Really? I never noticed it wasn't named. Odd. But honestly that's a little conservatist considering this is a fan-editing thread not a OUT preservation thread. It always sat wrong with me and I think it decreases the enjoyability of the film, even for, or even particularly for casual viewers.
Dialouge that isn't for the benefit of the characters is meaningless exposition, which always draws attention to itself. I've always counted ANH as a wondrous film in the sense that it treats neither it's viewers nor it's characters like idiots. But this one line is... well out of line.
