe somebody caught a whiff of "Release The Snyder Cut" and thought they'd have a go? A Lucas cut of IX would sell like hot cakes!

As others have said, I don’t see how this could even be possible. Lucas isn’t directly attached to the franchise anymore. The upcoming Justice League Snyder Cut is probably the cause of this. However, that’s an entirely different set of circumstances. Lucas on Star Wars would be like bringing Richard Donner to reconfigure JL. Just doesn’t make sense.
