This article provides an interesting take on Star Wars as a ring composition. It claims that all the movies, including the prequels, interact in a way to weave a complex pattern. This pattern is marked by repetition across a border, like an image against a mirror. It compares the composition of the movies to that of of a song, with lyrics which repeat themselves, similar but different. The article is long and full of references and well worth a read, even if you didn't like the prequel trilogy.

...and if you watch The Wizard of Oz while playing Dark Side of the Moon it all syncs up.
Look at how the start of two of the movies are quite similar. Ooooh!
But also they are a bit different! Ahhhh!
Sometimes a bunch of space movies are just a bunch of space movies.

So he planned from the start that Jar Jar was only going to be a major feature of the first film and had nothing to do with the public reaction.
