"Garbage. The original theater run did not say Ep.5. It was added later because it looked cool, part of a larger story, hinting at a bigger universe, then in the 90's came to planning the prequel."
You don't know what you're talking about. Here's a screenshot from a scan of an original 35mm theatrical film print (pre Special Edition):

The only one that didn't originally have an episode number subtitle was Star Wars (1977). "Episode IV" and "A New Hope" was added to it for its 1981 theatrical re-release, in order to make it conform to The Empire Strikes Back (1980), which had the episode number subtitle from day one.
"There was no 9 movie plan, or 6 movie plan at any time during the making of Star Wars 1977 or Empire Strikes Back 1983."
Again, you don't know what you're talking about. It was common knowledge among kids my age in the early 1980s that 9 movies were planned. George Lucas mentioned it in interviews back then. We also heard that Anakin Skywalker needed to wear the Darth Vader life support suit because he fell into molten lava in or around a volcano. Also, The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980, not 1983.
The rest of your post is comically ironic, considering that nothing you said in your entire post was correct.
