Say what you will about George Lucas but OMG he was so much better at everything. He at least had a crude understanding of what made 1930s Buck Rogers serials good.

He was also good at getting kids to love the franchise. Multiple generations of children fell in love with Star Wars so it didn't just belong to any one generation and it become somewhat timeless.
Now we have little kids growing up who just don't care about it. Because Disney media didn't make them care. Sad

It's infuriating. When I was a kid they taught us in high school English about how storytelling works by referring to Star Wars because it was assumed everyone knew it. I don't even know what common frame of reference kids would have now.
The first star wars was okay as a standalone movie, then george lucas decided to cash in and make it into a trilogy then prequels.
the more you elaborate, the less mystery there is and the worse the original is. imagination always better than reality except for my meemaw who continuous to astonish us all.
brevity is the sole of wit. the more u type something out the less interesting the thought becomes. that is why i always make my comments longer than they have to be because yall don't deserved to be entertained and intrigued. i savr my brilliance in briefness for people who matter like the beloved mr koala.
TL;DR: @ARE thinks being too verbose is "brilliant" while everyone else gets bored out of their minds. Newsflash, @ARE: nobody cares about your lengthy ramblings unless you're talking about koalas

Noooo he always planned it to be a trilogy. (Even though he didn't write the second one.) And it's called "A New Hope". It always has been. Just like we've always been at war with Eurasia.
God this whole narrative drives me crazy "actually his wife saved the movie" "star wars was saved in editing" "lucas has great imagination but poor actual skills" shut the frick UP he's said that the real filmmaking only starts after filming of course editing is gonna have a big impact. He was a revolutionary genius even before star wars not some random hack and even his prequel movies show this if you're not a dumb r-slur

He had some real genius but if you see what his wife did it was real. IIRC it was just rearranging the order of the scenes but it changed the movie into something that worked, not some neurodivergent nonsense that would have just been incomprehensible.
IIRC she switched around a couple scenes in the Death Star battle that were really important. But I can't remember so I don't know why I'm even bringing this up.

Didn't his wife keep most of his r-slurred ideas out of the movies though

What I heard is that she massively edited it and move around a lot of scenes, which hugely changed the plot. In a good way.

He literally said that he wanted a fricking "prequel trilogy" where the fricking prequels were fricking 10 years, and with an unknown plotline -

He didn't even have a fricking prequel trilogy. It's just the fricking first one and a fricking half were fricking released in 2014 and 2016.
I can't imagine how incredible the fricking rest of the fricking trilogy will be fricking without the fricking Disney guys working on it.

His wife was one of three editors on the film, and ultimately the editor works for the director anyway.
If I remember right, the big changes she made were suggested Ben Kenobi died and cutting the opening with Luke (which George didnt even want to film).
I can point you to a two hour video essay that proves my point if you'd like.
