@C.C. 95 they went all the way George Lucas on us! lol ..... whenever i talk to teens and young 20 somethings ... I always blow their mind when they talk of star wars and I bring up this question.
What would you think if a movie came out today and it was the first movie but yet it was Part 4. LOL! Its crazy thinking about it now .... who the hell starts their movies at 4,5,6 hahaha .... you get a movie now days and if it made good money and its possible then you get sequels and prequels ... but no one boldly says Episode IV to start. ha
