Many fans have been relatively skeptical when they say that there are different and better versions of films from a specific director, but when ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ became official after 3 years of fighting to release it by his followers, this has served to make many realize that it is true, there are more versions that the public has not seen of various films. Now, a new report ensures that Disney wants to release not only a new version of ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ on Disney +, but that there is also a Lucas version!
During the time that The House of the Mouse has been at the forefront of ‘Star Wars’, they have generated a lot of criticism, many people even cling to the idea that there are better versions of the new films in the saga, in addition Some reports claim that the studio is considering numerous options that could completely eliminate the last three films from the official ‘Star Wars’ cinematic canon.
Although many fans do not want to accept it, the version of ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ that hit theaters was the one that JJ Abrams had intended to do since his return to the saga became official, despite the fact that requests were launched for Lucasfilm to launch an ‘Abrams Cut’ (which there is no evidence of existing) Abrams himself admitted that he had no interest in releasing special editions of his work.
In addition to this, other rumors have ensured that George Lucas put together his own edition of ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ that is far superior to the film that hit theaters in December 2019, but that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, is actively hiding from the public.
According to the Express portal, it has been revealed that the new CEO of Disney, Bob Chapek, wants to launch a new version of ‘The Rise of Skywalker’ on Disney +, this new version is the one created by George Lucas and includes dozens of scenes that stayed in the editing room, seeing it would would tell and incredible story never discovered before. According to the portal, Chapek not only wants Lucas’s vision to come out but also Abrams’s, so there would be two new cuts of the film in 2023 on Disney +.
Of course, this should be taken with a grain of salt as it is highly unlikely that this will occur, and Disney is not inclined to let the fans be the ones who choose which one, unless there is a lot of pressure from followers to release one like they did for the “Snyder Cut”. For now, Lucasfilm and Disney are overhauling everything so that ‘The Mandalorian’ season 2 arrives on Disney + at the end of the year.
