I thought Lucas originally wrote nine episodes, and the first one released in '77 was supposed to be episode III. Boy, is my memory terrible, or what?

I seem to remember that there was supposed to be 9 episodes, as well, that "Star Wars: A New Hope" was the 4th, Empire Strikes Back is 5th and Return of the Jedi was 6th. However, I also heard that it took so long to decide to go ahead and make Eps 1-3, that he just canned 7-9 totally.

I thought Lucas originally wrote nine episodes...The Star Wars saga was envisioned as 3 trilogies. The first movie was set at the beginning of the of the second trilogy. That trilogy finished with "Return of the Jedi".
We are now awaiting the last of the first trilogy. And it hasn't been good. As far as I'm concerned Lucas was captured by the PC and technology dark side. He's forgotten how to make fun movies.
Hope he stays far away from the third trilogy!

Lucas claims he had written a three-episode backstory to the Original Trilogy (Episodes IV, V, and VI). But by now, it should be painfully obvious that he did no such thing. The plot for Phantom Menace and Clone Wars was barely enough for 1 film, let alone 2. It seems to me that he only had enough of a backstory for 1 prequel. I'm hoping that all the story/action went into Episode III--I might even be able to forget the lackluster first two. We'll see.

It's definitely IV it says so during the story scroll at the beginning: Episode IV, A New Hope!
