Sorry wrong! I was around for the original releases and for many years had the mags that covered the first film, where George talks about his overall vision. Lucas had already written the plot arc for pretty much the whole story for parts 4 to 6 before the first film was even in production. His problem was 1 costs and 2 virtually every studio said no. The only way he could get a deal was to drastically scale back part 4 to a streamlined story where the costs would be low "ish" and he could "hope" to achieve the effects he wanted. Ladd Jr at Fox liked the script and gave the greenlight. If the film flopped then its a fairly rounded film with an end, but it was always planned by Lucas to have at least a sequel to continue Skywalkers story if the film made any money.

Just watching the documentary about Dave Prowse on Netflix (I am your father) and in it Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz states that the first film was shot as a stand alone film. They never expected a second.

So when the film was a huge success, obviously Fox wanted more. To me that's an afterthought.....

They didn't think they were getting a second one, but Lucas's original vision was for more and had written more. There are many plot points unresoved in it, leaving room for more films, same as there were for John Wick, The Matrix etc. Creators hope for more but sometimes that does happen. George was lucky it was a huge success and got the chance to continue. The relevance of what a director thinks before a film comes out or during promotion for a first film is of absolute importance to me

I think when most people have an idea for a film they think of sequels just incase

Don’t want to end up doing an I am Legend where you close the film off, it’s a huge success and you can’t come up with a good idea anymore.

They do now, yes.

But you must remember in '77 when Star Wars came out it revolutionised Cinema, merchandising, sequels, plot twists etc..... afterwards with Empire and Jedi.

Nobody had even really thought about doing that before. I'm struggling to even think of another 'trilogy' in world cinema before Star Wars came along. I dunno, maybe The Godfather was around the same time?

I Am Legend was based on a novel. Again, where the author did not plan on expanding on a sequel.......

Let's face it George Lucas said a lot of BS after the unexpected success of Star Wars.

Not too much impressed by the full slip judging by the pictures that showed up... hopefully the finish looks better in hand...

There are a quite a films that had a trilogy of films made before Star Wars
The main one was Planet of the Apes series
It was also the first film series to cash in on merchandising products on a big scale etc before Star Wars and it was a big success made a lot of money
Fox made a huge mistake letting Lucas have the merchandising rights and was surprising considering Fox already seen the amount of money that could be made with Planet of the Apes merchandising

As cool and all as that single lenti looks, it doesn't contain the 3 discs though which is a bummer.

That's what stopped me from going for it originally.

Doesn't look like there is any depth.

Very glad I went for the double lenti.
