Selvom der var en slags positiv energi omkring Star Wars efter The Force Awakens løb igennem biograferne verden over, så gik luften hurtigt af ballonen efter Star Wars: The Last Jedi, og derfra blev det ikke meget bedre.
Siden da har Disney trukket følehornene lidt til sig, og det vides endnu ikke rigtig hvad planen er for Star Wars-licensen fremadrettet. Men det forhindrer ikke en af de centrale klippere bag den originale filmtrilogi, Marcia Lucas, i at være ret vred over de seneste tre film.
Hun har ikke bare klippet den originale trilogi, hun er også George Lucas' ekskone, og har levet og åndet Star Wars siden begyndensen. Hun har skrevet forordet til bogen Howard Kazanjian: A Producer's Life (via IGN), og her bruger hun meget spalteplads på at kritiserer Disneys plan for universet:
"They don't get it. And J.J. Abrams is writing these stories — when I saw the movie where they kill Han Solo, I was furious... Absolutely, positively there was no rhyme or reason to it. I thought, You don't get the Jedi story. You don't get the magic of Star Wars. You're getting rid of Han Solo? And then at the end of this last one, they have Luke disintegrate. They killed Han Solo. They killed Luke Skywalker. And they don't have Princess Leia anymore. And they're spitting out movies every year."
Det skal dog siges, at hun heller ikke var glad for den såkaldte "prequel-trilogi", som hendes daværende mand instruerede. Hun beskriver det at se Episode 1 således:
"I remember going out to the parking lot, sitting in my car and crying. aI cried. I cried because I didn't think it was very good. And I thought [George] had such a rich vein to mine, a rich palette to tell stories with... There were things I didn't like about the casting, and things I didn't like about the story, and things I didn't like — it was a lot of eye candy. CG."
