What Has George Lucas Really Said About Disney Star Wars?

Lucas didn't like the lack of originality in The Force Awakens. He wanted it to push boundaries and add new elements. Lucas thought The Last Jedi was beautifully made. He didn't comment on the story, direction, or characters. Lucas reportedly loved Rogue One. Gareth Edwards stated that he could "die happy" after hearing Lucas' review.
After creating and overseeing Star Wars for nearly four decades, George Lucas sold the franchise to Disney in 2012, and his reactions to their various movies and TV shows have been mixed. It makes sense for the creator of Star Wars to have strong opinions on how his saga has been handled in his absence, especially regarding projects that did something different than he would have. Lucas has expressed disappointment in some Disney Star Wars projects while offering praise and encouragement to others, though he had not really said as much as one would think.
