I edited it because you are right and it was a rhetorical question anyway. I’m already quite aware of the answer.

Guys… what do you think of this?

They just announced it. I mean, come on… that poster… Mike’s talkings with Disney… Could it really be true? With an announcement of the release of the whole trilogy next year to celebrate ANH?

PS: I’m too dumb to insert pictures in here… / *done, thanks to Dek… ^^

Where did you initially find this information?

I wouldn’t get too hyped. They screen the films every Celebration. Last year’s had the premiere of AOTC and ROTS in 3D.

Wouldn’t it make more sense to show another OT movie, if it’s the 3D version? Why TFA again?

And to be honest: I can’t imagine a more boring 3D Star Wars movie than ANH. I can only think of two or three amazing space sequences that would look good.

I’ll say this, it would be interesting for Disney/Fox to take Mike’s work, and show it at a big event like this as a trial to see how people react when it isn’t the SE… But I doubt that’s what’s going on.

one can hope but the fact that it says “a new hope” and not “Star Wars” may give some indication…

I agree… I feel that if this were it, it would read “Star Wars”…

Plus even if they go back to the original version they would probably keep the 1981 A New Hope, I doubt for marketing reasons they’re willing to abandon the ‘saga’.

I think the big takeaway here is the deliberate usage of the poster. Chewbaka is right. Every theatrical showing of STAR WARS since 1997 has used the rerelease poster in marketing materials and press packages. Plus one has to consider a certain upcoming landmark birthday year for the film.

The title is probably just a product of marketing/brand synergy/canonicity. STAR WARS has been A NEW HOPE for 35 years save for one afterthought DVD release in 2006.

It says “A New Hope”, not “Star Wars”. If they were screening the original movie it would say “Star Wars”.

No, not in the modern world of franchise marketing. Calling the first film “Star Wars” is not a thing Disney would do.

Yes, I would bet that for any official release of the original cut, it will have the Episode IV A New Hope crawl.

Except the most recent release of the original cut had no such crawl.

Suppose it would be funny if they played the GOUT DVD at this Celebration.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the GOUT so … it … could … be … possible 😉

Rogue One is redundant. Just play the first mission of DARK FORCES.
