| | | | (...) Well, I don't think "Menace" is all that bad of a title. It grew on me. And as for "A New Hope", that was added _years_ after the initial release. Star Wars was a mega-box office smash just as Star Wars. But yeah, it does sound a little lame. (...) (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

What I don't know is when excactly was the ANH title added. I remember watching Ep.4 where the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | (...) Hmmm, I don't ever remember seeing the intro text (yellow scroll) without the subtitle "Episode IV: A New Hope" (though I was VERY young when it was first released). I know for sure that just before tESB came out, I saw ANH again, and it (...) (25 years ago, 15-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | (...) All you have to do is look at all the old advertising material. It all says "Star Wars" period. Good question as to when. I saw it originally, and I remember seeing it again at a theatre for a special engagement. I don't recall if it was an (...) (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | I could remember very well that the original episode 4 was released with a bare and naked name of "Star Wars". Actually, I first saw the name "A New Hope" when during my first sessions through the net. When the revised trilogy came in, it was on the (...) (25 years ago, 16-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Yes, the original "title" (that is the poster title graphic) said only "Star Wars" (I don't think they changed this until (did they?) the SE versions. *BUT*, When the yellow text scrolls up, The earliest version I can find (an original (...)

I don't think you'll be able to find any of the material to check...by the (...) (25 years ago, 20-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

That little bit of info was released by Lucas without any PR fanfare at all, it just kind of plopped out as a reward to the movie (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)
