Thanks for the heads up. Here's my e-mail:

Hello, you've got on your website (http://www.afi.com/tvevents/40th//) a mention that you will be playing:

"Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977)"

This movie never existed. If you are intending to play "Star Wars: Episode IV..." then that would be the rerelease from 1981.

I sincerely hope you don't fraudulently advertise playing the 1977 "Star Wars" but actually play the 1997 Special Editions at your ceremony, that would be tragic.
