3. Episode 8 Plot Summary http://www.supershadow.com/starwars/episode8/plot.html

4. Episode 9 Plot Summary http://www.supershadow.com/starwars/episode9/plot.html -> This is the true end of the series because Luke, his son Ben and his nephew Anakin destroy the Dark Side of the Force. What is really cool is that Luke has mastered the Force to the point where he can get absorbed by the Force, vanish and reappear behind the enemy.

Lucas is a genious - this is a great example of planning and strategic thinking. He has enough material to keep his family wealthy for several generations.
