No, if I remember correctly, they specifically explain during the section on ANH that the studios felt that calling it Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope would confuse audiences, so they changed it. Correct me if I am wrong about the source. I thought it was Empire of Dreams. If not, I know I heard it elsewhere.

If that story is true, then what an idiot that fan must have been to chase down someone because you don't like their acting performance.

There could be several answers for this. Mine is because those who give the awards are mostly from the generation that grew up with, and hold a personal attachment to, the OT, and, you know the rest. Of course, someone elses opinion might be that the PT were just bad films judged by completely not biased people.

Movies, like any other form of art, should not be "judged". The problem is that they aren't looked at as a form of art. Hell, most movies aren't anymore, but just studio money grabs. But there are still a few true artists out there. I think Lucas considers himself an artist, but uses a different medium.

EXACTLY!

I'm referring to the fact that Lucasfilm was forced to change the title to fit the "standards" of 20th Century Fox. This is well explained in the Empire of Dreams documentary.

I've heard something, however, about a group who wish to change the law so that if you've been a US citizen for at least 25 years, you could run for president.

I'm afraid not. That's what the studio wanted to call it. The original title was and is Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, like it or not. As with all cases where the studio makes their own alterations, Lucas was simply able to restore what he wanted.

Just like the problem I have when someone calls ANH "Star Wars."

The only one I can see them touching would be the original Terminator film, with the stop motion terminator.

In a way, I believe Lucas has already made it not a mistake by having Jango do the same thing. Now, I suppose you could consider it a genetic trait.

I agree. I also agree with whoever dishes out the Golden Globe sthat Sith doesn't deserve any awards.

And I don't think they will change the stormtrooper hitting his head, since they intentionally put a reference to it in AOTC when Jango hits his on the Slave I.

Yes it does: So that people will buy both versions and the studios will make more $$$$.
