The chemistry between Ford, Hammil, and Fisher helped a lot in this area as well. Also, the plot was good. About the endings to the Star Wars movies - no they didn't end exactly as expected. Are you going to tell me you expected Han Solo to shoot Vader's cover ships, sending him shooting off through space and giving Luke time to blow up the Death Star? Did you expect Vader to throw the Emporer off the ledge and come back from the dark side? When I first watched them I didn't. I also see you left out any mention of Empire Strikes Back which focued heavily on the characters and had an unexpected ending. In LOTR, did you expect Gollum to destroy the ring? Wouldn't you say the more conventional ending would involve the army of men overpowering the armies of Sauron? Instead it is shown they cannot defeat Sauron through fighting but need Frodo and co. to destroy the ring. That isn't expected.Yes, you expect the good guys to win in the end, but it's the execution and the details that determine how it is received.</blockquote>
