@theseantcollins Before there were any prequels (let alone sequels) to the original Trilogy, I'd imagined additional movies would make the story BIGGER. Like there are multiple "Force"es, or all the force comes from one guy. Victories in the original trilogy would enable the larger confrontation.
In Marathon Man, after the famous dental-torture scene, to make sure we're thinking of Dustin's tooth pain, there's a shot where the car, a Plymouth, is sitting with the "Ply" out of frame so it just says "mouth".
