Thanks toa newfangled bookwritten by Lucasfilm Star Wars factextraordinaire Pablo Hidalgo , we have a lot of interesting new informationabout the extragalactic nebula far , far aside . And it plow out George Lucas ’s original plansfor a sequel trilogy bore some interesting resemblances to what actuallyhappened .
As reported bySlashFilm , according to Hidalgo in Star Wars : Fascinating Facts : Story , Lore & History From the Greatest Galaxy,“years before The Last Jedi begandevelopment , the treatment left behind by George Lucas in 2012 also had Episode 8 be the one wherein Luke Skywalkerwould drop dead . ”
Well ai n’t thatsomething ! Hidalgo also says that , in Lucas ’s telling , Lukeis “ a troglodyte , withdrawn into a very dark quad and needs to be drawn back from desperation . ”
