(I got sick of the Luca$h)

LOL, I love that. I too was wondering how much was pre-thought out before making the prequels. It doesn't seem like much. It seems "Laca$h" LOL, wants you to think he had it all laid out since he finished writing ANH. He claims that he wanted the episode number and title in the opening crawl of ANH for its initial release, but Fox studios wouldn't let him because he claims it would be too confusing for the audience. I'm not sure I buy that. I haven't heard much leaking as to what Lucas really had pre-written for the prequels while making the OT. It's obvious the "there is another" quote was compromised to Liea when Lucas decided to make it a trilogy and not a sexology? Lucas originally wanted the story to expand to another jedi in hiding that Luke would go looking for. When I first heard the title "Return of the Jedi" I thought it meant plural and that a couple or many Jedi were going to come back in fighting the empire in this move. But it turns out to just be Luke as the returning of the jedi and maybe Anakin? I think Lucas did have an earlier draft of the prequels than what he began to write in '94 that was far better than his more recent outline he called "the beginning." I really wish he would not have taken that long 13 maybe 14 year break between making ROTJ and TPM. I think the prequels would have turned out much better if he would have continued without the long break and just worked with what he had instead of waiting for technology to catch up with his ideas.
