If you're talking about "film buffs" or film students watching the OT in the future they're all going to know when they were released... they're going to be able to take a step back and realize that ANH was released in the 70's and it, along with many other movies from the 1970's had a huge impact... there are tons of great books and documentaries about that generation so I doubt ANH's impact will be lost because people watch TPM first. And if the subtitles being in the "wrong place" manages to ruin ANH for a group of film students in 2345, then wow...

Have any of you have ever read about Martin Scorsese and how he and his film buddies would sit in an apartment all day and night watching old foreign movies that they projected onto a white apartment wall? They'd cover their windows with blankets so the sunlight wouldn't ruin the projection and they'd watch movie after movie projected onto a friggin' wall..... meanwhile, people are worried about aspect ratios and sound mixes for kids 50 years from now... put things in perspective, folks.
