Check out the SE VHS cases from 1997, it doesn't say Episode IV: A New Hope, it just says Star Wars as the original movie. He didn't start putting Epsiode #'s to sell the movie until the PT, before it was Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. Now everything is Star Wars this, Star Wars that, except they forgot the original movie was called Star Wars.

Hold on a second. The film's title was officially changed on the opening crawl in 1981. PLUS, ESB and ROTJ were only advertised with their subtitles, they ALWAYS had their episode number in the opening crawl.
