My theory about the whole Star Wars "arc"...making it up as they went along.
“It was supposed to be a one-off space tribute to the old swashbuckler movies.”
Not really. Lucas had this entire 9 part series in mind. He even wanted to retarded cartoon characters.
Star Wars ended with Star Wars. It was supposed to be a one-off space tribute to the old swashbuckler movies.

I think you are right. I’ve heard that when Star Wars became such a huge hit movie, that George Lucas and his people had to come up with other story ideas. And that’s how other plot lines, such as Darth Vader being Luke’s father, came to be.
I also heard that they decided to make Luke and Leia brother and sister, so then she and Han Solo could have the romantic relationship, and nobody’s feelings would be hurt. After all, if Luke and Leia are siblings, no way she could end up with Luke.
I think we all know, if the original Star Wars movie had bombed, there never would have been any others, and thus there would have been no need for additional stories or back stories of characters.
No. It was originally scheduled to be 9 parts. Lucas sold about 60 copies of a book that had all 9 stories. Then it was pulled. He bought back most of them when Star Wars took off. Missed some. But, it was originally supposed to be 9.
