   He had a basic outline for 1-3 but it wasn't that concrete based on what I   
   read of the early drafts and such.   As to why it came first, look at the 2

   people.  Lets face it, even if Episode I had lived up to people   
   expectations, there just wasn't that much to grab you in the story, yet in   
   light of 4-6 it was a potentially interesting fill in to the story you   
   knew.
