Nerdonymous 2020-05-21 | Was there a plan for the overarcing story of the sequel trilogy? What did "the plan" have to do with what George Lucas intended for the trilogy? Did Rian Johnson subvert "the plan"? These questions and more are absolutely going to be addressed in this video.

Nerdonymous 2020-02-09 | George Lucas developed a storyline for the Star Wars sequel trilogy, which was discarded by Disney/Lucasfilm. In this video, I try to answer the question: Why?
