Neverar, that's actually reminiscent of the original plan for the ST circa 1980. Wasn't Luke gonna defeat the emperor and vader in VI and then go off and find the actual real big baddie in VII or am I remembering wrong?

I could be wrong about this, but at least one version of the original plan involved the sequel trilogy being about both Luke and Vader searching for Luke's sister, who wasn't actually planned to be Leia at the time, and trying to be the first to find her. In this version it would have taken more than three movies to take down the empire, and presumably the Emperor would have stuck around longer, too. That may have had something to do with the 12 part version of the Saga that Lucas was talking about early on, though.
