    “Scheduling”

    I’m always a little surprised that people go to such effort to create a meme, but can’t be bothered to check their spelling.

    Because George wrote a 3 act story which was too big and detailed to be crunched into a 1.5 hour film. So he chopped it up into 3 parts, and started with part 1.

    When Lucas was first making Star Wars, it originally had “Episode IV” in the title before he removed it and released the original without a number. He was worried it wasn’t going to do well financially.

      No, it was supposed to be a single movie, “Star Wars”, but due to the success of it they started working on further movies.

        No no, George totally had all nine films planned out in their entirety before they filmed Star Wars.

        Edit: /s

          I’ve heard this before, but I don’t really believe it. George doesn’t strike me as a “grand design” sort of guy. More like, this seems like a cool scene, add it!

            Oh yeah, I don’t believe it either. There are way too many inconsistencies between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy (and even within the original trilogy) for George to have planned the whole thing out ahead of time.

      Is this some particularly recommended or famous watching order?

        I can recommend the “Machete” order: 4 5 2 3 6 (omitting 1). The Machete order puts 2 and 3 between 5 and 6 to create a “flashback origin story” of sorts for Vader, and then concludes with 6.

          It also makes Anakin’s relationship with padme look much less horrible, though anakin is still a whiney kid.

          I wonder if there is an order plus fan edit that makes it look like the reason Ani turned Darth was because of Ashoka leaving the order?

          Like New Hope, Empire, select episodes of Clone Wars, edits of Clone Wars and Revenge to remove Padme (can anything from Ashoka series be inserted?), then RotJ.
