I haven't read or heard most of what you guys have (I was just to young at the time), but I remember reading or hearing about him trying to figure out what would make Luke react a certain way in ROTJ. He couldn't figure out what would make him come out of the shadows and attack Vader. Then it hit him. Make Leia his sister. So even that idea didn't come around until he wrote ROTJ.

I'm with most of you though. I got so tired of hearing him say "The story was always written and this is always the way it was suppose to be". Bullshit. If that's true, he would've cast someone young for the Anakin reveal and they would've had Greedo shoot first when they were originally filming the scene. As it is, they had 3 different people playing Darth Vader. There's no reason they couldn't have added a fourth.

I'm on the fence about the OOT DVD now. They do look good, but I'm waiting for more reviews and comparisons to fan made ones before I make a final decision.
