Star Wars BETRAYED by George Lucas | Time to Debunk All the Excuses &
Theories & RAGE Against This!:
George Lucas snuffed out the last hope for Star Wars when he sided with
Bob Iger and the Disney Board against Nelson Peltz, ensuring that
Disney will keep on destroying not only Star Wars, but Marvel and
Indiana Jones and the entire Fox catalog.  Almost immediately desperate
fans started hatching wild theories and drumming up excuses for George,
and we're not having it!  George Lucas owns this, and in this video,

final betrayal!  RAGE, RAGE against the dying of the lightsaber with us
now! #starwars #disney #lucasfilm

George Lucas thinks Disney are stunning and brave for what they are doing to
Star Wars. I think George's fat  bank balance is the only reason he's team
woke.

Uggg shut up internet people. How can you watch a whole documentary series
about how hard child stars had it and then proceed to bully them online for
