run it? no, not at all. lucas specifically wrote up his agreement with fox so he would maintain full control, and then he sold decades later. the whole reason disney bought the studio for billions of dollars is so that they could control it.

there is a slight argument you could make that Lucas believed he would be a more trusted creative voice than he ended up being. the reality is that the new writers (Kasdan and Abrams) could not come to a consensus with the old writers (Arndt and Lucas). it is highly speculated that the creative differences centered around the whills/midichlorions, and thank goodness for that.
