Wasn't that because he wanted the whole saga in a film, but unfortunately had to pare it down so that Star Wars was just one sixthe of the story?

In a sorta related note, I was re-reading an interview with GL in Rolling Stone back in April or May (just before ROTS), and he said (I'll have to get the full quote when I get home, but he said "Now the first trilogy is a tragedy, and the last three are just a goofy story." !!WTF

Also, I was watching a piece on the new movie, Zathura, and the little kid said that he thought the movie was "kinda like the original Star Wars, because it focuses more on the characters than the effects. Jon (the director) wanted to stay away from CG whenever possible."

Interesting.
