The original was titled #4...
BUT originally is was just STAR WARS. After it was succesful he renamed it A New Hope and added the "Episode 4" part.
Lucas' story hasn't been solid over the years, but I think he really has has everything VAGUELY planned out. He was gunna make a movie, it was too big, he decided to do the second half, it was too big, he decided to just do part of it. This ended up being Star Wars. When it did good, he decided to do the rest, and made plans to do a total of nine movies. Then he took a hiatus after making the first three... and then decided to only do six.
So I bet the last three were never really planned.
