The shame of it is, they will never be able to get all of the original cast together again. Carrie Fisher is dead, and I think Harrison Ford has said he's done with Star Wars (although the latest Indiana Jones flop proves he'll do anything if enough money is involved).
In my early, hopeful stage of hearing this, I don’t think it would make sense for Lucas to have gone back only to have his hands tied - as a marketing stunt basically.
That being said, it would be far easier to try to “recapture the spirit” of Star Wars to him, than to actually try to fix their total cockup of a “trilogy”...but it’s not impossible either.
It could probably even be done without explicitly using “time travel” but just some shiet about the universal balance of the force, “parallel” universes based on our choices, a wound in the force, whatever.
I guess I’m just
a) cautiously optimistic
b) tired of being preemptively negative (even if that’s been borne out basically 99% of the time).
If they continue to suck, great, I’ll continue to not give a shit. But a Christopher Nolan or Timothy Zahn led Star Wars could be dope.
If they had any brains they'd just print money by adapting the EU novels. The hard work is already done, and Hollywood loves reboots and living off other peoples' efforts anyway.
Unless he's able to say "it was all a dream" there's nothing he could do to fix things.
Just pull a Disney, make everything Disney did non cannon and pretend that retardation never happened

They had one chance and they blew it.

So:
But all is forgiven, because Daddy is home and the "force balance?"
Yeah. All yours buddy. Keep it all.
You make one change, Luke never tried to kill child Adam Driver, and the rest falls into place.

Real Talk: Lucas was never that good of a story teller anyway. He's not getting anyone out of anything.
