Thats exactly what he's done with the prequels.

The original movie follows a very classic myth archetype. It's a "story of the quest." There was no story in "episode 1." I didn't even bother with 2.
Allow me to play devil's advocate, as I've wondered about this. Way back in the day, Lucas made a comment in an interview that he could stretch the story into 9 movies. Some hardcore fans took this to mean he actually planned on making 9 movies, which he later denies. However, fans still demand that Lucas make more movies to "flesh out" the story. Since the background for the trilogy is already mostly in place it would be too easy to just put the story on film. There is no "story" because all GL has to do is film the rise of the emperor and the fall of Anakin. They're not meant to be a stand-alone trilogy like the first one, just a supporting prologue (stretched into 6+ hours). What an easy way to net $400 million a movie!

I disagree - Luke never met his younger father, just the old bald dying one... i think i can hear Luke say "Hi Yoda, Hi Obi-Wan, and who the heck is that other young guy?"

Screenshots are great.
Oh, by the way, watch this movie on a computer as well (or a really good High-Def TV. The clarity is amazing!)
