Probably not a good thing. Lucas has always been good at the macro storytelling level he just isn\’t able to execute it well. And I agree with focusing on the younger characters is the better direction.

Good. Lucas used to be a good ideas-man, but his recent stuff has been dreadful. The prequels didn\’t have any relatable characters with personality. The plots were overly complicated, yet childish and stupid.
Indiana Jones 4 wasn\’t as bad, but had tons of problems (aliens, John Hurt\’s non-character, Ray Winstone\’s dumb double-agent-shtick etc).
While I\’m not the biggest Abrams fan, I think that he\’s better at writing likable characters and good action adventure plot (Super 8, the first Star Trek).

It would be cool if Disney/Marvel turned Lucas\’ original treatment for the sequel trilogy into a graphic novel, something radically different from The Force Awakens. That way we\’d at least get to see some version of what Lucas had in mind.

Seems like a good thing to me, assuming there\’s more Kasdan and less Abrams in the final draft of the script.

Lucas was a luck schmuck who managed to fleece American teenagers for three decades by updating old fairy tales. He was on the forefront of cinematic technology but mostly he\’s been getting fat off other peoples achievements. It\’s the American dream personified-it\’s all about who you know. The guy has been DOA since the late-80s in the idea department so it\’s no wonder Disney ditched his treatments. The prequels while amassing great merchandise sales were not the memorable bonanzas either McCullum or Fox had envisioned when jumping onboard. So there\’s a frayed history in those camps in letting the emperor pose with no clothes. And it widely known Lucas almost brought his relationship with Speilberg to the brink by watering down the fourth Indy picture; the film speaks for itself as to how bad Lucas\’ mind has dwindled. So it\’s actually a good sign Disney has the notion to push little Georgie to the side and use basically just characters upon which his empire of dust was built.
