Did he intentionally release the episodes in that order, and with such a long gap inbetween, or was he writing the preqel after the first trilogy came out?
Thanks!

No, he started with "Episode 4," and hoped it would be successful, as I understand it. When it was, he got the greenlight to do 5 & 6. From interviews I've seen, Lucas said he wanted to do the prequels for a long time but didn't get the chance until a few years ago. He knew the main events he wanted to show (Anakin growing up, the love story with Padme, the way the Emperor manipulated everyone), but had to come up with side stories for each prequel (thus the spawn of Jar Jar).

I don't believe there will be a Star Wars featuring young Count Dooku. If there will be anymore it will be the trilogy that follows episodes 4-6. George Lucas had episodes 1-9 in mind from the start, but chose to do the middle three first, I heard a rumor it was because he didn't have the adequate technology to do episodes 1-3 justice, but that could be untrue.

There was no paper series of Star Wars until George Lucas created the films. The confusion about this stems from the fact that once the subsequent movies have now come out, fans and officials are calling the original movie "Star Wars: New Hope" so you may find sites that claim that is 'the book the series is based on' ... but its not. It simply refers to the original movie. After the success of the series, Lucas gave permissions to Bantam Books to begin producing the novels. There have also been several comics. Some of the books contain characters from the movies, and some introduce completely new characters never seen on screen. He had an idea on how it was to be but he did not have the scripts for 1,2 & 3 before starwars new hope

when he started he was going to write 9 parts
when the new hope came out it was to be number 4 , and then the others he then wrote were part 5 and part 6
He thouht it was to much so he did not do any movie for decades on star wars
Then he did the pre star wars/parts 1 -2 & 3
Now we want parts 7 - 8 & 9.
I am also hoping if he gets to nine that he then will do an pre part 1 to explain how the Jedi started. in the old republic
Yes he wrote the movies but not all the books
