It's like Jaws, which is translated in French as The Teeth of the Sea. They could have called it "Les Machoirs" (literally the jaws) but it sounds incredibly stupid. It takes its literal meaning and people might think it's a film about dentistry or something. 

Les dents de la Mer is not bad. There one French title that I think is better than the original, it's Deer Hunter - Voyage au bout de l'Enfer (Journey to the End of Hell).

However there are some that are so bad they give away the plot: Shawshank Redemption is "Les Evadees" (the Escapees) or have nothing to do with the story: Carlito's Way is "l'Impasse" (Blind alley or Dead end).

When I watched the SE of Empire theatrically in '97, the projectionist screwed up at the beginning playing it horribly squished (not sure how multiplex film projectors work, but it was like they didn't put an anamorphic lens on), well through the Star Destroyer flying by and shooting out probe droids.  They stopped it, said they'd fix it, which they did, but didn't start the film over, and then refocused it on the fly while we're trying to watch the movie *shakes fist*...  Anyway, talk about what seemed like one heck of a weird SE change at first, LOL.

So yeah, perhaps they could show it theatrically a little different than how I remember it from '97...

Oh, and why would you even want them to release it theatrically, they'd just show the crap version we're trying to undo on this site...  But in THREE DEEEEE *whooooooooooooaaaaaaa*

Don't get me wrong I absolutely HATE the SE and I am very grateful of the work Harmy has done! But in 1997 we couldn't not have known what version Lucas was going to show us... like buying Findus meat and only after knowing that is was (in this case literally!) "horse-meat"! 3D : absolutely not but Special Edition... argh... I would consider...

The first time my family bought at VHS player was in 1993 I remember the first VHS we bought were Empire and Angel Heart. I was 9 and at the time they were so expensive: £17 (20 euros). I only saw Star Wars and Jedi in 1995.

I really wish that they would release the original trilogy in cinemas like they did in 1997...  Experiencing that first scene with the star destroyer in Star Wars is the reason these film are so great... the first 10 minutes of Dark Knight rises is really a pale comparison !

Just downloaded the trilogy, thank you so much Harmy.

I had almost forgotten how badass "bring my shuttle" was...

Star Wars without Darth Vader doesn't make sense. I am not familiar with Zahn's Expanded universe but the only way it could work is if Leia turns to the dark side, I do hope J.J Abrams and the screenwriters considers this. Luke would replace Obi wan and Yoda as Jedi trainer and Leia would join the Empire and kill Solo (that would please Harrison Ford I'm sure!). Unlike Anakin who self mutilated his body to join the Emperor, Leia would become a femme fatale using her body to turn the rebels to the dark side... she would be "a great asset" and the franchise could go porno...

These two quotes form Jedi would be the perfect prophecy...
"You have that power too, in time you'll use it as I have, the force is strong in my family: my father has it, I have it... my sister has it"
"If (Luke) will not turn to the dark side than perhaps (Leia) will"

Anyway hope they're preparing a good script...
