Wow, lot's of hate for the LOTR movies from a coupe people. A shame the movies didn't speak to them the way they spoke to others, but I'll say no more on the topic. That nonsense about Alec Guiness doing all his scenes for Empire and jedi during ANh though? Come on, get serious. Vader wasn't even decided to be Lukes father until a later draft of the ESB script. And Leia wasn't decided to be Luke's sister until during the writing of ROTJ. Don't swallow the whole 'I had it all planned out back in 75 with a script large enough to be 12 movies and a whole back story and character arcs and blah blah blah...' because that's just bull. Lucas made these movies by the seat of his pants, and it's only by virtue of having talented screenwriters, actors, crew, and directors that the OT became what it is. Lucas got lucky. He's a brilliant story man, not a brilliant writer.
