《星球大战：原力觉醒》取得了令人难以置信的成功，赢得了好评，打破了电影纪录，并帮助2015年成为美国票房史上最高的一年。然而，至少有一个人对这部新片并不完全满意：乔治·卢卡斯。《星球大战》的创作者查理·罗斯在接受采访时将**电影版权比作将自己的孩子卖给“白人奴隶主”，并在谈到他是否有可能帮助拍摄新电影时说：“他们并不想让我参与进来。”

卢卡斯仍然对**《星球大战》感到矛盾

在一次范围相当广泛的采访中，卢卡斯谈到了很多话题，包括他与史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格的竞争、导演的自恋以及神话的深层根源。但是，大约45分钟后，卢卡斯对《星球大战：原力觉醒》的看法被提了出来。他要说的是：

The first three movies had all kinds of issues. [Disney] looked at the stories and they said we want to make something for the fans. So I said all I want to do is tell the story of what happened. You know, it started here and it went there. It's all about generati*** and it's about, you know, the issues of fathers and s*** and grandfathers; it's a family soap opera. I mean, ultimately. We call it a space opera, but people don't realize it's actually a soap opera. And it's all about family problems — it's not about spaceships.

So, they decided they didn't want to use those stories. They said they were going to go do their own thing, so I decided, fine, but basically I'm not going to try to... they weren't that keen to have me involved anyway. But at the time I said ... if I get in there, I'm just gonna cause trouble, because they're not gonna do what I want them to do, so. And I don't have the control to do that anymore, and all I would do is muck everything up. So I said, okay, I will go my way, and I'll let them go their way.

And it really does come down to a really simple rule of life, which is when you break up with somebody, the first rule is no phone calls. The second rule, you don't go over to their house and drive by to see what they're doing. The third one is you don't show up at their coffee shop or the thing ... you just say: nope, gone, history — I'm moving forward... Every time you do something like that, you're opening the wound again, and it just makes it harder for you. You have to put it behind you, and it's a very, very, very hard thing to do. But you have to just cut it off and say okay, end of ball game. I got to move on. And everything in your body says, don't, you can't — and these are my kids.

All those Star Wars films ... I loved them, I created them, I'm very intimately involved in them, and I sold them to the white slavers that take these things and uh, and ... [laughs]

罗斯从来没有在这最后一句话上推过卢卡斯，但很明显，卢卡斯仍然对卖电影感到矛盾。虽然他说他对所发生的事情感到平静，但他认为原力觉醒的风格不符合他的口味。”[“迪斯尼]想拍一部复古电影，”卢卡斯说我不喜欢这样。”你可以看下面的完整采访：
