Have any of you ever seen the original *Star Wars* in recent release?
The epigraph is somewhat changed.  It now says:  "Episode IV:  A New Hope"
as a new title for the movie.

I imagine it has been like that for a long time now;  at least since it
made its first run on subscription television.  I imagine this is old hat
for many of you, but could someone explain why and how this was done?
Was it simply to make it conform to "The Empire Strikes Back"?
