I think George said it happened, I’m not sure anyone from Disney confirmed it?

Bring up the prequels? Interestingly enough so did George when discussing his ideas on episodes 7-9. His quote…
“[Thenext three StarWarsfilms]were going to get into a microbiotic world. But there’s 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… If I’d held onto the company I could have done it, and then it would have been done. Of course, alot of the fans would have hated it, just like they did Phantom Menace and everything, but at least the whole story from beginning to end would be told.” - George Lucas
George was a storyteller. At least the prequels told a coherent story that fit the narrative of the OT. They were world building and stage setting. The stuff we have been getting since the sell is a superior technical production, I’ll give it that, but two movies in and I still have no clue what this story is, who these characters are, or how the fuck any of it fits in with any of what came before. JJ really has his work cut out for him with this next one.
