But it's just like when an elderly person becomes incapable of handling his own affairs, his responsibilities are taken from him. And George just doesn't seem capable of making those intelligent decisions he used to. Now he's like a painter who has finished his masterpiece. Twenty-thirty years later he discovers that new colors of paint have been created that weren't around when he painted his masterpiece. So, he just decides to bring his canvas back and start splotching new color all over the place just because he can, just because it's new. It's like in the immortal of Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park. "You guys were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you never stopped to think about whether or not you should." So just because he can do something, doesn't mean that he should do something.
and who are you to judge that lucas is no longer capable of doing what he wants to his movies. he knew all along that there where going to be more then the 3 that he made. as far as he is concerned the job wasnt done int he first place. his image was not complete. it would be a different story if ANH was ep 1 then in 97 he changed it to ep4 so that he could make the PT, the PT has always been in his mind, and if things need to be changed inorder to make everything if then they need to be changed. thats why if he wants he should be able to add scenes and make things look better.
Actually, Shimraa, that's not quite true. Lucas did not originally plan on making a prequel trilogy. He meant to make one movie, originally, "The Starwars." He dubbed it Episode IV, so it would be similar to walking in in the middle of one of those old science fiction serials that was divided into many different chapters. But "The Starwars" was too long to make into one movie, so he divided it into three parts, thus making it IV, V, and VI. Fox thought that saying Episode IV would be too confusing, though, so they made him remove it in the original theatrical premiere. It wasn't Episode IV because he had this idea to make three prequels before that. He had a backstory. Every writer has to have a backstory to explain to themselves how everything came to be in the story he/she is telling. It was a very basic story as well. Once Star Wars became popular, he decided to go and make his backstory into movies. Even George admits that the events in the new movies weren't fully formed. That's why he had to write the scripts for them in the late '90s. If it had always been six movies in his head, he wouldn't have needed to go back into his original films to change things to make his new movies fit. If he had just been holding the first half of the story back from us for over twenty years, there wouldn't be any continuity problems.
nun the less the story was there and i recall reading many interveiws with gorge stating that there were first going to be 12 then 9 movies. 3 trilogies he decide to start witht he middle trilogy because it had the most action in it. where as the first trilogy(PT) had alot of politics in them.
