The obscure movie for me was… Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. I still know every line of dialog from beginning to end any time I happen to see it on.

Say what you will about the prequels, at least they’re not the sequels.

Maybe not. I don’t think the prequels are good movies, but there’s no denying they’re some dumb fun that certainly appeals to a lot of people. The sequels don’t even have that going for them. I can’t imagine anyone being nostalgic about the return of Palpatine.

Ha. My dad’s copy of star wars was just star wars, no episode, no hope. I’m old.

I thought the “Episode IV” was always there? I’m talking the early 80s. I’m not exactly young either…

No, when Star Wars first came out in 1977 and the first home video releases (including the laserdisc transfer that was included with the 2006 DVD release as a bonus feature) it was just Star Wars.

Ahh yeah. Google tells me it wasn’t until a re-release in 1981 that it was rebranded as Episode IV. You learn something new every day!
