Lucas envisioned Leia as the sequel’s main compass, eventually revealing the Princess to be the Chosen One!
PerCannes Film Festival interview, Lucas states,
“Who do you think the heroes are in these stories?
What do you think Princess Leia was?
Shes the head of the rebellion.
Lucas also pictured the fourth trilogy introducing a new kind of antagonist.
Unlike the Sith and the Empire,the next villains would be linked to the Whills influence.
But theres this world of creatures that operate differently than we do.
I call them the Whills.
And the Whills are the ones who actually control the universe.
They feed off the Force.”
The Whills approach marked a major departure from the more straightforward light vs. dark duality in earlier episodes.
Furthermore, Lucas conceptualized a movie centered on theWookiees and another centered on Ewoksfor Episodes X-XII.
TheStar Warsfranchise is available to stream on Disney+.
