ANH has one of the heroes in critical condition (R2), one of the long time heroes killed (Obi-Wan), the main villain (Empire) is still at large (just check ESB for evidence) and coming after the good guys (again, ESB shows this), and one of the heroes does go to seek help that will benefit the good fight but instead of it being shoehorned in at the end of the first film it comes in the second.

R2 was fine and in fact looked like new. Ben was someone we’d only known an hour, not 40 years/three films, and The Empire had been defeated. As far as “ESB shows this” and “check ESB for evidence” ; In 1977 there was no second story, no second film planned, and no untold story in the only film. What was years-later written and filmed was not part of the 1977 film, nor was it on the screen at the end of the only film.

Your comment was that Star Wars and TFA ended the same. They did not. Using a film that was written, shot, and released years later doesn’t apply to your statement because none of that existed in Star Wars. Empire is not on the screen at the end of Star Wars, nor is it implied in 1977.
