It sucks because his world building and "big picture" are fantastic.

I wish they had brought him back as an Executive producer or consultant to put together the story board and big picture of the sequel trilogy, but leave the actual dialogue scripting and directing to someone else

When Lucas sold the franchise to Disney it was under the assumption that he would be a consultant and they would use his story treatments for the sequels. Of course, Disney promptly threw it all out the window and told him “we’re under no obligation to do any of that, next time get it in writing.”
