In an interview withMTV , Abrams spill the beans about everythingThe ascension of Skywalkerneeds to accomplish so as to go down as a successful film . Understanding the magnitude of the project , Abrams feel it would be a good thing to pick Lucas ' mind :
" I palpate that the storey we severalize , the goal for this movie , the job was to end not just this trilogy – and just to make a stand - alone film , of course it take to ferment in that way too – but to end nine films , three trilogies . And so the chore was to expect at all of them , including [ The Last Jedi ] , and ask ourselves , ‘ What is the inevitability ? Where is this fail ? ’ There have been a lot of ideas since the beginning , since George [ Lucas ] first came up with this , of where thing could go [ in the last film ] . We had a meeting with him before we even wrote the script about [ The Rise of Skywalker ] . "
Of course , Abrams could n’t get into any contingent about what he and Lucas discussed , but odds are Palpatine was part of the conversation . The overarching scoundrel of the sagamakes his surprisal return inEpisode IX , so Abrams might have wanted to see if Lucas had any input in regard to that chronicle ribbon . After all , it was Lucas who come up withthe story of Darth Plagueis , which was about dark side users hold the power to rip off death . regard the plan all along was to make Palpatine the big speculative forEpisode IX , Abrams was doing his due diligence here to ensure hisRise of Skywalkerscript honor what Lucas had done on the previous installation . While there was a concentrated effort inForce Awakensmarketing to outdistance the new film from the prequels , Lucasfilm decidedly has n’t had any qualm about integrating ideas from that traduce trilogy into the modern moving-picture show . If this is the payoff for the entire Skywalker saga , Episode IXneeds to pull from all corners of it .
This is n’t to say Lucas assist write the screenplay or had an open hand inThe Rise of Skywalker’sdevelopment . But it ’s still nice to hear Abrams did n’t shut Lucas out entirely and made sure the creator ofStar Warswas involve in some capacity . Specifics about their meeting in all likelihood wo n’t come up until the picture show premieres , but perhaps by then , it ’ll be confirmed Lucas had a key office in craft a scene or two . After all , at least one of his ideas forSolo : A Star Wars Storymade it into the finished movie .
