Dico solo due parole:
Midi ChlorianOvvero, la Forza non è un 'prodotto mistico' ma una super-produzione di ATP da parte dei mitocondri.
Praticamente Aya Brea è un Jedi.
Episodio 3 l'ho saltato a piè pari quando mi è stato descritto come Starsky e Hutch + la scena della conversione al Lato Oscuro più veloce della storia. E anche recentemente, con i vari passaggi in televisione, ne ho visto solo alcuni frammenti.
Episodio 2 tutto sommato l'ho trovato ancora ancora godibile, con uno sviluppo politico estremamente complesso (poco 'adventure') ma tutto sommato accettabile.
Episodio 1 non è NIENTE, tra JarJar 'Pippo' Binks, gli 'Sgusci', l'inutile Amidala e Anakin che distrugge una 'proto' Death Star premendo tasti a caso (meglio di lui solo JarJar che distrugge zilioni di droidi
inciampando sulle bombe...)
La trilogia originale, vista oggi, sarà piena di incongruenze, banalità, duelli 'legnosi', gli inutili Ewoks e pupazzoni di gomma... ma almeno trasmetteva
qualcosa. Un messaggio. Banale, se vogliamo - la classica lotta del Bene contro il Male, con il personaggio 'shonen' sfigato di turno che contrasta forze soverchianti con la sua tenacia (ricordiamoci che la saga di Star Wars
non è fantascienza, è un fantasy ambientato nello spazio) - ma che faceva appassionare.
E se già nella stesura della sceneggiatura originale del '72 Lucas aveva pensato ai 'super-mitocondri' per spiegare la Forza... beh, almeno nella OT questa boiata ci era stata risparmiata (e la storia ne aveva guadagnato enormemente).
PS: che poi non sono nemmeno un appassionato della saga, quello che mi dà sui nervi è vedere qualcosa di buono (prodotto, a questo punto,
nonostante le idee dementi dello sceneggiatore originale) stravolto anni dopo solo per fare soldi.
Praticamente la storia del manga di Naruto
EDIT: da Wiki comunque si evince che Lucas aveva
un abbozzo di idea nel '72, e che la storia si sia in realtà sviluppata in stile 'sceneggiatura di LOST' via via col tempo...
CITAZIONE
Elements of the history of Star Wars are commonly disputed, as Lucas' statements about it have changed over time
(...)
Lucas began his creation process by taking small notes, inventing odd names and assigning them possible characterizations. Lucas would discard many of these by the time the final script was written, but he included several names and places in the final script or its sequels (such as Luke Skywalker and Han Solo). He revived others decades later when he wrote his prequel trilogy (such as Mace Windy, renamed Windu).
(...)
Lucas began writing a full script of his synopsis, which he would complete in May 1974. In this script he reintroduced the Jedi, which had been absent in his previous treatment, as well as their enemies, the Sith. He changed the protagonist, who had been a mature General in the treatment, to an adolescent boy, and he shifted the General into a supporting role as a member of a family of dwarfs. Lucas envisioned the Corellian smuggler, Han Solo, as a large, green-skinned monster with gills (this would turn out to be Greedo, whom Han would shoot in the Mos Eisley Cantina when we first meet his character). He based Chewbacca on his Alaskan Malamute dog, Indiana, (whom he would later use as namesake for his next hero Indiana Jones), who often acted as the director's "co-pilot" by sitting in the passenger seat of his car.

Lucas grew distracted by other projects, but he would return to complete a second draft of The Star Wars by January 1975; while still having some differences in the characters and relationships. For example, the protagonist Luke (Starkiller in this draft) had several brothers, as well as his father who appears in a minor role at the end of the film. The script became more of a fairy tale quest as opposed to the more grounded action-adventure of the previous versions. This version ended with another text crawl which previewed the next story in the series. This draft was also the first to introduce the concept of a Jedi turning to the dark side; a historical Jedi that became the first to ever fall to the dark side, and then trained the Sith to use it.
(...)
Lucas has often stated that the entire original trilogy was, in essence, intended as one film. However, he said that his story material for The Star Wars was too long for one film, so he opted to split the story into multiple films. He also stated the story evolved over time and that "There was never a script completed that had the entire story as it exists now [1983]... As the stories unfolded, I would take certain ideas and save them[...] I kept taking out all the good parts, and I just kept telling myself I would make other movies someday." Lucas's second draft is often cited as the script he is referring to in relation to this issue and in The Secret History of Star Wars, Michael Kaminski argues that this draft is structurally very similar to the final film in plot arrangement, although the only elements from it that were saved for the sequels were an asteroid field space chase (moved to The Empire Strikes Back) and a forest battle involving Wookiees (moved to Return of the Jedi, with Ewoks in place of Wookiees).
CITAZIONE
George Lucas began writing the new Star Wars trilogy on November 1, 1994. The screenplay for Star Wars was adapted from Lucas' 15-page outline that was written in 1976. The early outline was originally designed to help Lucas track the character backstories and what events had taken place before the original trilogy. While the working title for the film was The Beginning, Lucas later revealed the true title to be The Phantom Menace; a reference to Palpatine hiding his true identity as an evil Sith Lord behind the facade of a well-intentioned public servant.
