I'd forgetten how much I got into that program until Tom Albrecht brought it up. Seems to me Vic Morrow was in it, too. Timely, in a way, because I think I had heard that Morrow had passed away some months ago.

A little while ago I posed these questions: > What was the first record ever played on Radio 1? > Who was the dj? > What frequency was used before 275/285? The anwers asre as follows: The first record played on Radio 1 was "Flowers In The Rain" by The Move. The dj was Tony Blackburn. The frequency used before 275/285 was 247 meters. Bit more info on the side: It was played at 7:00am on 1st of September 1968. ( I was listening at the time! ) I would like to thank all of you who sent me answers by mail. -- [ You called all the way from America - Joan Armatrading ] [ You're never alone with a rubber duck - Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ || From the keys of Richard Jeffreys ( British Citizen Overseas ) || || @ AT&T Bell Laboratories, Naperville, Illinois || ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ || General disclamer about anything and everything that I may have typed. || ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O.K. all you trivia buffs,
I'm sure everyone (or most everyone) has seen some or all of the
Star Wars trilogy. For those who have, we all know that the first
sequel was called, "The Empire Strikes Back" and the third sequel was
called, "Return of the Jedi".
Here's the question (if you already havn't guessed it)
What was the name of the original Star Wars movie. (Now don't go and
fire up the VCR; that's cheating...)
I stumbled onto the episode name quite by accident the other day. I
didn't even know that the orignial had a name, so I thought I'd see
if anyone else knew.

When it was first released they didn't know whether it would be successful enough to warrant a whole series of films, so he didn't include the episode name.

Is that true? I could swear I saw the title "Episode IV: A New Hope" at the beginning of the original SW. I remember being quite non- plused about this highly touted, state-of-the-art space opera starting off in the middle somewhere. I did not see the re-release, and I saw SW only once (which was once too often, but that's another story). -- *** *** JE MAINTIENDRAI ***** ***** ****** ****** 27 Dec 85 [7 Nivose An CXCIV] ken perlow ***** ***** (312)979-7753 ** ** ** ** ..ihnp4!iwsl8!ken *** ***

(Now don't go and > fire up the VCR; that's cheating...) Actually, the original name of the original Star Wars movie is STAR WARS. The "Part IV, A New Hope" crud was added when the second run came out. In addition, several other edits were made including one the "Close the Blast Doors" lines that real SW trivial nuts frequently cite. Other stupid trivia include the original name of the third movie "The Revenge of the Jedi" which was changed in mid-production becuase someone pointed out Yoda's line about revenge in the second movie, "A Jedi craves not these things." -Ron If so smart is Yoda, then why not a sentence with words in correct order can not he speak.

Let us put this to rest once and for all. I have personally checked with the Highest Authority (being the director of Lucasfilm's Star Wars Fan Club) and she confirms my recollection of the fact that the title "Episode IV: A New Hope" was added to the original "Star Wars" *after* the release of "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back". This article is kindly being forwarded by a friend at another site due to the fact that, for obscure reasons, my site is not yet allowed to post directly to the net.

I understand that the Star Trek Movie guys had some title trouble at about this time. The original title of "The Wrath of Khan" was to be "The Revenge of Khan" (which makes alot more sense). Then someone heard about Lucas' "'REVENGE' of the Jedi" and they changed it to "wrath". Then the Starwars guys changed THEIR title (for the reason mentioned above), and nobody got to use the word "revenge". A Wombat .:.

The sub-title "A New Hope" was not on the first release. However, I'm not sure, but didn't they re-release the movie just before "The Empire Strikes Back", and that was when they added the new sub-title????

At the time the first Star Wars movie was released (late 1976), I was living in a small town on the Oregon coast. At the time, Astoria (population 10,000) only had one movie theater. Consequently, it was usually a number of months until a movie got to town. Anyway, Star Wars finally appeared at the local theater in August/September of 1977 (it was right before I went off to college). The version that I saw at that time had the "A New Hope" header attached. The ANH heading must have been added in subsequent printings of the original movie, but long before it was re-released to coincide with The Empire Strikes Back release (1980). -- Walt Tucker Tektronix, Inc.
