Hosp, Star Wars is a body of work spanning over 6 Chapters (actually 9 but we'll only see six of them in film) so thus/then "Star Wars" the COMPLETE "Star Wars" is NOT a trilogy. It is a SAGA.
So, comparisons between the SW Saga and the Matrix trilogy is lacking...me thinks.
Also, where did you read that the Matrix was done as a stand alone movie? From what I've read about it, the Wachowski Bros wrote a trilogy initially. Tey did know though that thier movie was a risk for the most part with no telling of how successful it would be hence, the hesitation at first to start right away on the entire trilogy. However, after witnessing the kind of critical acclaim and box office draw of the first act, it was a no-brainer. I will look for links supporting this.
Sloats, the Oracle doesn't want to press the "global reset button" because first of all, thats not within her power and secondly, she wishes to see man and machine peacefully co-exist. (as per her meeting with Neo on the playground bench)
