On the contrary, there was definitely a plan for a sequel back in 1975 when it was 'Episode One: The Star Wars', to become 'Saga 1' in 1976, of 'The Adventures of Luke Starkiller'.
In 1978, TIME reported:
> Lucas has set up four corporations: Star Wars Corp. will make Star Wars II and the ten, count ’em, ten other planned sequels;
There are a few versions of the tale told by Lucas, ranging from 6 movies to 12 movies, but they have never involved a plan for just 1 movie. The 1980 Prevue interview, for example, talks of having to rewrite the then story into chapters, the first of which became the first movie.

@JdeBP @scalzi He may well of said those things. But those additional chapters never existed. He was doing what is now known as "Mystery Box" bait for sequels. There was no complete saga in mind.
