haljordan28 said some things:
The plan for Star Wars III that you refer to was worked out between Lucas and Kurtz during the making of Empire (I'll refer to it as the Lucas/Kurtz outline). It was thrown out before any scripts were written, by Lucas or anyone else, as Lucas was dissatisfied with how Empire had turned out.
...
In fact, I'll wager that the initial draft of Star Wars and the initial draft of Empire are both more drastically different from their final films than the Lucas draft of Jedi is different from the finished film. (Hope that sentence makes sense.)
It's tough enough to keep of the real drafts of the scripts let alone some story conference ideas that never made it to paper.
Thanks Chainsaw! I ought to go back and reread Zombie's book.
