Look, all evidence points to him constantly changing his mind. Yes, he’s said he wanted to do 9 films. There was also a time when he wanted to do 12. In 2005 he’d settled on 6 and hasn’t walked back on it since. Yes, he did propose Sequels to Disney, but only because they were gonna make them anyway.
All creatives and artists change their mind. Why is George so ridiculed for evolving and changing his stance and opinions from time to time about the story he wants to tell? I’ll never understand it.
He’s not ridiculed, and nobody cares that he changes his mind. People point out that these grand narratives he likes to spin about Star Wars, and that his fans seem to like to spin on their own independent of him, often contradict reality and each other. One of these being that he totally had this huge 6 part, 9 part, 12 part, or whatever the story is today part, story planned out all the way back in 1973.
In ANH Obi-Wan described Vader as having hunted down the Jedi, so your idea conflicts with that.
Neverar’s idea doesn’t contradict ANH any worse than the theatrical RotS already does.
I’d probably avoid the younglings altogether, though. Palpatine killing them feels really goofy, I’m just imagining him spinning all over the Jedi temple lol
