If the book has to be read to understand the movie, then Lucas failed. Lucas has called himself a "visual storyteller", so it's preposterous to think that he left this little nugget in for the fans who read.

2001 did it. I supopse Kubrick failed? And with 2001, you are left guessing a whole hell of a lot of things that you decide on your own unless you read the book which flat out tells you what happens.
