To whom it may concern,

It has come to my attention that you are sceening Star Wars. However, you have listed the release as 1977. While the original version was released in 1977, George Lucas made extensive restorations to this version in 1997 and 2004, as wel; retitling it "A New Hope" in 1981. Moreover, the DVD releases indicate 2004 as the release date on their packaging. Unless you are showing the 1977 version, which of course Lucasfilm, despite intense criticism, will now allow, then then the date shold be changed to reflect this. Revisionist history of this magnitude should simply not be allowed.

Thank you for your time,
Michael O'Connor
