Ijust wish they had made the "rumoured" 7,8 and 9 with the original cast..the prequels..S-U-C-k
So how would that go? The Star Wars was over in episode 6 because the original story outline was condensed 7,8,and 9 of more battles into a episode 6. So do we have a new war in the stars for Episode 7? Originally, Lucas was planning to do the series in order but his story was too much detail in the characters development and to sell the SciFi at the box office needed to get into the heat of the war fast. That was episode 4. Can't use that cast for episodes 1,2 and 3 because some of the main cast wasn't even born yet! duh! Marketing decision forced the story to be told from the middle, but you can't have actors playing their parents in a multi generational story line. I'm glad Lucas figured all this out. Watching a movie scripted by you would be silly, goofy at best.
I think most people who are all confused by the Star Wars story are so because they have never watched the
story, in proper order one episode after the other, including Clone Wars. Either they watch
movies in the order they were released or they skip around. It's too bad such a wonderful story was screwed up by marketing and budgets and business decisions, but now we have the opportunity for really following the multigenerational story of the battle between The Jedi Light side and the dark side of the force through the central character, Anakin Skywalker.
