I believe that he had a basic storyline at the beginning and he used one part of it for ANH. But it was changed and altered. Then each subsequent film was written and underwent lots of changes and alterations. That is probably why the OT in itself, does not gel perfectly either.
All in all though, I agree. Lucas was making this up as he went. And that storyline that he initially wrote went through more changes than any of us can imagine, making everything very convoluted and impossible to piece together in a cohesive and logical way.
See!!! This why you never start your story in the middle!!! And dammit.....a little planning goes a long way.
