Seems to me, George Lucas, originally, made the discussion to produce 
Star Wars (i.e. chapter 4 in his original nine part storyline), whoever 
was able to convince him, much, much later, that parts one through three 
were worthwhile .... THAT PERSON SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT THE BACK AND 
SHOT!!

If they went anywhere, after 4, 5 and 6, it should have been 7 then!!
