I too didn't notice any missing scenes in CBS's Star Wars. However, I did notice the extra titles "episode ??" and "A New Hope" (sorry, I should know which episode (IV??), but I'd rather not get it wrong). Anyway, those were not in the prints that I saw in theaters. Chris Scussel Bell Labs Naperville, Illinois

I thought that they had left out some of the captions in the
bar scene. It appears they left in only the captions of the
individual that Han Solo blew away. Is my memory right on
this?

I don't recall seeing "Episode IV: A New Hope" at the original release of Star Wars, but I have definitely seen it at theaters during later releases. It also appears on the videotape I have seen, and on HBO. They must have stuck it on when they decided to make "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back." I think the CBS showing was fully intact, however, I found all the little speeches by CBS "personalities" about their reactions and memories of Star Wars rather annoying and distracting. I mean, who cares what Kate Jackson or Valerie Bertinelli thought about the movie, or about anything at all, for that matter?

The Star Wars we saw on CBS was exactly the reissued version from 20th Century. Nothing was left out and nothing was added. The title was changed for the re-release of Star Wars since the other versions were on hand and it was clear this was no longer a one shot deal. So in the re-release the orginal 70 mm version was updated to the new title. By the way the CBS version was the updated original 70mm as it lacked the changed lines of Aunt Beru, the added line for C3P0,lacked the better synchronized sound effects, used single sideband communications for the death star battle etc. etc. as previously discussed.
