Did ANH signify the start, middle, or the tail end of the war?

Probably, in terms of actual combat, a little over 4 years. ANH is probably just after the first few battles.

It lasted about 21 years. The Rebellion was officially formed a year or two before ANH, and peace was declared with the Empire 15 years after ROTJ.

Unless WW2 lasted for 21 years, then no.

Everyone's saying that the Rebel Alliance was formed about 6 years before ROTJ. So in that case the war lasted that long.

You should try saying all this EU stuff to them on the Ep. III site! Eat you alive, they would!

You asked a question that the movies didn't answer. Why are you then complaining when an EU answer is given?

Let me put it this way: It'd be pretty foolish to think that the entire Imperial fleet was at Endor in RotJ.

Apparently there can be, because the war lasted for 15 more years.

Which is because of the various Imperial leaders who took charge in an attempt to avenge the Emperor.
You don't think those who worked so hard to get a high rank in the Empire would suddenly say "Oops, the Emperor died, oh well, we give up, go ahead and blow us to bits, Rebellion" and throw up the white flag, do you?

No offence, Bib, but GL implicitly made it totally clear that the war was over after The Battle of Endor.
I myself never really believed Lucas's ending to ROTJ, that the Empire was totally finished for, either. I can't remember the exact amount of ISDs, but they number in their hundreds of thousands! And in ROTJ, I only saw about 20 ISDs, if that. Besides, as Tarkin proved in ANH, there most certainly was other Imperial officers with the ambition to take Vader and Palpatine's place as leader of the Empire. But that still doesn't change the fact that Lucas wanted the Empire to be totally over by ROTJ, which would mean the end of the war.
By asking the question, I really wanted to know whether the movies covered the entire Galactic Civil War, or was it merely a large chunk, or even just the tail end of the war; just a few years at the end after, say 10 years of conflict.
