Star Wars vs. A New Hope - Which do you say and why?
Time

It’s Star Wars. A giant leap in cinema, box office, special effects, and multiple oscars.

A New Hope sounds awful, a tacked on additional explanation, like the original flat narration in Blade Runner.

Should we all start calling it Citizen Kane: Mystery of the Snowglobe? The Godfather: Family is Everything? Jurassic Park: Life Finds a Way? Avatar: Blue Man Planet?

We don’t belittle other movies with a watered down subtitle, why would we do this for the best movie ever made?

I’m in big feelings mode, apologies for stomping into the room like that.

Omigosh, this is the motherlode of sensible improvements! Thank you HAL9000 for opening the pod bay doors! I actually went and grabbed everything Star Wars, and I’m glad I did. I like your judgment calls, to go light on some films, and heavy on the one. I’m especially surprised at what an improvement your cut of Rogue One has, since you largely fix the one issue I have with it - the janky CGI faces. But long story short, I’m just saying thank you. I can now watch these movies without cringing.
