As far as can be gleaned  from all available sources its was just hashed out verbally between Lucas and Kurtz.

So the idea that he had the story already written for 9 films is just flat on its face bullshit if not a complete and utter lie.

In Lucas binder of scripts there is no outline for 1-3, or 7-9.

Prior to putting pencil to paper in nov 1 1994 there was no backstory for star wars except in Lucas mind.

 

His general idea for the prequels changed between 1983 to 1999-2005.

The bad mother and good mother idea vanished.  The love triangle vanished.

The slow seduction to evil of Anakin by the Emperor vanished.

Anakin being a good friend and great starpilot vanished.
