The franchise 's creator recently told the New York Post 's Page Six that he has n't watched the teaser for next year 's `` Star Wars : Episode VII - The Force Awakens , '' which makes him the only one on the planet . When asked about it , Lucas reportedly replied `` I do n't know anything about it . I have n't seen it yet . '' Somewhere , director J.J. Abrams might be feeling a bit of a sting . Lucas reportedly sold Lucasfilm , the production company behind the `` Star Wars '' franchise , to Disney for billions in 2012 . He told Page Six he does plan on seeing the new film when it arrives in theaters on December 18 , 2015 , but when asked whether he was curious about the goings-on new version , he replied , `` Not really . '' Might he be a bit irked at the Internet 's parodic `` George Lucas Special Edition '' of the trailer ?
