LucasFilm is owned by Disney so I'm not sure much if any credit should be given to them. The same company that made 1,2,3 joined the light side and started making good films? This is all on Disney for coming out and saying we're going to make 7,8,9 and a couple of independents like Young Han Solo and a film about the bounty hunter guy, oh and Lucas? Nah we dont need him.
Star Wars is money in the bank and to big to fail operation. See SW1:TPM.
My question for you is that Ive heard the CGI Leia is hit or miss. Is it not as good as Tarkin?
