If it was originally supposed to be a trilogy...then why not? Where is the foreshadowing? Where is the Episode IV in 1977? The moive stands on its own... well. I love the the OT don't get me wrong, but it was made a trilogy because the money was there, not because the money allowed him to make his original evidence. He may say that, but most of what he says is lies. Just like now if those movies of the OT were his original vision than why is it getting changed to meet the PT? It keeps changing. Its money, power, and self-importance. Period.
