What I'm trying to do with these sequels, in addition to telling a cohesive story, is to play with the expectations an audience might have of Star Wars. Certain OT story elements, character archetypes, famous one-liners, and even characters themselves show up in this trilogy but altered in some way.

My hope with in doing this is to ease the audience into the new iteration of Star Wars that I've concocted.

Let's just say the galaxy is heading in a different direction than the one implied by the ending of Return of the Jedi. But audiences generally don't react very well with being hit over the head by the clown hammer right out of the gate.

That's why the plot of Revenge of the Jedi is rooted in immediately-recognizable elements. Everybody knows who Han Solo is and everybody has seen the Millennium Falcon. It is my intention to use that to give Jeni's quest in this movie as much oomph as possible.

As the trilogy goes on, though, I will put in more and more pieces of what all of this is leading to until the big picture is finally clear. Sorry if I am being vague, but I don't want to spoil the fun for my audience. :)
