"I wrote a giant script. The original film was basically subtitled The Tragedy of Darth Vader. And in the beginning Darth Vader comes in and kills everybody and in the middle you found out that this kid is actually the son of Darth Vader, and in the end the son validates, vindicates and allows the father to be ahh…" an awkward pause, Lucas scratches his nose and continues.

It’s sad that even in an interview like that, he isn’t able to be sincere when describing the writing process of what is essentially a simple fantasy movie. Instead he needs to burp his programmed “Lucasfilm mythology.” The expression on Nolan’s face is basically “What the hell are you talking about.”

Much more sad is how completely fabricated that entire story is. Honestly, he seems mentally ill at times. That original script was nothing like that. Annikin and Vader are two different people and Luke is older than Vader. Vader is just a military general, not some disfigured & cloaked tragic central character. It’s bizarre that he thinks he can repeat that lie continually and it will somehow become reality. The scripts are all out there for anyone who wants to read them. He’s delusional.
