Does Lucas still get his cut of the merch money, or did The Mouse squeeze that out of him?

Yeah he still gets royalties. Supposedly he's made more after the sale than he did on the actual purchase.

He actually owns 2 percent of Disney.

Safe to say he's done alright for himself, then.

Denis Villeneuve says he has no interest in directing a Star Wars film because he believes the franchise derailed with ‘RETURN OF THE JEDI’

“Star Wars became crystallized in its own mythology, very dogmatic, it seemed like a recipe, no more surprises”

ROTJ was just as good as ESB. ESB's "darkness" is overhyped. At best, it ends in a draw. Luke escaped Vader, the Rebels were already fleeing Hoth, and the group escaped Cloud City. Han was frozen but that mattered nothing to the Empire.

The final three-way battle in ROTJ combined with the theological battle between Luke and the Emperor is absolutely amazing cinema

The original trilogy was perfect.
