	For my few cents worth, I think G. Lucas wanted
	to make RotJ be a definite end to the SW series.
	With all the publicity he's received saying that
	he's tired of SW and wants to get control of his
	life again, etc., the most logical movie to make
	was RotJ.  It really left no questions unanswered
	from previous episodes, and raised nothing of
	significance to be explored later on.  I can even
	imagine that the movie's plot, pacing (editing),
	etc. were deliberately just a little less an improvement
	over ESB than ESB over SW.  In this way, there needn't
	be another SW "to top the last one", and everyone
	could feel that the SW saga ended conclusively at
	every level.
