George Lucas Speaks on "The Force Awakens"

Twenty-four hours after the new trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens debuted online and damn near broke Twitter, the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival gave New York City’s biggest fans of the franchise the best possible post-trailer gift: the mastermind himself, George Lucas, in person inside the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). Making the sweetness even sweeter, Lucas was interviewed on stage as part of this year’s Tribeca Talks® series by Stephen Colbert. And over the course of one laid-back, informative, and often-hilarious hour, the two titans of their respective fields didn’t disappoint.

In this clip, Colbert asks George Lucas what his hopes are for the new Star War movies as they are clearly headed to a new franchise, quite different from the original sagas created by Lucas. Lucas responds by saying how “he hopes they are successful and do a great job.” He then adds how “the original saga was about the father, the children, and the grandchildren.” However now they have “taken a different direction” and he is truly “excited to see” what they come up with.
