I strongly disagree. I mean... it would feel very strange if the movie ended without resolving the principle conflict, that being the presence of a planet-destroying superweapon. The entire reason why Luke was pulled into his journey was to save the princess and help her complete her mission of bringing the Death Star plans to the rebels so that they could find a way to destroy or disable it. He completes the former, but if you end it after they flee the Death Star the latter is left entirely unresolved. Like... where in the movie would you even put the credits? There's no natural ending point after the Death Star escape. The gang fights off a whopping four TIE Fighters and has a quick cheer, but there's no denouement - from there we immediately cut to the Death Star and learn that the ship is being tracked, then Han, Luke, and Leia discuss their next moves, they land on Yavin and from there we transition immediately into the planning for the Death Star assault. In RotK, if you stop at any of the points I mentioned and stick the credits there, the movie would still "feel" complete; I can't say the same for ANH. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:961243773] in Best trilo...
