Kutshanje, iimemo zentloko ye-Walt Disney Robert Abiiger, apho yena, ngokukodwa, wathi uMdali weemfazwe zenkanyezi, wayecaphukile kukhuselo lwefilimu entsha. Kwangoko, i-lucas ithengise ilungelo lokufumana uluhlu lweefilimu ezintsha, kodwa uMsunguli weLucasfilm wayenethemba lokuba iipeyinti ezizayo ziya kulandela isicwangciso esimiselweyo - masingabi yinxalenye yeembophelelo zesivumelwano. Kodwa ukubona "ukuvusa kwamandla", i-Lucas, ngokwe-AIGER, "ayifihli into yokuphoxeka," ngenxa yokuba kwakungekho nto intsha kwifilimu. "
Kudliwanondlebe ngamatye aqengqelekayo, uMongameli uLucasfilm U-Katheeen Kennedy wazama ukucacisa eli tyala:
Ndiqhelene noGeorge ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-35, sisekuhle kakhulu, ngabahlobo abalungileyo kakhulu. Ndicinga ukuba kukho imizekelo eyaneleyo xa abantu bedale into esisiseko kwaye babaluleke kakhulu ngokwabo, kodwa xa kufikwa ukuba bahlukane nayo, emva koko ubomi babo butshintsha bube bunzima. Kubonakala kum ukuba ekuqaleni uGeorge wayengekho lula - ndicinga ukuba wayengalindelanga ukuba uza kuba nzima. Kwangelo xesha, uJay Jay [Abrams] wangena kulo msebenzi ngenzondelelo enkulu nangokukutyibilike kwi "Wars yenkanyezi" kunye noGeorge, kodwa wayenokwenza into. Umlawuli ngamnye, ukuqala ukusebenza kwifilimu entsha, kufuneka ayifumane indlela yayo kwaye axelele ibali lakho. Ke kukho into entsha, enye umbono. Ndicinga ukuba le nto ibangela ukuba impendulo enjalo evela kuGeorge.
UKennedy wongeze ukuba iLucas kufuneka izisole nje ukuba akasathathi nxaxheba "iimfazwe zenkanyezi". Kwangelo xesha, uyathandabuza ukuba i-Lucas iya kuze ithathe indalo yenye ifilimu njengenxalenye ye-franchise eyasungulwa nguye.
