It was originally going to be 12 movies. Different year, different director. Kind of like those '30s sci fi serials, only in movie form. But Mr. Lucas got burned out, and changed it to nine after the Star Wars came out. Then it was changed to only six after Empire. It was determined that cinema technology wasn't good enough to make the other three movies, until the '90s. Then the prequel trilogy; planned from the beginning. Anyway, it would have been great. Different story, awesome everything. And a hunt for Luke's sister and an official canon reestablishment of the Jedi Order; none of this iffy, maybe so Expanded Universe smeg (though I generally do like the EU [not the European Union {too much Health and Safety and other Regulations &c.}]).
