THIS WEEK ON BTBD LIVE! David, Arezou, and Pete dive into new details about #GeorgeLucas' original plan for the “Star Wars” #sequeltrilogy in Taschen’s upcoming book “The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005” (via Polygon). Perhaps the biggest revelation is that Lucas intended to resurrect “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace” villain #DarthMaul and turn him into the main antagonist of the trilogy.
