Not necessarily. It could be lighter instead as a form of escapism
That's possible, but it also depends if he decides to end it there ala OTL or keep going, if the latter then he might stick with Luke going dark side and Han dying.
That wouldn’t be satisfying of an ending and would the cast be up for it?

Looking forward to the next chapter on India descending into chaos including the following:
1.) Spain
2.) France
3.) The Vatican: Pope John Paul II replacing JP I, who died in office after 1 month
4.) Brazil

Nope.
Clear history and this would be a one word informal notice.
After SEVEN actions there are no informals.
Kicked for a week.
Yeah, Lucas would also be conscious of his kid audience and not want to traumatize them. I suspect that even if he had gone on to Episode 7 right after the only part which might've happened is Han dying, since Harrison Ford was begging them to kill him off.
If Episode 6 goes to Kashyyyk, Han dying to save Chewie's family/home/planet might be a touching send off. Have the reason the Second Death Star is there be the right mix of reasources/potential slave labor and have a big ole slave uprising to go along with the space battle.
Perhaps Han could run out of missles/lazers/whatever they use, and be forced to fly the Millennium Falcon directly into the core of the Death Star to blow it up?

Big question is whether President Ford would host a filming session at the White House on 'Star Wars'?
It was a popular film of the day. I think he probably would.
Whoops!
Whoops!
"...it is highly unlikely that the forces within the Mosque have survived this long without food or water; we breach the building today, and when we enter we'll find only bodies and the emaciated..."
- Saudi intelligence assessment prior to entry of Grand Mosque
The Saudi forces that stormed the Grand Mosque had assumed, for whatever reason, that after the weeks and weeks of being stuck inside the building, and with hostages to feed too, that the Ikhwan would have withered almost entirely. They weren't necessarily wrong, but the stragglers within had more strength than perhaps the Saudis had expected. Saudi debriefs claimed that it was the Ikhwan who shot first inside the venerated halls; the Arab street strongly doubted that, and suddenly the Saudi royal family - which openly hobnobbed with Western leaders and had been gauche in its allowances for foreign influence counter to the conservative Wahhabi school of Sunnism practiced in the Kingdom - had added the desecration of the Grand Mosque with violence contra to the explicit commands of the ulama to its long list of sins.
King Khalid mostly handwaved off concerns of heavy-handedness and displayed more eagerness to return to his policy of reaping the 1970s oil windfall by using it for developing the Saudi state economy than actually address the sociocultural issues that had made so many ripe for radicalization in the first place. Protests erupted across the Arab world but particularly inside Saudi Arabia itself, where a fierce crackdown by the police and special forces - led by princes rival to Khalid - incited even fiercer reaction in turn; the "martyrs of the Mosque" became figures of admiration and inspiration to hundreds if not thousands among the booming ranks of young and bored men with a chip on their shoulder in the early 1980s Middle East...

@KingSweden24 Uh-oh on the situation in Saudi Arabia. What could possibly go wrong?
