As far SW goes, again it depends on episode 7, and that other film their making. Too many SW in a short period of time can make the franchise lose its novelty.
Funny that the two movies I'm most excited about here at this point are are Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy. Hopefully Batman V. Superman and Star Wars VII get me more pumped for those franchises.
...I think), Vader revealed that he was Luke's father which created more questions and changed the dynamic of the characters, and in the end Luke still escapes and was still "on the run." That is a hell of a cliffhanger...if there ever was one Not a conclusion at all.
That's EXACTLY that the film was about.
Nah, it's about Luke's training and his training wasn't complete until part 3. And even if it was about Vader capturing Luke, he still got away
Yes, the villain's plan was foiled, which tends to happen in satisfying adventure stories. But make no mistake, that was the villain's plan and all of the events of the film (probe droids, walker attack, asteroid chase, even the interruption of Luke's training due to the trap Vader set) were manipulated (usually directly) by that plan until finally Luke fell into the trap and he and Vader had it out. Luckily for him he was victorious in the fact that he survived and didn't get caught and Vader's plan failed.
Look, I know you want to school me on what my favorite film of all time was about, and it's cute, it really is but:
The problem is that you're looking at ESB as a single film/story, when it's just part 1 of a story, unlike the first film. It's a trilogy, sure and ESB is part 2...but really, A New Hope was its own film and there was no need for ESB because of the way ANH ended, but ESB was designed differently and that story doesn't have conclusion at all, until ROTJ (although I wouldn't call ROTJ a satisfying film )
