i heard a story from some people who worked on a pretty high profile...ancillary star wars entertainment product ....
anyway they heard word that lucas was very excited about the project and was, in fact, so excited about it that he had come up with a brand new character expressly for this project that would become part of the official star wars canon, etc.
obviously everyone was really excited.
the day came for lucas to meet with them. lucas coming to their offices was basically like the fuckin' pope or president coming, huge deal, big preparation, everyone's buzzing around etc etc
so they finally sit down with lucas in the conference room, and he starts by saying how impressed he was, how he wanted this product to be a real core part of star wars lore, blah blah blah...
then he says, "So the character I've created for the [project] is..."
*everyone leans forward, anticipating with bated breath*
"....Darth...Icky"
so they're like, "Darth...Icky"
and he's like, "yes, Darth Icky - I-C-K-Y" and begins to explain the character
so then after they were all freaking out like how the fuck are we gonna write around this retarded character etc, eventually they just drug their feet on it for long enough that lucas had moved on to his next brilliant idea and forgot about it and the public never knew of Darth Icky.

no morbs otm - i think depalma and scorsese expressed their regrets when he screened it for them, iirc the only one who didn't see a disaster was (shocker) spielberg who told him it was going to be a huge huge hit. studio obv didn't have much faith in it either since they gave him all the rights for waiving his director's fee right?

I've heard stories about him at Lucasarts, like getting personally interested in the development of Force Unleashed 2 for some reason, before getting bored and wandering off for something off.
Suffice it to say that all reports of the game were that it suuuuuuucked, to the point of cloning the dead protagonist of the previous game because they could come up with a better idea

Looks like Episode VII plans just borked the most popular current property, after its season just ended on a major cliffhanger: http://starwars.com/news/a-new-direction-for-lucasfilm-animation.html
As we enter into an exciting new era focused on the next Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm has decided to pursue a new direction in animated programming. We are exploring a whole new Star Wars series set in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming. You can expect more details in the months to come.As part of this shift, we have also made some key decisions affecting Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Detours.After five highly successful and critically acclaimed seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we feel the time has come to wind down the series. While the studio is no longer producing new episodes for Cartoon Network, we're continuing production on new Clone Wars story arcs that promise to be some of the most thrilling adventures ever seen. Stay tuned for more information on where fans can soon find this bonus content. In the video below, Supervising Director Dave Filoni offers a peek of what is to come in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.At Star Wars Celebration VI last year, George Lucas gave fans a glimpse at the animated comedy series Star Wars Detours from Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, and Todd Grimes. Detours was conceived and produced before we decided to move forward with the new Star Wars trilogy, and in the wake of that decision, Lucasfilm has reconsidered whether launching an animated comedy prior to the launch of Episode VII makes sense. As a result, we've decided to postpone the release of Detours until a later date.We are incredibly proud of the teams at Lucasfilm Animation for creating some of the most amazing animation ever produced for TV. Keep checking StarWars.com for new developments on these and future projects.

No, i thought that meant Clone Wars was being eliminated (sad) in favor of focusing on sub-Family Guy schtick.

Phil, the rest of that core paragraph indicates more episodes are coming! Probably just means they'll be on Disney TV instead, obv.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 11 March 2013 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
I have a feeling they'll be online-only, which, ugh. Right now "Clone Wars" is the golden goose, and I hate to think they're killing it prematurely.

I just thought, it would be so funny if Star Wars 7 opened with the Emperor falling down the shaft and then like using the force to float safely to the ground. He walks away cackling, the villain for the new trilogy is found, and the entire legacy of the first 6 movies is destroyed.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 15 March 2013 00:04 (eleven years ago) link
the emperor tears off "his" mask, and "he" is yoko
― reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 15 March 2013 01:09 (eleven years ago) link
In one of the comic book sequels, it's revealed the Emperor has clone bodies he can use if his current body gets killed, and he simply comes back as a clone. AFAIK this story is still considered canon, but whatever will happen in SW7 will probably contradict it. It'd be pretty funny if they used that story in the movie, though.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Empire_I
With the release of the prequels and the revelation that Anakin Skywalker was destined to bring balance to the Force by destroying the Sith, Dark Empire has been criticized for contradicting the prophecy of the Chosen One and Anakin's killing of Palpatine. However, Tom Veitch could hardly have known what George Lucas had planned for the prequels, which were not made for another seven years.
Other fans have criticized the resurrection of the Star Wars saga's main antagonist.
Veitch has also been criticized for having many pivotal events occur within a single panel or entirely off-panel, which many fans found to be jarring.
I've read this series, and last comment is very apt, the plot is pretty awful to follow. For some reason it's still considered one of the best SW comics though.
― Tuomas, Friday, 15 March 2013 09:50 (eleven years ago) link
Part of that might be because it came out at a time when people were jonesing for anything SW (right around the time of the Timothy Zahn novels). At least 12 yr old me was, I remember being pretty excited about it.
