GL already turned when he sold over to Disney. He himself was very limiting towards the progression of Star Wars even before that. I'll admit there are very convincing AI attempts online that IMO actually outdo what Disney has come out with since they've won rights, but that alone doesn't justify using AI.
What this all boils down to is that Disney should not hold the rights. At the end of the day, these AI users are still putting down some kind of story and better dialogue which Disney does not want to follow. They've forgone the real essence and telling of Star Wars and have replaced it with a very Disney vibe that appeals to what Disney chooses to. They've left out the fans entirely.
lol Nope. I'll happily watch the worst films made by the worst human hack writers over the even the best regurgitated slop "films" that a chatbot pisses out.

Anyone who saw the Special Editions and expected anything else deserves to be unpleasantly surprised right now
Lucas has never seen a technology he wasn't willing to shoehorn and abuse in one of his films.
He's like the polar opposite of James Cameron.
your mistake by selling SW rights to disney who ended using a slop generator, shouldve done a partial ownership instead. instead of getting rare sw films or shows that are decent, its just slop now.
I'm sure he'll make gobs of money off of it, as contradictory as the fan base is they will fill the theaters
Which he would get exactly $0 from since he has no ownership of Star Wars anymore.
Old, white and wealthy. Of course he thinks AI is the future, all his kind do.
