George Lucas has recently admitted that his ideas for a new trilogy of 'Star Wars' films were ignored by studio Disney after he sold all rights to them in October 2012.

The 70-year-old said that the screenplays that he sold to Disney, they came up to the decision that they didn't really want to do those, so they made up their own, the Mashable reported.

However, for awhile, the notion was that Lucas' vision for the next three chapters of his universe would form the foundation that the team assembled for the new movies would work from.

Disney plans to release a new trilogy of Star Wars films between 2015- 2019.
