anybody calling star wars "episode iv a new hope" in 1977 wasn't cool

Given that he would've had to be a psychic, I'd say he was pretty cool.

The 1980 sequel, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, featured the episode number and subtitle in the opening crawl. When the original film was re-released on April 10, 1981, Episode IV: A New Hope was added above the original opening crawl.

"The Force Awakens"? JJ Abrams? Let's just move on from this one already.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Thursday, 6 November 2014 18:02 (ten years ago) link
i'm going to give it a chance bc some non-lucas journeymen hacks directed a pair of excellent SW films, but the problem with abrams is he's a hack who thinks he's an auteur and has somehow been given the power of one.

i feel like we're missing an event between the jedi returning and the force awakening. specifically when the force went to bed after the jedi returned

like star wars vii should be "hey isn't that the dude from girls LOOK OUT" and then the force awakens in viii

APPARENTLY it will be called Episode VII in the opening crawl but that is NOT part of the official title
guess Disney are trying to get away from episode numbers due to infinite spinoffs

Spinoffs/standalones to be given things like "Episode 7.5: That Han Solo Jawn"
― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 6 November 2014 19:09 (ten years ago) link
It could have been almost any one of these titles and I would have been happier.

I watched one of them when it came on TV back in the 80s and it scared me too much to make it through. An Ewok gets killed or something? A scary monster? I don't know. I had been waiting to watch it for weeks but I couldn't hack.
