George Lucas originally had a vgaue idea for a story. That original
vague idea has long since been hugely altered and now bears very little
resemblance to the original. In fact a synopsis available online,
reportedly by George Lucas, from 1973, is VERY VERY different to the
final story we see.
Later, as he created a more fleshed out, but still vague, outline of
the story. A still vague story that MIGHT become nine (or even 12)
movies, but during the process of writing the story more fully that
idea was also changed, many times, and the Saga is now only 6 movies.
The ideas for the now mythical "Third Trilogy" have long since been
altered and squashed during the writing of Episodes V and VI. The
"Third Trilogy" was going to be about Luke going off to find his sister
(not Leia) and then the two of them defeating the Emperor.
