you were starving to know what happened next but not because anything was left mysterious or unexplained when the credits rolled

Responses:

As was said here, no way did Lucas know for sure there would be another movie. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 12:58
But said everyone leaving The Empire Strikes Back which most people see as the best of the series. There was no certainty there would be a sequel - pmb Dec 21, 12:58 11
- there was in Lucas's mind - humbug Dec 21, 12:59 10
  - you just can't compare this to what Lucas did in 77, it is really apples and oranges. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:00 9
    - either you're trying to make the best possible movie you can at the time or you just say "eh, good enough for Disney" - humbug Dec 21, 13:02 7
      - You can post that with a straight face? - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 13:08
      - and I do not even totally disagree with some of your critiques of it. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:08
      - it is different when you know you have 3 movies to make, or if you would like to make 3, but have to get buy in on 1 first. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:05 4
        
        Yep. Every Star Wars fan now expects Star Wars movies from now until long after they are dead. - who's scruffy-looking? Dec 21, 13:11
        
        Respectfully, I disagree -- nm - humbug Dec 21, 13:08 2
        
        every trilogy ever made leaves questions unanswered. - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 13:11 1
        
        Clearly, we need to read one of pixie's trilogies. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 13:16
    - Of course it is apples and oranges to pixie. The Holy Trilogy is good, everything else is bad. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 13:01
sure, because at the time it was a huge gamble that anyone would go see it - Groindo (Green lives matter) Dec 21, 12:54
