WHEN CHIEF VILLAIN Darth Vadar managed to escape Luke Skywalker's Force-Ful onslaught in the closing minutes of Star Wars, you just knew that George Lucas was keeping the door open for a sequel. When Rocky ended with hero Sly Stallone losing a close one to the champ, you knew he'd come back itching for a rematch.
