With each main character getting their own movie before coming together for the big finale?
So you would have a Luke movie, a Han Solo movie (which could have been awesome), a Leah movie, and a Vader movie before them all coming together in lets say Return of the Jedi?

It wouldn't have worked. The characters of Star Wars work best when they have each other to play off of.

If that Han Solo movie is Him flying around with Chewie and Lando, drinking beer and nailing chicks... I'm sold.

They made books like that, if nothing else.

Considering that the first Star Wars was so blatantly a stand alone movie first ( I don't care what Lucas says now, Ep. IV was pretty obviously a one shot deal before it became a phenomenon), I don't think that woulda worked.
George didn't have all the characters plotted out to any sort of degree to sustain their own films back then.

Though I suppose it would be better than the Ben Kenobi movie which would be him sitting in a cave for 2 hours |

Funny enough, that's what Lucas was thinking of doing after Star Wars came out, with a bunch of movies set in the universe following different characters. It wasn't until the shifting tone of ESB's story and the disastrous nature of its production that changed his mind.

Watch as Ben Kenobi follows a teenage boy around a deslote planet, only to quickly run off to his cave as to not be seen by anyone. Marvel as he makes things move with his mind. Be in awe as he stands in the middle of nowhere talking to Sand People. |

Maybe just a mental phone call. " Wondering am I How things are by you Obi-wan?" "Hot. It is Tatooine after all." "Complain you not. Living in a swamp am I." This summer- 'Grumpy Old Jedi' |

Han Solo movie before Return of the Jedi would be very boring. 2 hours of staring at him frozen in carbonite.

I could see a Luke film dealing with him leaving Tatooine, joining the Imperial Academy (I believe Han was there until he quit it), seeing the "light" and then escaping to join the Rebels. Or he is found out to be a Jedi, he escapes, has adventures, then at the end of the film joins the rebels. Not the greatest idea ever, but I could see that kind of working.
A bit off-topic: there was an interview recently with Rick McCallum and he was talking about the live-action SW show. He said it was "very adult" in content.
So we get the original trilogy, then the prequels that were dumbed down since the movies were all meant for kids anyways (uh-huh), now we may eventually get an adult SW story? Lucas really does like going all over the map.

Make it like Forrest Gump, except a dude frozen in a block of Carbonite, Han's frozen wacky adventures, showing up in a buncha historically relevant Imperial history via being carted around by Boba. |
