Star Wars original plans

This might be something interesting to talk about. You watch the documentaries and hear stories but they never tell you the full story, what was really George's true vission, that he keeps changing?
Was it originaly a 9 part saga or 12? Or did they just make it up as they were going?

As much as I love Star Wars I honestly don't want to know what Lucas originally planned. I'm convinced that the original trilogy is as great as it is because of the influences that came came from the studio, actors, producers, ect, who helped build upon the foundation that Lucas brought to the table.

We have seen what happens we get a trilogy that is solely based on George's vision, and we got the prequels. Giving us such amazing things as a plot driven by taxation of trade routes, Yoda jumping around like an idiot, and Jar Jar Binks.

Good idea for a topic. This is one of those things where we'll never know the real story because Lucas kept saying contradictory things.

Personally I don't think he had any idea of what story he wanted to tell outside the first movie. It was after that that he started expanding the Skywalker mythology. I know he changed his mind regarding Anakin Skywalker but I didn't know he just his mind about making Leia the sister.

Anyone read the Dark Horse comic The Star Wars based on Lucas's first draft?

Yeah and it wasn't really good, it had a few good ideas but no. They shouldn't just gone with his draft, they should have written a better dialouge and tightened the story. It has all the problems that the prequels, they are aimless, convoluted and very, very dry. It's interesting to see how much the story has changed though...

Seeing how the comic based on the original draft where Luke was Starkiller and not Skywalker, is a really bad story. I'm so glad we got the story in A New Hope, instead of... That.
