Theresa Treadwell was a producer and writer who worked at Obsidian Entertainment on Fallout: New Vegas. When asked about her work on the game, she spoke about making a "conscious effort" regarding LGBT content and her perspective as a lesbian in relation to the project. She stated that Fallout: New Vegas is "one of best games out there" in the treatment of homosexuality, adding that it was an intentional decision.

We certainly didn’t intend for New Vegas to change anyone’s outlook on life, but if it did so for the better, then we’re happy for them – for you. Although I’ve been out for a very long time, I made a conscious effort to be out with relation to this project, as I wanted to be visible as a lesbian in the game industry. New Vegas itself is, I think, one of (if not the) best games out there in how we treat homosexuality – and all of that is very intentional. If my work on FNV, if my being out has helped even one gay person, then I have succeeded.

George Lucas’ Sequel Trilogy

Here’s what George Lucas had to say about the outlines he handed Disney, as he told to Paul Duncan, in 2019, who then reported it in The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005. I re-ordered some quotes for coherency.

“Episode VII, VIII, and IX would take ideas from what happened after the Iraq War. “Okay, you fought the war, you killed everybody, now what are you going to do?” Rebuilding afterwards is harder than starting a rebellion or fighting the war.”

“The movies are about how Leia — I mean, who else is going to be the leader? — is trying to build the Republic. They still have the apparatus of the Republic but they have to get it under control from the gangsters. That was the main story. It starts out a few years after Return of the Jedi and we establish pretty quickly that there’s this underworld, there are these offshoot stormtroopers who started their own planets, and that Luke is trying to restart the Jedi.”

“He puts the word out, so out of 100,000 Jedi, maybe 50 or 100 are left. The Jedi have to grow again from scratch, so Luke has to find two- and three-year-olds, and train them. It’ll be 20 years before you have a new generation of Jedi. By the end of the trilogy Luke would have rebuilt much of the Jedi, and we would have the renewal of the New Republic, with Leia, Senator Organa, becoming the Supreme Chancellor in charge of everything. So she ended up being the Chosen One.”

“When you win the war and you disband the opposing army, what do they do? The stormtroopers would be like Saddam Hussein’s Ba'athist fighters that joined ISIS and kept on fighting. The stormtroopers refuse to give up when the Republic win. They want to be stormtroopers forever, so they go to a far corner of the galaxy, start their own country and their own rebellion.”

“There’s a power vacuum so gangsters, like the Hutts, are taking advantage of the situation, and there is chaos. The key person is Darth Maul, who had been resurrected in The Clone Wars cartoons — he brings all the gangs together. […] Darth Maul trained a girl, Darth Talon, who was in the comic books, as his apprentice. She was the new Darth Vader, and most of the action was with her. So these were the two main villains of the trilogy. Maul eventually becomes the godfather of crime in the universe because, as the Empire falls, he takes over.”

We also know the films would’ve been about the microcosm of the Force. It would’ve touched on the Whills and *gasp* the midi-chlorians. The dreaded M-word…!

During an interview published in James Cameron’s Story of Science Fiction, he said:

“[The next three ‘Star Wars’ films] were going to get into a microbiotic world. But there’s this world of creatures that operate differently than we do, Lucas said. I call them the Whills. And the Whills are the ones who actually control the universe. They feed off the Force.”

So that’s all Lucas said publicly about his sequels.

That said: this version was not the final outline of George’s sequels.

Like, sure, it’s very likely the draft that was given to Disney, but the point is that: it didn’t stop there.

For a short time, George helped develop the Sequels with Disney.

The treatments he had given Disney were then reworked by screenwriter Michael Arndt (who had already started discussing this with Lucas before and after he sold LucasFilm). Unclear when they were all brought in (with Arndt, after Arndt?) but eventually Simon Kinberg, Lawrence Kasdan and J.J. Abrams too also came in on the writing side of things, and restarted from scratch.

We know, from Arndt, LucasFilm Senior Content & Asset Specialist Phil Szostak, Concept Artist Christian Alzmann and LucasFilm executive Pablo Hidalgo, that by late-2012/early-2013, Lucas was still somewhat involved in the development process of the Sequels.

The book The Art of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, gives us indications and early concept art of what would’ve happened, in Arndt and Lucas’ version:

1- The character who would become Rey

The protagonist was still a female aspiring Jedi. Her name changed a lot, including Winkie, Taryn, Thea and eventually Kira.

She finds Luke, and he decides to come back from exile and train her.

2- Luke Skywalker

Speaking of which: Luke is in exile, described by Lucas as a “a Col. Kurtz type hiding from the world in a cave”, in self-imposed exile & spiritually in “a dark place”. The “why” of his exile wasn’t ever explained. 

Christian Alzmann, among other concept artists, illustrated this, and one of his images (left) received a “fabouloso” stamp by Lucas.

Other concept artists tried to illustrate the First Jedi Temple, some of them got approved by Lucas, such as one from James Clyne (below).

Also, Luke still died in Episode 8. In fact, that whole arc from TLJ, of Luke being exiled but being convinced by the female lead to return and get back in the fight, was already there.

The BIG difference was that the ‘exile and return’ part of that arc both happened in Episode 7, not 8. And then he would’ve died heroically in Episode 8. So instead of having Luke for one movie, we would’ve had him for two whole movies.

3- Other characters

Darth Talon was in it, aka the Jedi Killer. She seduces the son of Han and Leia to the Dark Side. 

Talon worked for a big villain called “Uber” (who may have been Maul in previous drafts, or maybe even still was Maul, only under a code-name). Eventually this character became Snoke.

However, the son of Han and Leia would’ve turned to the Dark Side in the movies, rather than already being on the Dark Side when the first movie started.

In some versions of the story, the son was named Skylar (or Skyler), who was a tag team with Kira.

After Lucas was no longer involved, Skylar eventually developed into Finn (a scoundrel/pirate archetype that tag teams with Kira) and Ben (the son of Han & Leia), now the Jedi Killer instead of Talon.

Also, Harrison Ford told GQ Magazine that Lucas asked him to come back to play Han for Episode 7, even though Solo would die in that same episode. Whether or not Han dying was still in Lucas’ mind when he worked on the treatments is unclear.

So yeah, there were some similarities with what we actually got (Han and Leia’s child falling to the Dark Side, Luke being in exile, training an aspiring Jedi, dying in Ep. 8, Han dying in Ep. 7).
