Return Of The Jedi: All their optimism for restoring the republic, Luke restoring the Jedi, Han and Leia starting a family. All made pointless by the crappy sequels.
Like the victories of WW1 all made pointless by WW2.
From what I've seen, the political landscape that precipitated the start of WWI didn't resolve when it ended. WWII was really just the continuation of WWI after a long pause.
And the original trilogy never resolved what happened to the thousands of empire controlled planets and fleets of ships. The rebellion just killed the emperor and death star, but there were still a lot of members of the empire still out there ruling planets.
Yeah, which is why I thought that the original ending to Return of the Jedi, which was just a local party with the Ewoks, was much better than the immediate galaxy wide celebration that Lucas insisted on adding in the re-release.
Agreed.
Damn, now if only we were talking about History instead of a fictional series about themes like sacrifice and character archetypes like "chosen ones."
