It was his money, though. It wasn't like he was taking money from a studio, then producing those films.
I've mentioned this several times before but Lucas did reach out to every A-List director at the time but no one wanted to touch a Star Wars property because in the end, it's a losing proposition. Just look what's happened to JJ Abrams, Rian Johnson, Chris Miller and Phil Lord, Gareth Edwards and Ron Howard since directing Star Wars films. Outside of Howard, their reputations were dragged through the mud for months, if not years, on end, they were threatened on Social Media and fans boycotted Lucasfilm releases. Sometimes the best move is the move you don't make. |

...completely explains their acting in this scene, too.

Having now read about 8-10 of the EU novels, it's even more mind-boggling to me that Disney ****ed this whole thing up.
They were spoon fed several great characters and storylines. All they had to do was make a half-hearted effort to harmonize them and turn them into screenplays. Hell, they didn't even have to stick to those stories, but the foundations were in place. And they just absolutely gacked all of it. It's completely inexplicable. |

If original actors were too old, a slight modification to their successors in place for all the action, and done. |

How is Talon Kardde not front and center in this?
If Han and Luke are too old, you have Kardde and Corran Horne on your bench. It just shouldn't have been possible to mess it up this badly. |

Hell, could've done 3 with Thrawn and 3 with the Darth Caedus arc.

The answer to this was simple: You don’t put a person who has no creative talent or knowledge of Star Wars in charge of Star Wars. No one should be surprised that they screwed it up or that every movie Kathleen Kennedy started had to undergo massive re-writes and post-principal photography changes.
