4. If YOU had to give this episode a title, what would it be?
I initially thought of this:
Star Wars Episode IV: Assault on the Death Star
but then decided it sounds too much like a board game.
The best I could come up with is Star Wars Episode IV: Awakening of the Force. Although the idea of A New Hope refers in part to the optimism the Rebellion gained with its victories, I believe Luke himself is the "New Hope". Therefore Awakening of the Force seems appropriate as it maintains the "big picture" view of things, and fits the back-and-forth which-side-is-winning theme of the titles.
