And he could have easily changed it if he wanted, but he didn't. If he actually changed the title to fit the overall Young Indy series, I would accept that. But simply changing thepackaging is not changing the name of the film.
But he has, in fact, now changed the title to 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark', episode 26 in the complate Indiana Jones Saga, if you take into account the most recent release of that movie. Seriously, he has changed it. Anyway, everyone's getting pissed at us for discussing this (even though this is how the thread has developed and sometimes you gota just accept that a thread has taken a new direction), so I'm gonna end this debate - it's called Star Wars. I think all this debate has really achieved is highlighting the stupidity and ridiculousness of retitling and reediting your fuilms to fit you current (or 'original') vision. It's bullshit and it detracts from the films by fueling stupid debates like this one. It is just so, so gay.It's just that I believe that a film should be called what the creator of it intends.
