I wonder what it means, and why it was changed. Compare the version that Nanner Split has (thankfully) quoted at the top of this thread compared to how it reads now. Doesn't make much sense to me why it was shortened and changed.

Yeah, must've stepped on Lucas's toes or something. I hope that's all it is, though. The pre-ANH title crawl would be awesome. I hope Lucasfilm doesn't short-change us yet again.
Can we mount some kind of StarWars.com forum campaign to make our voices heard? Doesn't look like the official site allows for direct email access to them, the dodgy bunch!
