Star Wars: The Force Awakens formåede ikke bare at hive rekordmange penge hjem, men var også højt elsket af de fleste anmeldere. Blandt fans var modtagelsen mere blandet, og iblandt dem der ikke var vild med filmen er seriens skaber, George Lucas.
Åbenbart kan Lucas ikke lide filmen, og nu har vi fået forklaret hvorfor af Disneys officielle CEO, Bob Iger. For nylig har Iger skrevet en bog ved navn The Ride of a Lifetime: Lessons Learned from 15 Years as CEO of the Walt Disney Company., hvor det specifikke citat er blevet udplukket af CNET.
Her forklarer Iger, at Lucas åbenbart har kritiseret filmen for ikke at tage nok kreative chancer, og at den ikke var anderledes nok. Iger giver faktisk Lucas ret - delvist.
"In each of the films in the original trilogy, it was important to [Lucas] to present new worlds, new stories, new characters, and new technologies. In this one, he said, 'There weren't enough visual or technical leaps forward."
"He wasn't wrong, but he also wasn't appreciating the pressure we were under to give ardent fans a film that felt quintessentially Star Wars. We'd intentionally created a world that was visually and tonally connected to the earlier films, to not stray too far from what people loved and expected, and George was criticizing us for the very thing we were trying to do."
