No matter. Think back to 1977. You’re in the theater,

Then, the infamous credit scroll — rows of yellow letters drifting away into space. The words “Episode IV” appear. What on earth could that mean?

It means that you've attended a screening in 1981 instead of 1977.

-1, the title Episode IV - A New Hope did appear on the published script of the film in '79, film prints with the redone opening did first show up on the '81 re-release.

yeah,

i guess i never did see the episode 4 in the crawl then.

until it got put into the special editions...

the 79 re-release was a special showing with a preview

of empire.. but it didn't have it..

later
