There are angels, demons, magical daggers made of mist, griffins, and gargoyles. The story is weird. Really weird. There are things in this story you never see in Star Wars. The Father is the one keeping balance to the force as the Son and Daughter battle it out between evil and good. Before The Father dies, he asks Anakin to take his place, so someone can continue to bring balance to The Force. It's occupied by The Father, Son, and Daughter (I wonder where George got that idea from), otherwise known as Force Wielders.
In the “Mortis Trilogy,” Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano are mysteriously drawn to the mystical planet of Mortis. It fell on Filoni and writer Christian Taylor to tell George's story, and they wanted to get it right, as it was full of new information about how The Force worked. It's pretty clear that by the fourth season that George was no longer a major creative presence on the show.īut in the third season, in 2011, a year before he sold Lucasfilm, there was a very odd trilogy of episodes called the “Mortis Trilogy.” As Clone Wars director Dave Filoni describes it in the DVD extras, “George laid out these episodes, and the writers were in awe.” They also didn't know what to make of it. We know he was heavily involved in the beginning and then slowly stepped away.
He went to create the Clone Wars animated TV series for Cartoon Network. Still, George Lucas wasn't quite done with Star Wars after Revenge of the Sith. Unfortunately, people preferred the swashbuckling, comedy-action tone of the originals, not the plodding politics of the first three episodes. But George Lucas is a visionary and he deserves lots and lots of credit for trying to do something different with each of the Star Wars movies. He wanted to move on and, after the prequels, I think a lot of fans wanted him to move on.
