I thought the last trilogy would lead us there, it sort of did, but absolutely didn’t. Balance in the force, if the darkness is present in nature (the cave, the pit) it has its place in the balance.

If we take these dark and light sides of the force and put our emotions in them (as suggested by Lucas), what truly matters is wether you act on the impulses or you only listen to the message they provide. Anger can be good, but it can destroy you if it is anger who commands instead of the balanced messages of all emotions, the grey.

I think that's where the sequel trilogy was supposed to go. I remember as a kid reading Star Wars magazine. They showed the trilogy metal looking posters for the VHS/dve covers and were explaining that it went from bronze to silver to gold the sequel trilogy not even being thought about really yet in what it could be. They asked Lucas why he did it in that order blah blah blah . I don't think he directly mentioned, but I remember it sounding like he was hunting at the plot for the potential serial trilogy. And at the time he was getting like damn hate for the prequels so it was all about him not doing the sequels right? But also to me it sounded like oh I get it, you're going to make us fall out of favor with Luke. I remember it sounding like he was going to go more grey Jedi and make Luke post Return of the Jedi like a PTSD war hero Luke. Do the Full Metal Jacket thing and show like shell shock Luke and "did we do the right thing" Luke.

There was ton of preproduction done by Lucas for the sequels. Disney trashed everything (not really, but almost). Then rushed it, without a cohesive vision. What a shitshow with incredible and amazing moments, but what a shitshow.

Imagine what it could have been with Filoni and Favreau as a heart. The same filmmakers would have killed it with them guiding it all, and Lucas would have been on set half of the time.
