What? No, I think I did. He was saying "there was never a sequel planned" but I've read the scripts and the making of books and nah, he was planning on making a sequel before making A New Hope. The 2nd draft from January 1975 even ends with a sequel hook for Episode Two at the end (pic related.)

Obviously you can tell it was gonna be a different sequel at this point but that's because the 2nd draft is like halfway there to being A New Hope and still quite different (there's no Obi-Wan or Princess Leia characters in it) he wouldn't have that until the 3rd draft. But we do know this early sequel was gonna feature the battle on the Wookiee planet (which ended up in Return of the Jedi only with Ewoks instead.)

Neat huh? I find the making of Star Wars stuff really fascinating. I swear Star Wars fans keep on making shit up about the production/writing of the movies based on their own feelings or headcannon or whatever but the truth is really well documented, I don't know why Star Wars fans keep making shit up and then get angry at their own false premises. It's very odd.
