![]() ![]() George Lucas claimed that he had more Star Wars stories to tell, but not a single film was in active production. In the '80s, Lucasfilm had tried to keep the franchise alive with animated series like Droids and Ewoks, but those fizzled out. It's hard to imagine these days, when every year brings a new Star Wars movie and a truckload of spin-off media, but in the early '90s Star Wars was effectively dead. Would they really be better than Lucasfilms' newest efforts? And what makes them so popular, anyway? Now that The Last Jedi has split the Star Wars community in two, some fans have proposed that Disney should have brought author Timothy Zahn's Thrawn books-the original Star Wars sequel trilogy-to the big screen instead of introducing viewers to Rey, Finn, Poe and the rest. The original Star Wars sequel trilogy actually launched way back in 1991, although you'd be forgiven for missing it-after all, it debuted in bookstores, not the local theater. The Force Awakens wasn't the first attempt to continue the story of the Skywalker family. ![]()
