>>8398778>replies to multiple people>is totally wrongGeorge went back and forth on things a lot. He had always hoped that prequels would get made. He went back and number star wars as part 4, with a 1-3 to happen. He didn't want to do it himself, and everyone he had worked with was dead, retired, divorced him, or sick of his shit. He tried to get different people to make prequels, like Ron Howard, but they all suggested it was his thing and he should do it.
At certain points, George wanted to honor the lore and backstory created. Everyone had heard anakin and obi-wan faught on a lava planet and that's how darth vader came to be. Geroge kept this and used it in episode 3. He didn't have to. George added the Outrider to the special edition. It was about consistency and canon and and if you look at changes his done, he cares about this. Killing off new vehicles and anything that touches a potential episode 7 or 1-3 before they got made...if they did?
