          As someone who watched it as a kid when it first came out, you’re correct that the title of the first movie was “Star Wars”. Also neither of the next two movie had “Episode” in their titles originally. However adding the extra in later helps when discussing the timeline with someone who hasn’t grown up with the franchise. Title changes are the least of the remastered problems with these movies, and I think came from the same era of Lucas thinking he could CGI everything and make it better.

      Depends on when you watched it, I guess. Initially it was Star Wars, but he NEEDED us to know it was not the beginning of the story. I still call it Star Wars

      I just want an adult Star Wars for adults. Like get Lars Von Trier to do a miniseries.

        Andor was like this. The Imperials in the series feel genuinely threatening because they’re not delusional buffoons, they’re competent and have distinct goals.

        I doubt Disney will produce a lot more content like Andor - it’s a bit dark, and frankly won’t sell a lot of merch to families.

        I always thought Tarantino would have been great for Star Wars. He is such a movie nerd, I feel like he would get it.

          Tarantino almost made a Star Trek movie. And it was supposedly going to be a remake of Yesterday’s Enterprise. I still don’t know what to think about that.
