That does bring up a question, aside from the head butting in the prequels getting cut in the UK, have the movies ever had censorship issues elsewhere in the world? I think Luke’s hand getting cut off in ESB was snipped in Norway or something.
I’m Norwegian and I’ve never seen any version of ESB without that shot. Then again, I wasn’t even born in 1980, but I’ve never heard anything about that either.
Apart from The Life of Brian, Norway never banned or censored anything during that period. At least not to my knowledge.
