Don't even get me started on how badly George Lucas totally screwed the Star Wars saga into the ground with Eps. 1, 2, and 3. Now I'm started....Jar Jar Binks: I do not know what that man was thinking to put the lamest character in movie history in Ep. 1. My only joy about it is the rumor that he was on Alderaan when the Death Star blew it up in Ep. 4. Lucas contradicts himself constantly about the writing of the series. (Reference the special features documentary on the 3 disc DVD collection of the original movies). He said that he had the whole backstory laid out before Star Wars came out, yet when it did, it wasn't even entitled Episode 4 in the opening crawl. Admits in the same documentary that at the time of Star Wars original release, Vader wasn't written as Luke and Leia's father, and they weren't even written as brother and sister. In my opinion, he wrote Star Wars, it became a success, and decided to write it as the six story feature afterwards...he may have had an outline of the 3 story trilogy beforehand, but nothing concrete. He just patched things together after he hit the jackpot with the original. That's why there are many contradictions in the episodes now and again.
