The original script went through many massive revisions initially where it seems very little besides the characters' names were agreed upon. With massive, possibly accidental success came the idea for sequels, but they weren't written by Lucas. He hired writers like Leigh Brackett to sculpt the story from the basic foundation. That's how you get deviations like the father/son thing. Many people give Lucas credit for Star Wars but he wasn't the genius behind it. He had money, yes, and was integral. But not the reason it worked | |

Title is too vague to be of any meaning to the community. Edited it to be less ambiguous, and removed spoiler tags since it doesn't make sense to hide Luke's parentage anymore (which is already public knowledge in universal popular culture for decades anyway)

| Feb 6, 2016 at 13:31 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | @AncientSwordRage - Your double negative is a little confusing, are you saying this question is answered by the other one? If so, it seems to me that those answers only give us the info that Vader wasn't originally planned as as Luke's father, but don't address any other specifics of what Lucas might have had in mind for the sequels, which is what this question is asking about. | |
| Feb 6, 2016 at 10:25 | comment | added | AncientSwordRage♦ | Based on the answers in "Out of Universe, was Vader always planned to be Luke's father?" it doesn't look like this question is answered by it. | |
