I agree with you there... Darth Simon, from a film stand point the trilogy would be different... GL considered himself a "rebel" in the film industry and he put that into the OT. Now that he has ironicly become what hated the most, a hugh controlling business, in all aspects of the film industry it has effected his movies as well. Do you think the story told by TPM would have the effect on the crowds of the late 70's as they did in ANH?
