Celebration IV

Anyone here lucky enough to be heading over to it this summer? Its the 30th anniversary of SW this year, so it should be a good one! I personally love the poster they created for the event. One of my favourite scenes in A New Hope - The Binary Sunset

Can't believe no one has mentioned the 30th anniversary here,
Last friday 25th may 2007, 30 years !! i wasn't even alive then but I watched
ep 4 on friday anyway to mark the occasion, just a quick question
I think i have asked this before but was it always ep4 ? or back in '77 was it Ep1
as he had no prequels planned ??

let me know...

Mitch Connor

Yes, always Ep 4.

Apparently all six were written together, and they filmed the 4th one first....presume its because of jar jar....:p

Originally it was just "A New Hope" with no references to episodes I believe.

EDIT: I'm wrong it would seem.. there wasn't even a reference to "A New Hope" the first time around.

ok so when EMPIRE STRIKES BACK came out it was ep V , not II ??

afaik that was down to 20th century fox not wanting "chapters" or sub-titles for each movie at the beginning. then the second movie came along, and the rest is history...

(also, liking the new avatar monkeyfudge...)

Empire Strikes Back was the first film to feature an episode number, which was 5. A New Hope was re-released the following year as Episode 4.

(And yes... I'm happy with my Hobo Mojo Jojo avatar too)

Im old enough to have seen this in the cinema when it came out , it was always episode IV , its in the text that floats up on the screen at the start , the first words are " episode IV ...a new hope " and they have always been there , not just added recently ,

I have the original on VHS too ...bit crackly these days though ,

That's the re-release that came out in the cinemas in 1981. I don't think the original 1977 version was ever released on VHS.
