I've noticed the description too, and I think it's a GOOD thing.

People should know they are NOT watching the original versions of the films. It infuriates me when they try to pass off Star Wars '97 as Star Wars '77.

AFI did some sort of a film festival a few years back, and they were showing a print of SW (1997, of course since GL was also scheduled to speak at the event) but it was listed in the online program as "1977". I sent them an email (as did several other people here, I think) and they ended up changing the listing, by removing "1977" as the year of release.
