erm, most respectfully beg to differ sweetie…way back when the [b]star wars[/b] hoopla was fresh, lucas explained that the idea was meant to be the middle portion of three separate trilogies…in other words, he started telling the story in the middle, and eventually would go back and tell the first part of the story in three films, then the last part in three films… [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] by the time [b]return of the jedi[/b] was released, however, he was tired and burned out and no longer wanted to pursue the rest…and don’t i wish i had copies of the original posters for the third film as [b]revenge of the jedi[/b]; those would be nice little pieces of history now…on another trivial note (and no, i am not enough of a [b]star wars[/b] fan to wage trivia wars with you guys, i just happen to have been fairly sentient when the first three were released [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] ) , francis ford coppola was so taken with the fanaticism surrounding [b]star wars[/b] that he was urging lucas to set up a church/cult around the whole idea of ‘the force’…coppola is always one to let his enthusiasms get the better of him [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
