For a hot chick she did pretty good. I'm guessing the guy wanted just "Star Wars," but my mind immediately went to "Adventures of the Starkiller, Episode I: The Star Wars." =P

I wrote the 'Star Wars' person who was asking the questions:

Curious, did you attempt to inform her of this error and the producers turned off your mic or cut out your reply?

The film for the first several years of theater engagements did not have the Episode IV it was added for the 1981 re-release just after ESB.

He wrote back:

Yes, I'm fully aware that the original release was simply "Star Wars," and the "Episode IV" part was added later....

But for the purposes of this trivia contest, which was just supposed to be FUN, she was close enough :)

So being an annoying phuck-ass dork, I replied:

Well 'FUN' to you is misinformation to people like myself.  Although your case was 'light', the problem comes in conjunction with other productions with the Official Lucasfilm stamp of approval who make similar mistakes.

For instance the recent J.Rinzler 'Making of the Empire Strikes Back' book, for the first several pressing, the book had many Special Edition (SE) photos through out the book.  Rinzler acknowledged this was a mistake and future pressing will correct the error.

Another recent program which focused on the pioneering special effect achievements of the original Star Wars by ILM.  That would be model making, etc.  But they used SE shots which were done in the computer.

So although you see your case as harmless, it's part of a larger wave of misinformation which is modifying people's remembrances of history, even though hard facts exist which can refute.

Feel free to roll your eyes. 

There's a website about this phenomenon.

Good luck to you and your show, but try not to spread mis-truths.  And if you have someone saying they are a Star Wars expert and they get a question wrong, call them out.  You should e-mail her to let her know of her mistake.  If you want to be nerdy/geeky you can point out that the script used during filming had the title "Star Wars: The Adventures of Luke Starkiller" as taken from the "Journal of the Whills".  The novel had "Star Wars from the Adventures of Luke Skywalker".  But the movie from 1977 to 1981 was just 'Star Wars'.

Question: What was the full title of the original Star Wars.

Going to disagree, sure you can say the word 'original' just informs this question of which Star Wars movie to give the full title of.  And that 'was' just lets the person in question choose any title which occupied any time period of the past.  But if you provide the 'current' title of something to a question which asks for a past variation... But continuing on this dork asshat role I find myself in, I would have accepted Strategic Defense Initiative, since we're being all vague and shit.  All in good PHUN!  Heck i'll even except, Star Wars Episode I The Phantom Menace.  TPM is number one and that makes it origin of the Star Wars Saga, the story of Darth Vader.  /asshat

So i'm taking you see this kind of correspondence as something a tad over the top.
