I saw that. Devastating interview.
This could be wrong, but the price of getting Harrison Ford back might have been killing off Solo.
For some reason, Ford seems to prefer his characters die with him and never recast.
But they could have asked Lucas or someone else he trusted to talk with Ford, instead of just saying "Sure, we'll do that if you come back.")
At this point, as unbelievable as it sounds, the prequels are the only SW movies I enjoy watching anymore.
(You can always take a snack break during the Anakin/Padme romantic dialogue.)
I'd be up for them rebooting the Original Trilogy, starting after the Revenge of the Sith.
(Assuming, of course, the crew that botched the Sequel Trilogy first gets thrown out a SpaceX airlock.)
