Lucas’ revelations cast doubt on this climax – with Anakin’s daughter rising to prominence, restoring peace and justice to the galaxy, and assuming the role of Supreme Chancellor. In the original Jedi prophecy, the chosen one was destined to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force – a destiny interpreted as being fulfilled by Anakin in the climax of Return Of The Jedi. The most notable of these revelations is that Leia is viewed as the chosen one of the saga – and not her father, Anakin Skywalker. “By the end of the trilogy Luke would have rebuilt much of the Jedi,” Lucas said, “and we would have the renewal of the New Republic, with Leia, Senator Organa, becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. Luke Skywalker, on the other hand, began the restoration of the Jedi Order and would have spent much of the trilogy training a new generation of Jedi.

With Talon at his side, Maul was destined to become “the godfather of crime” as the remnants of the shattered Empire faded into extinction.Īdditionally, Lucas revealed that Carrie Fisher’s unconquerable Leia Organa would have been the driving force behind the trilogy as she attempted to rebuild the Republic, all while battling gangsters and former Imperials who had set up their own planets following the collapse of the Empire.

The book reveals that Darth Maul (Ray Park) was destined to return as the new big bad of the trilogy alongside his new apprentice, Darth Talon – the Sith Lord from the Dark Horse Star Wars: Legacy comic series. In a juicy excerpt from The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005, a new book detailing the making of the prequel trilogy, Lucas’ original vision has been revealed for all to see – and it features the return of Darth Maul, the restoration of the Jedi Order under the guidance of Luke Skywalker, and Leia Organa‘s struggle to rebuild the Republic. With The Rise Of Skywalker fading into memory and bookending Disney’s Skywalker Saga, new revelations about George Lucas’ unrealized sequel trilogy have come to light and they have revealed a very different vision for the galaxy far, far away… New revelations about Lucas’ unmade trilogy reveals Maul was destined to return with Darth Talon as his apprentice
