Of course you dont care, specially with the terrible Harry Potter example
(Harry Potter gets 90% of screentime, Luke barely makes a third in ep V-VI) because its exactly whats wrong with "Its ALL ABOUT LUKE", Ep IV was about Luke, with ep V and VI it became about the whole group, with I-II it became about Vader. Again-
Luke is basically a walkthough ste-by-step the of monomyth model for the kids, but ep V and VI pushed forth Leia, Han Solo and Vader, who had rather complex relations and history that ran away from the traditional hero model (smuggler who wants to get money + girl, rincess who doesnt need to be rescued and instead fights, evil lord who betrays his master and redeems himslelf), so its as idiotic to say that the trilogy is all about Luke just because SWIV was about him, just as it is to say that he as better development than Vader, or that screen time decides what makes one a protagonist.
Star Wars isnt a monomyth, but a story in which a monomyth, along with other classic mythology stories patterns, are told. Ep IV, and only ep IV, was all about Luke.
For dummies, one could say ep 4 was like The Hobbit, the whole story follows just Bilbo, with the odd chapter talking about other characters-
But by ep V-VI it turned into this, many main characters, a fleshed out world, and equal screentime for the main characters including Frodo-
But hey, ITS ALL ABOUT FRODO! Because the Hobbit was all about Bilbo.[

Again, i'm not arguing that Han, Leia and Vader didn't have their own stories told in the OT, but that the movie was clearly structured with Luke's story as the main one, and not Vader's as you claimed.
Newsflash. Its 2009. I-III were made, ep V-VI, so the original trilogy just became another movie with many protagonists at V-VI, and just a chapter of the Vader story with I-III.
Luke now is just another Obi-Wan, who carries Vader´s story along.
Oh for crying out loud... you actually believe him that he had 9 films planned from the start... even after all those links to the original drafts that where clearly about the rebellion against the empire and a young guy becoming a bad ass Jedi like his dad (who was still alive in the beginning of the story).
Who Lucas decided to kill and put in a previous movie?
"For crying out loud", who will I believe, the creator, who in interviews said over and over he wanted 9 films, but then gave Timothy Zahn the right to do post-film canon stories, who kept "epIV" in the first Star Wars, and who for decades prohibited any extented Universe story about Vader´s past as he still wanted to film it, or you?
Cmon, the creator (plus shitloads of interviews, the Extended Universe gidelines created in the late 70´s), or a trol who has now taken to adhominems? I´ll take George Lucas, thank you.
Yep, like I said, there will come the adhominem from the fanboy.
Really L3an, let it go, you pathetic attempt at ad-hominems after trying to tell us that Star Wars is what you want it to be, not what Lucas has said for decades, makes you look like a pathetic anonymous troll in Luke Skywalker Jammies who writes Luke fanfiction. See how nice it is when someone else uses ad hominems and attacks you instead of the arguement?
[/COLOR]
is it just me or is JCM getting gentler in his old age?
Nah, he was burying himself.. I mean-
-Screentime?
-Luke has more development?
-Ep IV was all a monomyth, so that means ep V-VI must only be about Luke?
-That George Lucas, after naming it ep IV, prohibiting writers from touching Vader´s past for 3 decades because he wanted to do it, is wrong and for some reason, because Lian says so, it must be all about Luke, even through epV-VI changed it to about the group, and EpI-III turned the original trilogy into a continuation of Vader´s story?
But now that he´s shown his true colors and taken to ad-hominems, well, I might as well have fun with the troll, who by the might of the Luke Jammies, will reply, as Troll depend on that.
Awaiting life-support post in 3... 2.... 1...
after your screen time and intention arguements failed, maybe you can try and argue its about Leia or something.
