  1. Supposed to be 9 anyway... by st0rmshad0w · · Score: 4, Informative

    There were supposed to be 9 chapters anyway, at least thats what the original intention was.

    I don't know when the idea got popularized that there were going to be only 6 movies.

    At this point tho, I think there are many who have a firm belief that there are only the original 3, and I for one can't blame them.

    I thought it was fairly well known that the inspiration for the AT-ATs are those giant cargo loaders in the Port of Oakland. Nothing to do with Tolkein (or even elephants) at all.

    Kershner kept rejecting scripts and script edits, and kept being professional and caring about his own ideas of the movie, rather than being a suck-up yes-man to Lucas. For RotJ, Lucas surrounded himself with yes-men, and barely managed to get a decent movie made.
