Rogue Stormtroopers would have "started their own planets.".Darth Maul would have trained a female Sith named Darth Talon, who would have been the true villain.Luke would have started to rebuild the Jedi Order, eventually.Leia would have been the most important character, "the Chosen One." (But mostly as a political leader, not a Jedi!).Let's break down the basics of what he said. The actual news is George Lucas outlining his ideas for how his sequel trilogy would have gone. Yes, there's been rumors of a Han Solo series and a Lando Calrissian series, but that's about it. There is no reason to believe that Disney and Lucasfilm are planning a miniseries or series of films focused on the Skywalkers set just after Return of the Jedi.

In fact, if Disney has any moxie, the studio will make Lucas' plan for these sequel stories happen in the form of a Disney+ miniseries. And, the best part is, nothing that happens in The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, or The Rise of Skywalker would have to be contradicted. If you dig into the details of Lucas's plan for a sequel trilogy, the basic story could still be done. In the final pages of a mammoth new coffee table book called The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005, Lucas tells author Paul Duncan exactly what he had in mind for his sequels, and how it differed from what we ended-up seeing with the official sequel trilogy. And if you doubt that George Lucas actually said this, well, it's true, and it wasn't in a random interview either. If you follow Star Wars chatter online, you've probably already heard this one.

George Lucas wanted Darth Maul to be the villain of the sequel trilogy.
