Marcia Lucas, "Star Wars" editor and ex-wife of George Lucas, slammed the latest trilogy of movies and their producers Kathleen Kennedy and J.J. Abrams.
She served as an editor on "Star Wars," for which she won the Oscar for film editing in 1977, and "Return of the Jedi," and she was an uncredited editor on "The Empire Strikes Back." Lucas was credited with editing the thrilling Battle of Yavin and Death Star assault sequences in the first film of the trilogy. Her other editing credits include "Taxi Driver," for which she earned an BAFTA nod, "American Graffiti," which nabbed her an Oscar nom, "Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore" and "New York, New York." She was also married to "Star Wars" creator George Lucas from 1969-1983.
Having worked on the original trilogy, she criticized the deaths of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa and Rey, played by Daisy Ridley in Disney’s trilogy of sequels.
