content: Okay, hear me out on this. I think he was blackmailed.  He has stated before he'd never sell Star Wars. He immediately regretted the sale based on his white slavers comment.  He gave the money from the sale away to charity.  He had written story treatments that were later discarded for no reason.  He put Kathleen Kennedy in charge of Lucasfilm just before the sale. She convinced him to sell.  He has hated Hollywood since '77 when he resigned from the directors guild in protest.  He is red pilled on the JQ, look at Watto on episode 1 and Palpatine controlling both sides of the war for his own gain.  I think this was a coordinated takedown of the last major goy controlled cultural icon. Especially after seeing how they've finished their new trilogy by undoing the entire Skywalker legacy and literally having the progeny of evil incarnate win and subvert their name.
