That movie was called "The Empire Strikes Back". The first movie was called "Star Wars". All other titles are retcons. http://images.moviepostershop.com/star-wars-movie-poster-1977-1020263832.jpg http://images.moviepostershop.com/the-empire-strikes-back-movie-poster-1980-1020189518.jpg "Episode V" my ass. |

Gareth Owen: > That movie was called "The Empire Strikes Back". Wrong. It was called "Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". > The first movie was called "Star Wars". Correct, which is why that answer scored 0. > http://images.moviepostershop.com/star-wars-movie-poster-1977-1020263832.jpg > http://images.moviepostershop.com/the-empire-strikes-back-movie-poster-1980-1020189518.jpg > "Episode V" my ass. Posters my ass. The real title is the one shown onscreen, which *did* have "Episode V". It came out about a year after the retcon-in-rerelease that added "Episode IV: A New Hope" to the title of the first movie. Anyway, your poster shows the title as "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back", or possibly vice versa, but not as what you said. And I did accept that answer for full points. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | I still remember the first time his reality check msb@vex.net | bounced. -- Darlene Richards My text in this article is in the public domain. |
| Gareth Owen <gwowen@gmail.com>: Jan 27 07:33AM >> "Episode V" my ass. > Posters my ass. The real title is the one shown onscreen, which *did* > have "Episode V". Well that makes no sense - the opening crawl doesn't say "Star Wars".... And if the title is what's shown onscreen, surely it should be called "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away". Anyway, its your quiz and you can be as idiotic as you like, but that's *especially* idiotic. > It came out about a year after the retcon-in-rerelease that added > "Episode IV: A New Hope" to the title of the first movie. No. It came out about a year *before* the "New Hope" was added (which was for the VHS release in 1981) |
