This is the end of Star Wars.
When Revenge of the Sith hit theaters, the sentiment was that this was the last Star Wars movie.
In numerous interviews about the creation of the first Star Wars, Lucas claimed he wanted to give the younger generation hope and a new kind of mythology.
LucasfilmSith was the Andor of its time; an edgier, darker Star Wars that, like the recently dropped Andor finale, only offered the existence of innocent infants as a ray of hope in what was otherwise a bleak, almost pathologically deterministic story.
Star Wars, of course, continued after this movie.
