If you remember the Indiana Jones: Desktop Adventures game that came out last year then you've pretty much got a good idea of what Yoda Stories is like.

JS> ok, first off, that is WRONG. JS> he didn't call it "A New Hope" until 1980. Close, it got the subtitle in 1979, for its second re-release.

You, sir, are very correct. A movie's title doesn't change, unless you count the foreign releases of films (eg. YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES becomes PYRAMID OF FEAR, AIRPLANE! becomes FLYING HIGH!, and *BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED becomes MIRACLE ON 8TH STREET). A title can be changed >before< release, as happened with JEDI (Revenge became RETURN). If STAR WARS was really called A NEW HOPE, then why do all the official sources call it STAR WARS? Why do all the Special Edition posters say STAR WARS in big, bold letters and not A NEW HOPE? If Lucas wanted the public to refer to Episode IV as A NEW HOPE there was nothing to stop him from promoting the film as such. I really don't think he wants that. --- Blue Wave/386 v2.20 * Origin: Juxtaposition BBS.

JS> seems like today's philosophy of Biggerbetterfastermore is taking over JS> even my beloved Star Wars.... I dunno, I really think the new version of JEDI is an improvement over the original. The new ending does the series more justice than the old "Yub-nub" song and dance did. The Sarlaac (Audrey 3) is better, the establishing shots of the sail barge re better, and that replacement for Lapti Nek isn't any worse than the original song. So, in this case I say the SE for JEDI is a better movie than the original. And John, I know many people who saw the movies in the original release (I'm one) that liked the SW:SE better than the orginal (I'm not one of those though). A person's taste is a very personal thing, if Taylor prefers the SE's to the originals, so be it. --- Blue Wave/386 v2.20 * Origin: Juxtaposition BBS.
