During the research for the dissertation I have been unable to find the reasoning behind George Lucas's chose to retain the Star Wars licensing rights. I found a contact email on the Skywalker ranch website and I received the following reply:
'Thank you very much for your email requesting to interview George Lucas. We’re happy to know you admire Mr. Lucas' work, and that you would like to reach out to him for your dissertation. Because Mr. Lucas receives such a large amount of similar requests, we regret we’re not able to accommodate your request, especially in light of his retirement and travel schedule. If you would like to make your request with someone at Lucasfilm, you can try emailing their PR department: publicity@lucasfilm.com.
If you would like to learn more about George Lucas, we can recommend two books: GEORGE LUCAS, THE CREATIVE IMPULSE by Charles Champlin and THE CINEMA OF GEORGE LUCAS by Marcus Hearn. You should be able to find them at the library, and they contain a great deal of information about Mr. Lucas and his career. I have also attached a list of other books that may interest you about Mr. Lucas and Star Wars.
Once again, thank you for your email and we wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.
Best,
Kristine

From a PPP perspective, it was certain that I wouldn't be able to immediately ask George Lucas a direct question. Although it is unclear on the copy above, some parts of the message were in different fonts, signifying the message was copy-and-pasted from a prescribed list.
The attached document they sent me included a documentary, which actually answered my question, so I will have to think of something else to ask Lucas.
I was surprised by how useful the answer actually was, which suggests that the ranch indeed recieves a lot of similar questions.
