Lucas famously make things up as he went, and retconned many things along the way.
Originally Luke’s sister was a yet to be introduced character, not Leia. The film titled “Star Wars” was retroactively changed to become Episode 4. Han Solo was frozen at the end of one of the films because he wasn’t sure if Harrison Ford would be back. They even changed the voice of Vader in post production, and the original actor found out when he watched the premiere. If you watch the prequels and original trilogy back to back there are glaring potholes. You can’t even officially get the original versions of the movies because Lucas doesn’t want them to be available.
Right, but George Lucas already knew the story and he’s the one that named him.
