The reason the Star Wars movies were released 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3

Though later Lucas said he had an outline of 9 movies, and took the middle part to tell first. By outline I think he wrote “I should make 9 movies.” because there was very little in the prequels that had the same feel as the originals and the story of the prequels was way too disjointed and contrived.

Have you read any of the early scripts for “The Star Wars” that are floating around? They bore even less resemblance to the original trilogy as filmed than the prequels do.
