According to Gayr Kurtz, after ANH, Star Wars was supposed to be like the James Bond movies or perhaps using a modern example the Harry Potter movies. Each movie was supposed to pick up on another adventure with our loveable heroes. That way maybe ten movies could be made about the original cast and maybe new characters. I think this wouldve been cool to see instead of what we got from Mr. Luas. What do you guys think?

That's more or less how Lucas told it as well, in the Rolling Stone interview right after STAR WARS. I don't know about the comparison with HARRY POTTER, since that has been a saga of some kind or other right from the start.

I for one would probbaly have preferred it had the STAR WARS films followed neither trend, and instead had followed the FLASH GORDON format: serialized fantasy tales with a comon villain or type of villain. The need for some sort of epic through-line, made up as he went along, is what killed STAR WARS. Well, that and George Lucas, of course. He also killed it.
