   Oh dear, here we go, the same old around and around the same circle   
   again.  :-(   
      
   I said he had a vague story (aka an outline) that might become nine or   
   12 movies. This *WAS* before making Episode IV. He decided to start in   
   the middle because it was likely to be a more marketable movie. During   
   the creative process of writing the movies, the story was changed and   
   is now only six episodes.
