Was Empire the first movie to leave a major plot line unresolved, i.e. the Han Solo deal, because they knew they were making a 3rd movie and needed/wanted the cliff hanger? How dumb is that... making some kid wait a year to see what happens to the story.

Actually people had to wait 3 years because Empire came out in 1980 while Jedi came out in 1983. And I disagree with the poster who said Empire and Jedi weren't good. Empire strikes back is a great movie and Jedi is a very good movie as well.

3 years actually

 

And A New Hope had one plot line left unresolved - Darth Vader. Recall at the end Han destroys Vader's TIE escorts but Vader's TIE Advanced spins out of the trench and flys away after the destruction of the Death Star

I think that while it wasn't completely resolved it wasn't exactly a complete cliff hanger either. If you put you mind to it obviously Vader survived because had they wanted to kill him off then they would have just had Han Solo kill him off by blowing up the Tie Fighter. So while it wasn't really a resolved point it wasn't something you were left wondering what was going to happen.
