Yes, the Original Trilogy is Luke's story but looking at them numerically, it does in the end come back to Anakin. It is the Skywalker story with Anakin and Luke as the figure heads, with Anakin having a bit more emphasis once we get to the end of it all. I don't think Go-Mer stated that the Original Trilogy isn't about Luke Skywalker.

Jumpman, that is huge reason why I dont love the saga 1-6, and that has nothing to do with the quality of the films. I don't like that the saga is about Anakin now, it just doesn't grab me. Now Lucas has every right to write the story that way, and I have every right to reject it.
It would be like Zemeckis shooting Back to the Future prequels about the young life of Doc Brown, and then saying the Back to the Future saga 1-6 is about Doc Brown. I wouldn't like it, even though it wasn't filmed! I love the story of Marty McFly, and those films were written about him, and Doc Brown was just his cohort for 3 movies, trying to guide him back to 1985.
My point is that Lucas chose to make the story about Anakin, and that was a huge risk, cause some people just arent' interested in a character like that, some fans love to root for the good guy. I love Rocky more than Raging Bull, even though they are both classics, but Rocky is as Apple Pie as movies come.
