Isn't that at the very least -possible-?
It's like you guys think you know more about what goes on in Lucas' mind than he does.

From the interview posted today – he decided people wouldn't understand the numbering system
From the interview posted a few weeks ago – he stated it was the studio that forced him to drop the number from the title
At the very least - one of those is a lie. From everything printed, filmed, saved, and published pertaining to the film The Star Wars up to and including 1977 - it appears that both of them are.

The lack of -further- supporting evidence certainly doesn't disprove it.
Lucas was saying that both he and the studio had decided that it would confuse the audience to number them for the initial release.
I imagine it going a little something like this:
Lucas: I think we should subtitle this thing: Episode IV A New Hope...
Executive: Are you crazy? Nobody will understand that!
Lucas: You have a point. Note to self: destroy all evidence that I ever thought of this.

C3PX said: Gaffer is like that hot girl in high school that you think you have a chance with even though she is way out of your league because she is sweet and not a stuck up bitch who pretends you don’t exist… then one day you spot her making out with some skinny twerp, only on second glance you realize it is the goth girl who always sits in the back of class; at that moment it dawns on you why she is never seen hanging off the arm of any of the jocks… and you realize, damn, she really is unobtainable after all. Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

You know, now that I think about it, maybe Empire was originally going to be called "Blue Harvest", but Lucas managed to revise history at the last moment before it went to print.

Sorry troll, a quote saying it was his idea and a quote saying the studio forced him to do it are contradicting statements on his part - not pure speculation.

Poor job of trolling - Blue Harvest was Return Of The Jedi, not Empire Strikes Back. Please try to keep up, kid.

"You know, now that I think about it, maybe Empire was originally going to be called "Blue Harvest", but Lucas managed to revise history at the last moment before it went to print. "
You know, now that I think about it, "Blue Harvest" referred to ROTJ, not ESB. But again, many of your arguments show an extreme lack of knowledge about Star Wars and Lucas in general. Then again, ignorance provides much more ammunition when one makes it one's life goal to give Lucas the benefit of the doubt for every single fucking mistake.
What are supposed to be debates here are a religious conquest to you. You are the #1 Hari Krishna of Lucas.
Of course, yet another indication of your ignorance is not understanding the history of "Blue Harvest", which is to say it was used to keep fans of SW and ESB from encroaching on the filming of ROTJ.
So either you don't know the real motive of Lucas here, which puts your stance to utter shame (at least you are consistent), or you are deliberately throwing out a bullshit statement against those who slander your God, because you have nothing of substance left to offer - which, of course, is almost textbook troll behavior.
Either way, you lose.
I know that many naysayed me, including you , when I said many moons ago that your only reason for being here was to troll. As I expected, the honeymoon didn't last long, and people here have certainly wised up to your sly ways - much as TF.n did when they finally smartened up and gave you, yet again, a ban for the very same behavior, and a looooooooong one at this. Too bad these boards can't benefit from experience.
It's nice to be vindicated, but the reality is the vindication sucks for these boards. Stop attacking the non-believers, Go-mer. It only makes you look pathetic. You'll find no sanctuary here.
Some humorous quotes:
"The only difference between what I am speculating between the lines and what the rest of you are speculating between the lines is I give Lucas the benefit of the doubt."
"Speculating between the lines"? Don't you mean "between the quotes". Lucas is saying this shit, not us.
"While I hope to improve people's opinion of what Lucas did, I don't expect to be able to mind trick anyone into it. I'm no Jedi."
More of a Sith, and you are certainly at the wrong boards for this sort of thing, as you not only know so well, but is even proven by yet another quote. For those seeming to defend Go-mer's posting here, see my .sig. This is what he really thinks of you.

I know you don't like me very much, I was just hoping one of you guys would actually produce the "other" Lucas quote that some of you claim contradicts the one Lucas quote presented here so far.
If you want, you can derail this thread into yet another witch trial, but it's a pretty transaprant attempt to avoid adressing my request for proof that Lucas is lying here.

Exactly. This is all you do at these boards.
"Either way it was meant to sound asinine, so I don't see the problem."
Believe me, there's no problem with you sounding asinine.
"If you want, you can derail..."
LOL. You're one to talk.
"but it's a pretty transaprant attempt to avoid adressing my request for proof that Lucas is lying here."
No, it's a pretty transparent attempt to save what's left of these boards as a whole.

You are going to give Lucas every benefit of the doubt regardless, no matter what is given to you. This is your purpose. It is your life-long goal.
It is your religion, and you will not be shaken from it. You've been shown the scripts in another thread, and you naysay those. There's nothing you won't naysay for GL. So what, then, is the point, if you keep setting and jumping over ridiculous hurdles?

Is that so much to ask?
I didn't nay say the scripts, I merely said that all it proves is that Lucas didn't write down "Episode IV A New Hope" on any of them until 1979.
It doesn't prove Lucas hadn't thought of that before that point in time.
So what if i give Lucas the benefit of the doubt? I just personally don't feel right in accusing someone of something based soley on the cynical assumptions of his detractors.
